Yeah projects used to get the bare minimum, now its like okay whats the min to meet our commitments? 4 brigades plus training and op stock? Okay order that. Some projects like ERC have seen massive growth in how many we are ordering, from the barr minimum to actually what our doctrine says we...

That can be fixed ;)

Why mountain warfare isnt done in AB and BC makes zero sense to me.

1 staffer sure, but multiple? Seems a little much

Drone deal about to be signed between Canada and Ukraine. If its production and CAF use, this will be a win win

Smith now admits multiple staffers were on the call, but claims it was regular oversight. Yet none of them raised a red flag of every one on the call seeing Jason Kenny's personal information (Reportedly Rachel Notley's too). In the past, this kind of scandal has brought down governments.

Could be the result of positive economic data but the CPC trending around 70 seats is a disaster. If I was Pierre Poilievre's strategist, id be thanking my stars a election cant happen now till 2029.

Sorry the part is made to order in germany, best I can do is 13 months

New Ukrainian light ARV has entered production. Capable of recovering larger vehicles like M113, Senator and others. I feel like this is something that would benefit us as a lighter platform than ERC is bringing in.

100% but what i would suggest is sims at every armoury, but then a shared pool per brigade of vehicles to use for hands on at regular intervals.

Sims can train the basics, Sims dont teach you how a vehicle will actually handle at -30 in shilo. It still requires getting time on a real vehicle.

Indeed it has, and for the worse in my cases. I shouldnt have to have a $2000 computer to diagnose error codes to fix my car. Or a MSVS for that matter.

Part of the problem is as well, the army over the last several decades has shifted things that were user/operator maintenance to first line maintenance. This has a domino effect on everything else. A Sherman in 1956 could be mostly maintained by the crew, a leopard 2 cannot.

Depends what you are looking for, a senator can be around $600k, a EBRC Jaguar is about 5 million. What we need is something like the M113, something super cheap, and easy to maintain off a college mechanics diploma. With an optional turret or RWS.

Centralized equipment has been something many of us have said to combat the "reserves cant maintain things" arguement. Now if CAMO comes true fully, reserve service battalions will handle all first line maint and have hundreds of techs plus every unit will have an admin coy with techs. However...

1.5 per platoon

I mean the CAF does this too, we place people on rolling, continuous 89 day contracts so we dont have to pay benefits. At one point we had a person go 1.5 years doing this, took awhile to argue and convince brigade to release funds to make it a 3 year to get him benefits
