    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    PzH2000 would be a good option as well. It already shares many components in common with the Leopard which would make maintenance that much easier.

    Maybe like a gender reveal party? Are those still a thing?

    Iraq Unravels

    It's a standing position. The current CCA once occupied that post.

    Iraq Unravels

    They are always high-readiness. The 82nd maintains a BCT at high readiness at all times. It's also helpful that they forces they need right now in the Middle East right now are light infantry to help augment the facility security forces. The 82nd is not designed to be the front line in a...

    Iraq Unravels

    I can assure you that not only were CTS in Mosul, they did most of the heavy lifting on the ground. Their casualty figures reflect that as well. Won't comment on your experiences with them other than to say that mine were very impressive.

    Honours & Awards (merged)

    So how about a situation in which someone does over 30 days in Kuwait and then over 210 days in Iraq with no break in-between and no-return to Kuwait after Iraq. GCS-EXP with Bar right?

    Feds Cut Reimbursements for Military Health Care

    What is the practical effect of this, if any, for CAF members?

    Artillery callsigns vs other trades

    The better question for me is why does the rest of the Army use the wrong call signs? :)

    Philippines may declare war with Canada over trash

    Wouldn't that trigger Article 5 of NATO? The Philippines versus NATO would be awkward for everyone involved seeing as they are a key US ally in the region...

    The Brigade Fight

    The doctrine is basically the same. However, there is no Div Arty currently in the CA and certainly no Artillery Bde. As we can't realistically fight a Division, the concept of the Arty Bde with tactical tasks to support the various Bdes is probably just an academic one. In Canada, each CMBG has...

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Tracking and I totally get it. And thus we come back full circle to the problem of what exactly is the role of the PRes? Is it there primarily for individual augmentation on deployments, DomOps and to provide a presence across Canada or is it there to force generate sub or sub-sub units (or...

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    It would be hard to nudge 2 RCHA's training schedule much. July and August are spent supporting national tasks and leave. The first two weeks are a write off for collective training with support to Ex Collaborative Spirit, Terry Fox Run and Ironwarrior (Ironman). There's a right shoulder as well...

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    2 RCHA is fairly well positioned to do this. There are 6 PRes units within a days travel. 42 Field and 30 Field are regularly in the Petawawa training area anyways. Luckily, 7 Tor as one of the STA tasks and it's just a matter of TD to put 2 instructors in a vehicle with a LCMR for a few days in...
