If you can manage the basket weaving, you can manage the train line....

If this was a thing, there would be a 108 page discussion on Army.ca about it.

No, nobody has heard a thing about this. Where are you getting this information?

Nuns?

Read the history of St Patrick's Day parades in Toronto. Nothing new to see here.

Probably a tangent thread split, but the Russo-Ukrainian War is probably a good reminder that for much of our operational history we never saw Engineers below the brigade level and that even brigade was a bit of a stretch.

Sure, if we were fighting in red outfits in one big extended line with rifles.

A unit with any amount of sub-units can only manage as many tasks as its Comd and HQ can process. The Infantry Battalion had four companies because in 1912 it was decided to merge the existing eight coys in an Infantry Battalion to form "double companies" better suited for open order "Boer"...

I find it goofy that we would consider two different occupations based on the drivetrain of a vehicle that may or may relevant to the tactical task.

From Russia's perspective, the calculus makes no sense to me. Why would Russia trade land it has (unlawfully) annexed and occupied by force next to its borders in exchange for a US withdrawal from the hinterland of Syria, something it will eventually have to do anyways and that it's said that...

Go to a real failed state and then you'll see BC is just fine....

You'll be fine. I know a Regiment that spelled its own name wrong on an entrance sign.

If the government provides universal auto insurance does it need to own and manage all the auto repair shops?
