EOD in Germany?

Imagine being "secretary of war" and, failing to be able to prosecute and win wars, you need to compensate for your inadequacies by mocking a kids' summer camp in another country. It must take a big man to pick on a girl.

Your right. He could deliver a devastating strike on the island, achieve nothing of strategic influence, and then carry on in a worse position than now. What he cannot deliver is a decisive blow.

Maybe three months if we bought strategic materiel depth in the form of wartime Ops Stocks (which would require real-estate, infrastructure, and organizations to support) and full SMP fleets (instead of SMP & MilCOTS mix). Add a LogStock for an extra week of production.

The echelon system is supposed to be internal to a land unit and, while it can be extrapolated to a brigade level, it stops making sense outside the manoeuvre & combat support units. So, helicopters would not have been part of an F Ech outside of the situation of a flight being attached to a BG.

I am reading his post as a threat to Iran and not a claim of such a thing actually happening now. All he has left is threats that he can’t deliver.

It’s AI video. Looks like a threat that he won’t be able to follow through on.

CAMO requires our doctrine to be rewritten because we don’t have doctrine for the scope of what CAMO is building. It is really not a barrier to what can or cannot be called a brigade.

Looks someone’s AI may still be writing checks that he can’t fulfill.

The presence of Artillery & Engineers is why Canada calls its maneuver formations as “Brigade Groups.” You don’t need these for a brigade (and all the CMBGs are loosing their artillery without a matching name change). A Service Battalion is also not a hard requirement for a brigade intended to...

Shades of 1937.

The municipality is proposing to rename something that it owns. So, doing much better than a guy renaming an international body of water to spite the owner of the other half.

When has that not been the case?

Was it 3 Combat Group when it was shut down?

Apparently “group” did not sound cool enough, and “brigade” implied something bigger with more than just infantry.

Maybe. That's mission/theatre dependant.

Theatre activation is political and sustainment functions. Lots of work for logisticians and engineers. Not something a light battalion is suited for. https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2alpha/alpha-fra.html?lang=fra&i=1&srchtxt=THEATRE+activation&codom2nd_wet=1#resultrecs

At least he has not yet claimed the Falklands for the US. I wonder if there is anyway to reverse the decline into idiocracy. “The American empire is in decline, its global dominance receding and internal political institutions in decay. Trump is a symptom of this decline, and his inevitable...

I think this is an age thing. My driving licence and medical records both give my height in metric, and I generally hear kids & young adults use metric to describe their own height. My parents and older relatives set their thermostats in fahrenheit, but when I visit anyone younger it is...

And what of Francophone NB & MB? Are you equally content if labelling in Quebec has no English? Do we also abandon the metric system and other regulatory information requirements so American companies can just ship products with their domestic labelling?
