I apologize. I took the opportunity to suck back and reload. To be absolutely clear: I am apologizing for the tone and the negligent discharge that caught you. Cheers. I stand by the content.

In the meantime, working with what is on hand https://news.usni.org/2026/02/27/u-s-army-attack-helicopters-hold-maritime-attack-drills-in-the-pacific

Poland Chunmoo K239s - 288 HIMARS - 500 K9 Thunder - 212 Local Production - > 600 Those kind of numbers?

Don't you think it would be better to figure out who takes over when the balloon goes up before hand rather than waiting 'til "come the day"? At least one sheet with one inventory of capabilities and responsible parties that can be called upon.

Or something like this.

Kind ofish. But I want to keep the reload/crew compartment clear. How about replacing the RWS with one of these? Weld it to the top deck and attach the weapon to it. You now have an Arnold Schwarzenegger articulated robot arm that can reach into the crew compartment, around the truck and...

PS Just wasted last night gathering some obscure stats and came to the conclusion that Canada already has a security force of about 600,000. And the Forces, the Regs, the Regular Army, the Deployable Regular Army that DAGs Green, is a distinct minority. Roughly on par with the number of...

Abso-ruddy-lutely. Engaging people where they are is always the plan. There is no other. Even the Danes, with their universal conscription, more like universal registration, is still asking for, and receiving, volunteers. As Colin said about the Cadets, we have to be able to stop apologizing...

We have to change the mindset of society. We have to engage society and convince them that defence of their country and family is an honourable vocation and that each and every member can contribute to the effort. And if that means that you have to put up with some well meaning old duffers...

That maps the effort. I want to map the effect.

So how much vigorish will the Musqueam get?

In the midst of all this: How goes the battle? What is the view from the street? The front line? I can't seem to find much hard video at all.

I believe that extending the Cadet level of engagement into an Adult league might be worth the experiment.

What was the impact of the Jaegers and Rifles on the battlefield? Initially a small proportion of the Line Infantry in firing platoons was sacrificed for a skirmishing line of light troops. Over time the proportion of skirmishers increased. When the machine gun showed up the firing platoons...

One the design front .... The M901 design appealed to me and I think it showed up on at least one of the early Rafael RWS offerings with a medium cannon in the 30 to 35mm range. The salient bit is the twin hinges. The upper one allows the weapon, in this case the TOW tubes, to elevate. The...

The Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC)—formerly known as the Cadet Instructor List (CIL)—is a sub-component of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Reserve Force dedicated to the safety, supervision, administration, and training of Sea, Army, and Air Cadets across Canada. Canada.ca +1 Here is an overview...

How much of the initial reseve training could be done by Non-Regulars. Assume that the initial course is 10 weeks. Suppose the candidates were required to show up, not just with an expected level of fitness but a prescribed set of skills and knowledge. Every week shaved off the course is a...

I got it wrong. The ADAD (Air Defence Alrting Device) I was thinking of was a Passive IR device.
