Wow... Interesting times to say the least.

Actually, a while back (April) it was raised by 23 Fd Sqn as a critical issue of getting trg prior to deployment, and although i'm not sure if it was successful, they were trying get em shipped out to Wainwright. Here in Pet the TFA R2 NCE ESU used the MPEV for a pre-deployment trg project last...

2 CER is running an MPEV Crse as we speak...... Not sure if its a CFSME sponsored event, but its definately running. FWIW, we have been using them throughout the workup trg.

Good read...

Slightly OT, but: Granted with our MOC a vehicle is more of a mode of tpt and rolling tool box, but we just took possesion of a brand new fleet of very nice MTVE's and TLAV's that will never leave the country either. Best part is that we train crews on the tracked fleet we have in Canada and...

Nope.... Straight Axles without Hub Reduction with conventional Spicer Driveshafts and Dual Cardan Front Axle Shafts. The Mamba did come with Portals also complete with Torque Tubes similar to its UNIMOG cousin. Also, the Mamba uses a Coil Spring suspension which is pretty sloppy on the road...

What is a Persistant landmine? Is there a Non-Persistant one? I've been in the landmine business for some time now and have never heard reference to this before. Persistant or Non-Persistant Nerve Agents do however ring a bell. Not trying to be an ass.... Just curious.

Approved generic FOB or Tented Camp designs already exist and vary depending on the number of pers required to operate out of them, and the length of time they are intended be in place. A combination of Combat and Construction Engineers on the ground take these designs and build them. Combat...

Yes, and they are getting pretty long in the tooth as well.... Especially when you use a tactical aircraft strategically for as long as we have.... Makes about as much sence as using a converted Navy airframe for troop hauling. I've been kicked out of Hercs that broke down more times than i've...

100% of both the Bloc and the NDP against the motion from what I saw...
