    Will the Army change the size of the infantry squad?

    Also doctrine. A WWII American squad had a scout team, and assault team and a fire support team. W WWII era German squad was essentially built around an MG-42 team. If future squads have robotics or other exotica, then they will have to be adjusted and built around that as well.

    Trudeau invited Chinese troops to train at Canadian military bases

    Future Armour

    And another future project moves farther forward: https://defense-update.com/20200525_mgcs.html The image from the article actually looks like the German Lynx IFV chassis with a very low profile turret, but since this is a press release, the image is likely more in the mind of the illustrator...

    One view of the "Great Reset'" purpose is to transfer the balance of power towards a more Corporatist structure, with more benefits accruing to managment and less to shareholders. This article also reminds us that Corporatism is a major element of classical Fascism...

    What’s in a Soldier? How to Rebrand the Canadian Armed Forces

    A few thoughts: More than one writer has pointed out there are actually "two" armies (although this could apply to any branch) - the long service professionals who did this more out of love or avocation than a "job", and those who flock to the call of arms when the need arises (think of the...

    All Things Air Defence/AA (merged)

    The US Army is working a a variety of systems, this one "may" be related to a current air to air missile system (Peregine), and provides coverage out to 25km.

    US Presidential Election 2020

    I think a good read of the piece demonstrates where the problems lie. Events like hundreds of thousands of ballots all for one candidate suddenly appearing at 0300h, or "glitches" which all go in one direction are statistically improbable at best (assuming you believe they are just random...

    The USSF considers how to conduct operations in cis Lunar space: https://spacenews.com/moon-patrols-could-be-a-future-reality-for-the-u-s-military/ This ties into the idea of the "Artimis Accords", which create a legal framework for the exploitation of extraterrestial resources. If you can...

    “Go ahead and imagine that you have privacy, if it makes you feel better.”

    The issue isn't so much being in public, but the steady intrusion into your own homes, the use of personal devices sharing data without (generally) your knowledge and informed consent and the use of "Big Data" to bring in information from disparate sources. There used to be an expectation that...
