Sorry Franko....I'll rephrase.....we don't have nearly the HUMINT capacity we should.  By that I don't mean just the HUMINT teams on the ground in theatre (who do a tremendous job), but all forms of HUMINT collection.  The CF is really starting to improve our HUMINT, they just established a...

CSE collects Signals Intelligence or SIGINT....basically any form of communications..with the aid of the CF Information Operations Group (CFIOG).  CSE is only devoted to foreign intelligence, domestic issues are not in its mandate, unless requested and warranted.  As far as creating a foreign...

291er, Leitrim.....

One question C-17.......I did'nt think you could be both a reservist and a cadet???

Tech Advisors are usually Reg Force or Reserve members from the Corps' supporting unit that come out to help out regularly with the Corps.  Essentially, they are there to ensure that military standards are followed and to keep a military presence with the Corps.  The Cadet Liaison Officer (who...

I'm a tech advisor with the local corps here....just wanted to get a general idea on the amount of tech advisors other units have, and whether they are considered useful or not.  Looking for a cadet's perspective so that I can adapt my ways as needed.  cheers

The rumour goes on to say that a CANFORGEN will be released Monday 7 Feb 05.  We'll see what happens, cross your fingers....

ex Reserve 031 with the PLF in Halifax....now a reg force 291er in Ottawa, 5 years and counting...

Word is that it'll be announced tomorrow by the new CDS....I also heard the rumour that it was 6.6% retro to last Apr, with another 2.4 this April, but I will just wait and see tomorrow....

rgr that crow.....no worries mate....water off a ducks back.....cheers

I will rephase that.....291 is the main trade that deals with SIGINT.....other trades may deal with it, but it is our bread and butter.  Definitely other trades deal with it, it is a form of intelligence..... As for your attack on me and my career experience, completely unwarranted.  I did not...

You're asking farmers to attack armed rebels, what do the farmers use for weapons?  A hoe is hardly a challenge to an AK-47.  Plus the Janjaweed are supported by the govt of Sudan, so they have the advantage.  What happens when they keep getting bombed by Sudanese Antonovs throwing mortar rounds...

what's that?  Sorry Radop can't hear you over all that money I'm making with my spec pay :P sorry for the burn, its really the only thing we can hold over you, and you're right, we're not a true signals trade per se, more closely affiliated with Int.  In the States most of our trade equivalents...

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Rebels in Sudan's western Darfur region called Sunday for the African Union to send more troops to Darfur and give the soldiers the mandate to stop government troops and allied militia from attacking civilians. The Sudanese government is sending more troops and military...

Plus officers get to do the actual analytical work.....some Int Ops get to do this as well, but not a lot as far as I know.....there are a lot of collators, etc....you have to think about what you want to delve into, what part of intelligence interests you the most, then decide based upon that.

Rushrules: Most of the R291ers are going to be ex Regs at this point, but eventually there will be the infrastructure in place to do this. As for having 291ers in all the major cities, no chance, unless they do EW.  FYI, though the city may have an ethnically diverse population, does'nt give us...

Stoney, FYI Bob Fowler is'nt with DND anymore and has'nt been for some years.  Ward Elcock is the DM now.....

seen...this is true, this is true, too many questions = no fun

Same goes for me field, feel free to gimme a shout. WRT OPSEC, aesop, I was'nt planning to go into the particulars of SIGINT, I was simply stating that it tends to be classified, that's why I would be surprised to see a CANFORGEN on it.  I just checked the CANFORGEN's for the past two years...
