Are you being allowed to run it with plates in it and no frag vest, or is it the frag vest with the PC over top?

I am not tracking any current active hearing protection having integrated ballistic protection. Honestly I would not worry about that, I would focus on getting every DICE helmet issued equipped with currently existing COTS active hearing protection. Notice how no one in the CA video on...

Some video of the vests etc. here https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1GEiLqmRWb/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The other item that’s interesting in this developing structure is that the 3 CMBGs are grouped as a single war fighting division with intentions to create the fires, protection and sustainment Bdes along with the Div HQ to make it a war fighting Div. Interestingly the reserves don’t seem to...

That is very true. That sets the stage for everything. It’s a hard slog to destroy the hold symmetry has on the CA.

I thought medical transport is the movement of patients between medical facilities. Intra hospital transfers, usually done by Ambulance civi side. The patient is usually stable and has already undergone treatment. Perhaps MEDEVAC is still prior to surgical intervention?

At first glance I thought it was good, and it has potential. However I too think it should aim at the Bde level. That’s were I start wondering about the overall theme of keeping all 3 CMBGs and their respective Engr, Arty, Svc Bn, HQ and Sigs and Fd Amb units as Mechanized units. All while...

I am curious what people think of this concept that I saw this month. 1. Remove the Light Bns from each of the 3 CMBGs. 2. Form a new Light Infantry Regiment (LIR) with the 3 Light Bns (No Cap Badge changes) 3. This LIR would have a LIR HQ and the 3 Bns. The HQ is more of a force generation...

Just a thought but just because a ship is designed doesn’t mean it has to be built immediately or perhaps at all. A CDC vessel, a sub tender, a hospital ship, a C2 ship like the Blue Ridge Class, maybe a militarized AOP 😂, pick 2-3 and get the designers working. Keeps the skills alive and the...

Ultimately the LPC for the last 12 years has been molded by Trudeau in favour of his aims and objectives. Despite Carney now being in charge the LPC MPs and personnel behind them are all still largely from the Trudeau era. That’s not a surprise and it’s unreasonable to expect much else, however...

As per the Seaspan CEO the design work for everything the GoC has ordered is largely done and winding down. It’s got nothing to do with how many ships are left to be built to the existing designs. Due to cost of maintaining the large and highly capable design staff that they have built from...

Eryx was never replaced though. It was just allowed to fade away.

Is there a historical example, say post 1969, of the Department of Defense and the CAF admitting that a medium or large scale equipment program had failed post delivery and then scrapped the program and changed directions?

Is Seaspan still planning on laying off large elements of its naval design staff due to lack of follow on projects? That capability was hard earned and built over the last decade. If NSS is going to be an actual strategic change to the Canadian boom and bust cycle, the Country needs to pay...

I’m going to say that 6 CCSB is not related to the comments by Comd CJOC in any way. The multi domain integration being discussed is between the various L1/2s; RCN, CA, RCAF, CAFCYBERCOM, and 3rd Cdn Space Division. I suspect the actual integration point will be JTF-N and CJOC itself.

If I was to hazard a guess, the sentiment above and overall perspective is not conducive to convincing anyone in the West to not want to separate. In fact the message is likely to drive an increased desire for separation. Just food for thought.

Technically the below CANFORGEN is still in effect but it’s only barely enforced in some units due to the utter ridiculousness of large aspects of it. CANFORGEN 076/14 DLEPS 14/014 091431Z MAY 14 CANFORGEN -076/14 - NON-AUTHORIZED SMALL ARMS MODIFICATIONS UNCLASSIFIED REFS: A...

Over anything else for upgrading an issue C7 quickly after drawing it without major disassembly I would add a good modern sling and mounts. Something like this for the buffer tube. https://grovtec.com/products/tri-base-buffer-tube-sling-mount-gtsw312 Something like this for the tri mount...

A province seeking independence though would have to consider those federal transfers in relation to the federal taxes paid by those residing in that province. That revenue to the federal government based on the federal tax rate from the residents of Alberta would represent the additional tax...

I dislike seeing soldiers having installed modern 2 point adjustable slings on their rifles, only to then not wear them properly and have them swing around like a pendulum below the gun. Especially annoying when they are specifically shooting at CQB distances. On the optics I posted this quite...
