I hear but that doesnt mean the capability should be taken away. Armoured units use their M203s all the time for echelon members and now for assault troopers as examples.

Not loving that only the infantry are getting GLs though. There are many other people in the combat arms who could use them. Hopefully theres a follow on order for stand-alone launchers.

Looking like a real win for CAF procurement. BZ to all involved for such a relatively smooth procurement.

Seems the Americans blew up some water reservoirs for Tehran. If I was a Gulf state leader right now, I'd be sweating buckets about how my de-salinization plants just became "legitimate" targets.

The Sqn A1 and A2 echs are robust - but man is it a lot to manage for the 2IC, SSM and Adm Sgt. Drones make it so much worse.

Morning PT being runs down to the beach sound lovely.

Enjoy holdings counts while Im on the range shooting shit. 😉 Gives and takes I suppose. Neither here nor there as Im a toon. Thank my lucky stars for that lol.

Ill pass thanks - as shitty as being a crewman can be sometimes, nothing beats leading a good crew lighting shit up on live ranges with an AFV or the camaraderie of a good squadron.

Youll get no argument from this guy.

Oh come off it haha. The RCAF and RCN are rightfully getting major wins for a decade + at this point but large swathes of the Army are at a breaking point with equipment obsolescence and VOR. The army has been a "good corporate citizen" since the war ended. The ACSV is the only major thing off...

And for that - sign me up!

Maybe some scraps for the army please? Dying over here. Need some big wins over here.

Yeah, in Wainwright lol

Parking a tank of the side of a mountain for AVCON sounds a little silly. Simple as.

Its just a visualisation of a task matrix. It aint that deep. Heavy and light are pretty clearly defined in our doctrine and pretty well fleshed out in TTPs. Medium is certainly an abstraction as we havent operated at Div levels for decades. Its going to need to be relearned. Without getting...

US Army is apparently having a pretty major O&M crunch right now. ...first time?

Overreaching - the cavalry regiment are the masters of maneouvre warfare within the combat team. The infantry close with and destroy and the cavalry supports that with superior firepower and superior tactical mobility for the ultimate goal of shock action. That said, types of regiments can have...

We know what it means and how to do it, we're just underresourced to do it. Its actually a pretty simple concept once you understand the tasks and how they overlap between light, medium and heavy cav. Getting doctrine explanations from corporals tends to be a bit of a stretch haha.

They most certainly can. C Sqn RCD tried it out a few years ago and got with 10m of a target 7km away. Its still a bit silly to think of though haha.

For those not imvolved in procurement - whats the rationale behind divvied pots of money instead of one fund? Also - why is it called vote haha.
