Perhaps true but still the “new” Liberals have not repudiated the previous Liberals gun control policies though.

Meanwhile in Australia, First two HIMARS are delivered to the 1st Long Range Fires Regiment of the 10th Fires Bde. https://www.janes.com/osint-insights/defence-news/defence/australian-army-takes-delivery-of-first-himarss Australia has down selected two contenders for the weapon system to...

Could not 2-3 things be true? First, the RCN needs to focus on rebuilding its personnel strength and getting the RCD and JSS and subs in service. Second, Canada has a need to commence new design work if we want to maintain what we have created so far. Third, we need a consistent build...

Seems like the next 18 months will see a key indicator on if Canada has learned anything in the last 15 years and if we were and are serious about rebuilding and maintaining a national sovereign ship building capability.

If we answered these questions then we could have an understanding of what we are looking at needing. Having the ability to move an asset in as many ways as possible to include by air is a specific criteria that comes with other trade offs that may or may not be worth investing in. Without...

Fastest yes. I would not consider air efficient in relation to rail and ship.

In terms of MND North, it will be interesting to see if the Dane and Cdn LRPF batteries get integrated into the Latvia Bn ( I assume they will have a dedicated Bn for their HIMARS). Alternatively if there is a second MN Arty Bn formed with the LRPF batteries all in it with all the guns staying...

Why do we need the ability to move the LRPF by air? Is it deploying via air inside Canada or in an expeditionary capacity? Are we repositioning it inside an theatre AOR that can be reached by tactical airlift ( ie operational level manoeuvre)? Are we wanting to reposition it between...

Fair enough. As the case for the HIMARS purchase is primarily LSCO in Europe I did not initially think of continental defence, which is a part of the Aussie employment construct I believe. I don’t believe that idea has been the basis of any northern operations construct. I would love examples...

The Army may think that’s cool and useful but thats a joint force employment concept paired with a foreign policy which together represent a strategic national policy that has no grounding in reality whatsoever in Canada. If we get PRSM with its 500km plus range, the CA better figure out how to...

Up and out would gut your leadership too. The leadership in the CA is seeing their professional knowledge shrink and their professional skills erode. Adding up and out to 2 year Command billets, 1 year postings etc. would likely make things worse. In terms of CA Capts; what other rank has...

Yup, it’s a great principle!

What drives the 36 and 12 numbers?

https://cssa-cila.org/mark-carney-confirms-trudeaus-gun-confiscations-will-continue/ He commented during the French Language debate that he supports and will continue the firearms confiscation.

If true that she is nominated as the LPC candidate and Carney signs off that nomination, that is a clear indicator that the LPC has not fundamentally changed under Carney and will in fact continue its hard left drive on culture. Something that will bleed across everything.

Still the Rem 870P. Did the RCN replace the 870 with a different shotgun or just move to C8/C7?

Interestingly enough I don’t see any recognition of or plan to address what I would say is the reserves fundamental problem. Job protection legislation in event of a mobilization via OIC, and; A explicit willingness to mobilize Reserve Units and formations for tasks and missions both domestic...

Technical aircraft capability aside. Is there enough YFR, sim time, etc. in a year for the aircrew to be capable/proficient/expert at all the roles? Even if the aircraft and aircrew are able to do it all, they can’t do it all at the same point in time and space. I don’t think that’s...

The MSVS was not built in Canada. Final assembly was done. That is a very large difference, it may have moved them in front of the others for the project but it means very little in terms of Cdn industry.
