Imagine a Toronto vs Edmonton SCF. That is if Toronto can get past it's worst playoff enemy, the dreaded 1st round (2023 being too small of a sample size)

The started fielding them last Spring and should be complete. Unless I am misreading the order, looks like for the CA the RegF CMBG units will hold theirs individually while for the PRes it seems that each Div TC will create a pool of stock for units not holding individually to draw on for...

I mean if they can do NETP/BMQ-L/Hotelcheckin(kidding) without any infra or other resources then sure. If not teach 'em met stuff and let the environment(s) take care of their business

Sure but why? They should leave the Met school ready to do their Met job and the environment gets them ready to work in the environment (can happen before/after trades trg). In smaller trades, they may have to take more than one environmental course over thier careers. That already occurs so...

Meh, the trade schooling can remain the same. All that changes is that you stay working in one environment and/or move to truly purple roles throughout your career. The RCAF /RCN would have no issues as they do their environmental courses internal to them. It is only the CA that decided that...

I can't wait for us to try and use the system 10-20 years down the roads and have to spend millions to refurb all the seals, gaskets and other mechanical parts that need regular preventative/routine maint. It is crazy how much space they occupy at our depots for such a useless system

That is how contractual obligations work. Generally for CA fleets we buy many parts at once in larger quantities, usually only having them delivered to 3rd line facilities ( depots or coastal BLogs) to allow for distribution across the CAF and to maintain quality control/technical inspections...

But what if there is a railhead, can we use that? For the donkey and mules that is

Just so I make it clear, I am on a very far rung on the tank support file currently. I recently assisted the LEO EMT with some orders for the NISKU Regional Maintenance Center (RMC) facility but I don't work in/around the tanks day to day. When I was in Edmonton myself and a number of key...

No worries, it is just a high level over view. As much as it pains me to admit our DGLEPM/RCEME folks are great at their jobs even if they at daily/ individual level they can be frustrating. For the RCN, it makes sense that it's more tightly controlled considering it's reducing a system on...

Meh, Halifax has never had a serious explosion that threatened its survival before /s

Meh, parts reclamation is cannibalization (para 19 of the ref) and typically done at 3rd/4th line typically (para 30) to bring parts back into service. If you go pick a part from the parked Gwagons to get other vehs running at 1st/2nd line that is cannibalization. In any case it is mere nuance...

In the Army for Land Maintenance the concepts are called robbing & cannibalization. There is an entire manual for any nerds out there POLICY/MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES ROBBING, CANNIBALIZATION AND DENIAL OF EQUIPMENT C-04-005-001/AG-B04 Robbing is removing a part to get another...

I've been involved with the tank fleet for years, primarily in a tertiary support role. Parts have always been a challenge, but I haven't seen the issue quantified in some time. Since my RCEME colleagues often attribute problems to missing parts—when the real bottleneck might be a lack of...

Sure that is my point, what may work for the PRes as suggested by @Halifax Tar is a non-starter on the RegF side of the house. Properly manning and staffing tactical and institutional CSS roles and giving them the right ARAs is crucial, not jamming Svc Bns with every task.

Do you mean for the PRes? Or across the board? On the RegF side of the house the Svc Bns are largely divesting institutional functions and putting them back to the bases or the base support formations. It makes no sense for a tactically orientated unit to be resp for institutional functions

The site was upgraded over the weekend and is "newly" broken.

CDA SEM (+SEM Finance) holds the data on the costs for most subsidization education programmes so they ultimately would provide the data but it should be through DGMC (your CM) as they will process your release. I will admit that finding a process of any sort is painful if you are already out...

It is an awesome anecdote. The fact that it was held onto for that long and the staff knew it was Op Stock was pretty damm good.

There is that. But there is also deliberate overuse of control mechanisms for no reason. Lots of materiel needs release authority but if it is blindly given 95+ percentage of the time what use is it? All it does is prevent materiel from getting into folks hands in a timely manner. Use controls...
