    MAV Study Focus Group Post

    1.    I think that is the easiest may to go, the preflight planing would have to be 3-D (Hopefully via Sat imaging) to take advantage of the tactical movement of the MAV. If it did have the AI to follow the map of the grd without instuction would be great and eliminate the need of the controller...

    Maybe a Hybrid type engine both conventional/battery/solar panel? as for range. how would it fit into the ISTAR plan/ Surveillance plan. I think the 2 km or less at the section level would be good. Are they not have problems in Iraq with the problem of coordination of all the UAV/Aircraft.

    CF Transformation & the Operational Commands (Merged)

    Another layer of Command? How is this cutting red tape. Will these "units"  report directly to him? or through the C ocf C anready in place. If the current C of C is ineffective or cumbersome, fix it, streamline, but not add to it. CDS-Area-Unit, what is the problem?

    For us, it was color coded symbols (Blue=Fr, Red=En, Green=Obs, etc), such as circles, squares, trianlges, etc and when you taped on the symbol a data window (with description, Grid, Speed etc) poped up.

    MAV Study Focus Group Post

    Here are a few notes, I lost my original post. This is such a large topic I will concentrate for now on the most common denominator the Controller interface. I think that a head mounted interface is not the way to go. Everybody likes to add equipment to the head because they think it is...

    when does rations/board come off your pay?

    Does this mean that the Pte (Pay level Recruit-2) are going to lose their guarded rates on quarters? If they want to be treated equally, careful what you wish for.

    Compulsary Regular Force Service for Reservists for Deployment Opportunities

    No, I would think of it as that. With a Reg force basic engagement you must factor in BMQ, SQ, DP1, SLT. This is a lot of training time and takes up the first 12-14 months of a soldier first BE, That does include any holding/PAT/Retreads. And know a lot of MOS are ging to a longer BE i.e. Medic...

    Compulsary Regular Force Service for Reservists for Deployment Opportunities

    I do think this is feasible. A new mbr from to Recruit to First Op Posting is a lot of money. The majority of reservist are single and young. The percentage of married would be the same as the reg force. Maybe Posting a family of a reservist for the contracted time period would help as well...

    Compulsary Regular Force Service for Reservists for Deployment Opportunities

    Why not go after your schooling or before? The choice is yours, the army would not be making you go. With the newer money benefits it should be a incentive. To pay for school or pay off school. I do not understand students doing a tour in the middle of schooling, lack of focus or planning maybe...

    Compulsary Regular Force Service for Reservists for Deployment Opportunities

    Res Infantry :Is it possible to be fully qualified for deployment in one summer?

    If your main goal is to "go on deployment" I don't think the reserve option is the way to go. With the amount of time spent on "BMQ, SQ, BIQ redeployment Training, Deployment, post deployment" you should just apply for the regular force and do an initial basic engagement. Your chances for a...

    Topo Maps

    Your local map store or hunting/camping outfitter will have topo maps available for your area. I don't know of very many range controls that provide free maps unless you know somebody there. It would come out of their own operating budjet.
