45B, essentially you are correct, but Target Grid Correction is name of the L-R/A-D method, and the method you had described is specifically known as impact adjust. However, the LAV OPV normally sends an exact correction based on the initial round of adjustmentand a direction of 6400, as you...

The FOO should be qualified FAC, but it is not necessary. When they are, it is usually operationally based, however more and more FOOs from the Regiments are getting qualified. I don't know of any Reserve FOOs who are qualified, nor would they need it. At the very least the FOO should have an...

Very Good post Bomber... And mountie, you mention the TACP for Close Air Support in the US are you familiar with how that works...

Wayne? Are runs out west easier to get than a 2 Bde?

Are there many CR FACs out there on this forum, if so how long have you been able to maintain your currency, and how?

Lance, Never heard of that, if I'm wrong then I stand corrected, I was not aware the armoured guys who were employed as airborne observers attended the Arty Field Troop Comd Crse.

I think what snow puncher is talking about is the employment of Armoured Guys in traditional Arty roles on peace support operations. For example, Athena ROTO 3, there was a debate on whether the FAC position would be manned by the RCD or 2 Horse. Bottom line is that, neither side should worry, I...

IPC10, You know that the most of us do not want infantry jobs, and I think that you are on line with the reasons why other troops are lined up on infantry positions. The sum total is that in the Canadian scheme of operational planning the infantry are not the close with and destroy the enemy...

The Regiments have airmobile and airborne OPs in 2CMBG they are in F Bty supporting 3RCR. Many from F Bty are basic para....and the same is true of the light guns out west.

AN GVS 5A is the laser that we were using, however we now use the ESL, and I can't remember its designation of the top of my head(but looks very similar). However, it has a angle measuring head that give you the bearing to the tgt as well as the distance, and you can plug a GPS into it and get a...

Once the data was passed to the sig inputing the data, first round was about 2-3 min. This included a positive safety element. Actually quite effective. On the gunline, the CPO still had his check map and then there was also the regular version of the IFCCS to check to see if the ballistic...

Understood, I was mixing the concept with the Unit- ISTAR Coy

I believe that it was both a harware problem and a compatability problem. I don't think anyone has thought that far. No there was no voice prefix, the CP IFCCS had a pop-up window indicating there was a Fire Msn and data had been received.

WO Willcox, I was wondering where you were on this topic?

Since I started this thread I have had the chance to fire the first digital msn in the Canadian Artillery, it was completed entirely without voice, and as a functional level it was very effective. It was designed around an OP Client for the IFCCS. Date was inputed at the OP end and transmitted...

In addition to that the Silver Fox cartwheels very nicely

Intellegence, Survailence, Target Acquisition and Recce. In the roughest form it is a unit which ties all these sensors together to provide a commander with a near real time picture of the battlespace or the AO.  Someone on this forum, who has more experience, please correct me and expand...

So it had really nothing to do with his training and experience as a CIC officer, in fact couldn't a civi do exactly the same job. Was it palladium what Roto. We work with the Armed Forces of Canada, which requires formal authorityto manage an armed force. You work with youth, you do not...

Like an ISTAR Coy, Ghostwalk?
