Why build off the LAV 6 chassis into a tracked vehicle when the US already looked at it years ago and didnt like it? As many have mentioned on here the LAV 6 chassis is at its limits and it also doesnt have the right profile for an IFV.

It is on the cheaper side

So am I reading correctly here that there are little to no dismounts in the Assault system?

No unfortunately I live out West. I heard that there might be a tailor or two in Vancouver, BC who can do them and I do make my way out there usually once or twice a year.

Does anyone know a realiable place to buy new tartan trews? Cant seem to find anything that isnt in the UK or completely plastic.

The U.S Army’s New Ultralight Jungle Scouts

Agreed and the numbers dont exactly line up with the manning levels. Im not sure what 25% more of an armored regiment would do.

Canada seems to have followed in the US footprint of budget tools https://www.pbo-dpb.ca/en/research--recherches/tools--outils/force-structure-model--modele-structure-forces/index https://distribution-a617274656661637473.pbo-dpb.ca/43e281bce11f872d669c0ae01438a1ba4434976b09c67f44d66299ea756b1459

Got the reference for this? Got a buddy who is now an RQMS for a unit who this might apply to

While Im not 100% as it is a political football I get the impression from my own readings and ear recordings that the next couple years will be a testing period to see what PRes units need to be grouped together. I did hear that OR are merging at least out West.

Reconstition was dead on arrival since the Army felt there was no need to consolidated any of our numerous HQs and that our 3 full-time brigades shouldnt change either

Really hard to track the latest "unspent" numbers due to how the budget is presented but it must be near about 2 billion from pay alone with our near 20000 empty positions. Theres also the issue of a lot of CAF cash being spent on DEI initiatives. Lots of very expensive groups having to be...

Turns out they lied and they're cutting. Big shock of course https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/federal-government-looking-to-cut-1-billion-from-national-defence-budget/ar-AA1hqWzh?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=81e51d92c80344e888ebe4cdbe725d5b&ei=6#image=1

Again this kinda goes to the point that pursuing this program was the death knell of native fighter development. No one was going to buy a non native jet engine to put in their planes and with us knowing what we do now they would have just shut production of this new engine with the proceeding...

I actually just read about this the other day. The Brits were looking at potentially buying into the Avro Arrow however they quickly came to the conclusion that this wasnt the type of aircraft they would be needing in the near future. They cancelled their own planned interceptor and nearly...
