CLIBG Oh now you know expect the CA to have a TO&E for a Light Infantry entity AND a LAV based one. Geez. Your asking for a lot. For years the only difference was someone had crossed out the LAV’s in the picture

Which is something that any lawyer or contracts person in competitors will use to suggest the solicitation was rigged.

I did that once. In my defense I had no idea that office (of the mutual Mustache) at the Pentagon was a SCIF But under this administration it’s par for the course. As long as didn’t mean to invite the wrong guy to the Signal group call… The Air Force has admitted in briefings that they...

Every vehicle was a CA vehicle other than the Senator. Yes including the M151A2 One may argue the Iltis was a downgrade. The LSVW definitely was a downgrade over the 5/4 Chevy’s.

I get that. I just think it sends a message one that it’s a CAF vehicle- before contract award.

Entirely not shocked -- oh look Putins wins again - you could have printed the article a few days ago -- the vote wouldn’t change...

Except that operation air hours in theatre are significantly skewed towards the F-35.

Most Vendors will see that as a major party foul. A Government entity promoting a non adopted system. Frankly if that occurred down here, they would be in for a fairly significant lawsuit if they won. Gen Milley (USA ret) derailed a source source JNA for Glock 19 pistol for the Army based...

Sort of maybe but maybe not Not mutually exclusive from what @Harris said. You need larger throughput than what you have. But having a legion of poorly trained/partially trained folks doe no one any good. There are a lot of instructional tools that can do EDI in a VR setup so the student...

The closest affiliate would be the ARNG. Which runs a 1 weekend/month (Friday evening to Sunday evening) and 2 weeks a year schedule. Basically 39 days a year Edit: Some units are now on a 64 day / year - but this appears to be a voluntary aspect (folks choosing to move into a higher...

I’m suggesting that the evening ‘training’ nights are just a waste of time for anything but social interaction. The goal of the PRes should be to have effective units, not provide people with a weekly drinking club. Right now the CA doesn’t get its money out of the vast majority of...

Al Jazeera is a lot more credible reporting than many Western ones, unless your looking for Palestinian casualties

I think you may be remembering more nostalgia than reality. That’s 2hrs The ARNG do virtually nothing on weeknights. They use training days on weekends, or blocks of active duty.

Russia is bottled only in the Black Sea. They have freedom elsewhere as Western Navies aren’t interdicting, or otherwise containing them. They will just make more islands… Unless someone kicks over their sandcastle.

One could argue they don’t. At least not in the Black Sea. They have naval artillery. The ships won’t last a minute past the UXV screens.

Weekends. 3hrs is never 3hrs on an evening. I know when I was a reservist that at least 30min was wasted in signing in and then nominal roll parade.

Just a GRU ‘reservist on leave’, nothing to see here. :rolleyes: Someone needs to accidentally cut off his head and delivery it to the door.

It was all over the EBB this am. and other things in the Beltway were chirping about this after the disclosure yesterday. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2026/09/14/us-air-force-secretary-reveals-deployment-of-on-orbit-space-control-weapons/

If you wish to avoid it come up with an alternative. I quote it simply because it comes from articulated needs. Because it was determine to be the best method. Mortars got smaller and portable to make sense to allocate to the Infantry. - We can quibble about if LAV based firepower is...

GR66 addressed that - Mortars belong to the Battalion Commander -- the Arty does not. The Guns can be tasked away -- the Mortars cannot (well I guess technically the Bde Comd could detach them from the BN - but that is splitting hairs and is extremely unlikely if the BN is in contact or...
