Sorry Geo but I'm gonna have to challenge you on this one, not that the Arty guys are like Inf but on a couple of other things there. Yea you could argue the point about the guns being further back than the FEBA but I'm not so sure there is such a thing in the COE now is there ?Don't get me...

X-Grunt Couldn't agree with you more, I think if they start taking guys from one trade(s) to keep the another one topped up its going to lead to a lot of problems not too far down the road. I'm of the same mind, utilize the reserves more, at least you're not starting from scratch. Infidel- Its...

Might be a short term solution, but I really think the CDS is robbing Peter to pay Paul with this. I know that the TF is based off 3 Inf Coys(4 including the one going to the PRT) but I know all the other Cbt Arms units are short too and when 08 roles around and Areas start having to do sole...

Anyone here anyhting about the 109's(in limited #'s) making a comeback ? I'm hearing rumblings that it may be soon, very soon as a matter of fact and just wondering if anyone else has heard anything about this ? If not well than you heard it hear first ;D

Arty God Once again dude I'm not trying to bash you or anything but they actually don't have one tube(Mortar) per gun, they usually have 2. 

Arty God With a self proclaimed name like that I would expect better of you, I guess you haven't watched the news in the last 6 months and saw those big 777's going to work eh. Granted the arty does do do a lot more with the mortars than they used to but most of the time that's the SACs call...

Could it be that TF 2-07 was cancelled a little too early ? I know that they need to train troops but now after 4-06 then what ? I think they've taken most of that TF now(2-07) minus the coy tasked to the 1-07, and tasked them to death meaning the guys will still be gone for the same length of...

Don't know if I can be of any help here but the math is definitely right. There are 3 troops in each battery however it is 2 Gun Tps and one OP Tp now, the HQ elements are embedded in the gun tps because, as they are doing now in Afghanistan they have to be able to work independently. The gun...

TCBF The right handed feed question, I know you got the Lynx but what about the Grizzly ? That was or still is a R feed.

I've heard that it actually was 4 Troops before, 2 Gun Tps with 3 guns per                                                                   1 HQ Tp (CP&Recce)                                                                   1 OP Tp (G11,12,19A) Now the current TF configuration is 2 Gun Tps...

Gitmo Shhhhhh......go back to your hole you came out of.....don't worry we'll protect you and your naive ideas no matter whole miniscule and irrelevant they are to the real world. By the way you wrote the same comment what, 4 times, kind of original eh. Is that your Mom I hear coming ? You...

Iterator The current TO&E has actual gun batteries down to 4 guns vice 6. I've been told that was a 2 Horse concoction from when they deployed to Kabul and the army thought it was such a splendid idea that they haven't gone back to 6 guns since. With regards to your question each gun det is 8...

Kind of an interesting article so I figured I'd throw in here. Back to the Wolf/Dragon thing, I've heard that the reason (and I'm not bilingual)they changed the name was "Dragon" is the same thing in English as it is in French whereas "Wolf" is translated differently. Anyhow could be urban myth...

Journeyman I think they use the fourth guy as basically a pack mule, I know they are doing a ton of light stuff so they have everyone packing a piece of the mortar ie baseplate, tube and tripod and the fourth guy carries a tri-pack. Its not alot of ammo but its something at least and if they're...

ParaMed Tech Its at the beginning of Mar. I'm not sure if we're allowed to give specific dates for an exercise, if anyone can confirm I'll gladly give them to to you. I think they are doing a night jump as well, kinda too bad though, I know thats what would probably be happening if they really...

Fellas Just a note on this, I was talking to a C-Bty soldier and he told me they are sending a troop out to Kamloops on a jump ex(mortars) Seems the plan is to jump 4 tubes(4 man dets)2 OP parties(4 guys in each party)and a CP(4 guys again)Not trying to insult anyones intelligence by giving #'s...

GO Not sure I agree with you and your source that we're just keeping the Arty around till WWIII breaks out. What other all weather fire support(FS) is out there ? Not CAS, no AH, most of the places we operate are far out of the rge of naval FS so then what. US Gunners are firing weekly in...
