The difference is that the Arrow was never going to be anything other then an interceptor. That style of aircraft (the design) wasn't going to practical for a multirole fighter, reconnaissance plane, strike fighter, etc. It was also not as competitive as other designs our allies were cooking up...

With the way and amount of money being thrown at Ukraine I wouldn't surprised if nearly all new spending is deferred until the next election as theres enough money going out the door that can be labeled as defence spending that it might look like an effort to up the numbers.

Seeing a lot of people on here who aren't happy about the move away our traditional ranger green tunic. Heres my proposal for the CAFs dress uniform for the 21st century. And no cap badges!

Stable belt enthusiasts are going to lose it after seeing this

Ironically with the way Artillery has been treated as a branch in Canada we seem to be pushing for the opposite

Yes the RSS and the battalion level amount to around 500 or so thanks to unit taskings. From there you have 10 brigades and 5 division headquarters, as well as ASUs. This adds up to a surprising amount of people to make no mention of the Class B at every unit and their HQ. All I am saying is...

Just some musing after reading these posts over the last couple years. My scheme doesn't involve new pers per say but relies on the consolidation of regional and reserve formations in way that still leaves a bit of room for regiments of old but not kingdoms. A huge issues I see is that the...

Unsurprisingly the mods on reddit didn't let this one see the light of day

I mean the "average risk to offend" rating isn't surprising for this guy considering how he as a new troop just asks his more senior coworker on a domestic operation if they want to have sex for which they give them the old "no thanks I don't really know you that well, only for them to grab them...

Very telling that the PMO is again trying to push the CAF down the armed disaster response force model that many higher ups were reportedly being told. The goal being that only CANSOFCOM would see deployment outside of Canada and would be the countries sharp stick.

"Reducing barriers" :rolleyes:

Good news, cracks legal!

Ironically it appears that unit groupings/amalgamations are still moving forward. But without any other changes to training and employment the "leadership" at these consolidated units likely wont know what to do with a company on ex. Personally I would like to see us adopt a USNG style method of...

No I believe that has all been kiboshed. There will largely be no change in formations but reserve units will be required to have formations generated by the units themselves and on call as required

Its funny that there are members who will still argue how the Harper years were somehow worse then now

Thats a long time for people to be away from their families

I can find Ottawa, London, and Windsor but nothing else, particularly out West in BC. Do you have any sources?

Does anyone have any good resources or sources for logos, flags, or whatever for the old Militia Districts, and Area commands? Im really curious but cannot find anything out there.

While thats certaintly true for the post WW1 and WW2 period Britain was still very quick to trade away territory to the US in territory disputes if it meant getting a better trade deal for themselves back home. I could go into detail but the politics of the Empire shrunk to be squarely focused...
