Like how? HIMARs is only on paper with no funds identified. No funds for replacing donated guns and replacing the RCA with modern ones including SPH. No ammo streams identified or invested in to secure replacement ammo. Only tanks being upgraded are those going to Latvia. No funds for...

There are the trappings of a modern army in Latvia but the situation for everyone is Canada isn't close. But Latvia is only a collection of various company sized combat elements.

Seemed like it over focused on some projects and missed the elephant in the room that there is not intent for the major procurement projects to materialize as the timelines tell a very telling story even with the latest LVSW replacement. Additionally the aggressive padding of the defense budget...

The number of 90 is interesting as the US plans to push 59 to every light infantry brigade. Based on that number you would expect to see 20 in Latvia, 60 for the LIBs, leaving the remaining 10 or so for training or war stocks.

Not navy but I do enjoy the star destroyer aesthetic of the RN design.

Does anyone have any information or sources for the post war militia organization that existed until 1964? I have seen what is available on www.canadiansoldiers.com but was wondering if there were any other sources out there. I have also contacted DHH but they have a huge waitlist and have not...

I would pose that maybe this is how the explanation/role/justification for submarines is being posed to cabinet ministers.

A more palpable solution may be to run both parties like the Liberals/Nationals in Australia. Let the Conservatives run outside of the two major metro populations while the BCU runs for those city seats only.

Might have been close to being possible as only about 50% of Canadian military personnel deployed vs 75% in our allied countries. If we had deployed the same numbers as the Americans and Australians we likely could have seen 7/8 divisions and an additional armored brigade. By the end of the war...

Sounds like validation for 2 Mech and 1 Light Infantry battalion per brigade to me!/s

I wouldnt worry about this too much. This concept has yet to be initiated and is mainly just newspeak to deal with the lack of LAV 2 Coyote replacement which affects the regular force. Reserve armored units have a number of sub roles assigned to units but are doing largely the same DP1 they did...

I think you gotta play the language/population game a bit. It blows having to be shoe horned into it but due to the weak representation in the Navy and less so the RCAF you army needs to carry the difference of having units and bases in which Francophones can serve. Arguably you also need to...

I think like the CP-140 we will likely end up with the refit complete and F-35s start coming in at the same time.

The material and colour are pretty annoying as I'd like to be able to find a better quality shirt with the same colour for those one or two times a year but its impossible.

Hasn't the RCN already indicated that the new class will be destroyers due to their tonnage and armaments?

Wait till I tell you about the senior "leaders" in the Reg Force lol

Having read the notes this seems to be a great example of the CA getting the space to do something and doing it well.
