The blitz killed about 43,000 people. 1940s Britain had a population of about 44 million. So it killed about 1 in every 1000 people. COVID19 has killed 132,000 in Britain. Their current population is about 66 million. So far it has killed about 1 in 500. So, apples are about twice as likely to...

In a conventional fight isn't this what we would use CSOR for? A bunch of fit, motivated, light forces led by Senior Captains who have been selected for the role.

CBC Article From the article: "Military has not assured ranks of training necessity, COVID-19 precautions, soldier says" Maybe this, UR, MR and ICE are necessary but I don't think we are going to win the PR with the public war if we can't even convince our own troops.

Here is a quick cut and paste of the latest CANFORGEN on Reserves joining JTF2: The same info for those that prefer it in a less made up/bastardized language:

Download the Canadian Armed Forces app on your phone. Then open the "CANFORGEN" section. The solicitation for this year has not been published but if you look through 2019 you can see the call for volunteers with a description of the minimum requirements.

From the article:

Judging from the number of times it says Navy/Ensigns/anchors on the NCDs I think the preferred option would be "Boat Master Boat Warrant Officer." Just to make sure people get it.

From the Government's fact page: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/news/2019/08/canada-negotiates-new-armoured-combat-support-vehicles.html Right now we are trying to read tea leaves. Part of problem is the press releases are probably not written by pers who really have all...

I dearly love the bisons as a platform but they have been used hard for too many years. Most units I know concede they will only have about 50% of their fleets road worthy at one time. Even with their crews working full time to maintain them and full time mechanics supporting them we can barely...

I wouldn't worry too much about the current makeup of Troops in each regiment. Those are the kinda things that change constantly depending on operational need, equipment availability, command personalities and manning levels. It is currently a time of great flux for the Armoured Corps...

Where new guys can go when posted to the Regiment: A & B Sqn are tank squadrons. They are, on paper, mirrors of each other and do exactly what you think. Through their superior mobility and firepower they destroy the enemy. Recce Sqn (D Sqn) is mounted recce for the Brigade. They move around...

Then you would have a two engine vehicle. Problem solved, we should by F-35s and Canadianize them by strapping Gripens to them.

Where did you get the PAM? As far as I can see, by checking the DIN and the Infantry School's ACIMS page, the old one has not been superseded yet. The reason there has been no fanfare may be because the PAM has been written by the experts but not yet approver by 40 different paper pushers in...

Machine guns, grenades, ruck marches, digging holes, inspections and other stuff. Maybe manpacks or maybe not, as they are their way out. Maybe the Carl G, they seem to have added it and taken it out of the TP multiple times over the last decade.

If you are going to remote the batteries you can get a cable that allows you to plug a manpack battery into a 152. That will give you a tonne of time before you need to swap batteries.

Integrity is very important in the CAF. We trust our people at their word all the time for a lot of different things. If you are the type of person that lies, especially about something as inconsequential as why you are not at work, perhaps the CAF is not a good fit for you. We want people who...

Systems to do this already exist. The civilian telecom industry uses lasers to push data around built up areas. We use technologies like HCLOS to push data around the tactical battle space.
