But is that a purpose, or are those tasks? Tasks that were thrown to it because it existed and we were invested if finding something for it to do? Tasks that will bifurcate its areas of interest & of influence on the battlefield. Split between combat support inclusive of forward areas, and land...
Still finding new ways to alienate allies. “We have decided to send you a bill for things my predecessor did”

I am not looking for a philosophical discussion that exists in a vacuum away from reality. There may be hundreds of alternative possible systems, but we have an existing system - a start point. The effort to change from where we are now to some alternate system is relevant to evaluating that...

Current expectation is that you must re-pass the test before the anniversary of your last successful test. Gone are the days when you could take a test on 01 April, and then 729 days later take a test on 31 Mar.

Doggedly demanding a fitness test without being able to articulate a legitimate...
When creating or reshaping units & formations the first step, before even writing doctrine to describe the organization, is to define why the organization will exist - what is its purpose.

Have we done that with all the...
Thank you for demonstrating that you don’t understand the meaning of BFOR. I explained it up thread. You can go back and educate yourself.
There is a legal requirement that leads to CIC being CAF officers (that was also provided earlier). It doesn’t matter that you want them to be something...
We need to put our efforts into figuring out how to get Americans to start using "Loonie" as the term for a one dollar coin.
