Yes. The CDS and DM signed off the new DND/CAF language policy a few weeks back. Highlights: By 2030: All officers - BBB (Col/Capt and above remain CBC) All essential MOSIDs (essential MOSIDs are HRA, FSA, Posties, all med trades, dental assistants, MPs, and SAR Techs) - BBB All WOs/PO1s and...

See page 52.

The report is pretty damning of the Sgt and WO who conducted the investigation, particularly the WO who appeared to discard evidence to the contrary.

The Game of Thrones scene with Bolton and his dogs comes to mind.

The article is overly complementary towards the Ukrainians.

Top one is a good article. It's not secularism, but rather officers are expected to participate in religious ceremonies of their troops, regardless of their own religion (eg a Hindu officer will fast with his Muslim soldiers during Ramadan). Religion is a collective activity in the Indian Armed...

To an extent, yes. There are other reasons as well.

https://www.army.mil/article/289410 Interesting, US Army stood down three Service Component Commands, FORSCOM, USASOUTHCOM, and USANORTHCOM that belonged to the US Army, US Southern Command, and US Northern Command respectively and created a USA Western Hemisphere Command in its place. A single...

Not necessarily - I can see the requirement to FG personnel for bespoke joint organizations that are deployed abroad. Lets get above the level of a few personnel posted to a ship. Say Task Force Latvia requires a modest medical unit of 30 people. We don't pick up a clinic or a field ambulance...

I believe it will handle Force Development for purple capabilities just as the "services" do their own FD. Just as force generating a fighter capability or a ground based long range strike capability is overseen by RCAF or CA FD organizations, now the FD for joint functions will not be ad hoc...

I've long been a proponent of this. It's a Force Generator orphanage. We've got a few 2 and 3*s in Ottawa whose principal role is to manage the corporate side of the house - the VCDS is in some ways the COS of the CAF, while CMP is supposed to be in overwatch over military HR (ie. CAF J1) but...

:ROFLMAO: You obviously haven't met the United States Military Industrial Complex.

Guy in basement with a bunch of patches and models on his desk. Seems legit.

Still the best piece of fan work.

Precedence. Found guilty of assault with a weapon in Ontario.

The RCAF could get their TAPV.

Brigade G5s are generally filled by JCSP qualified majors. The concept is that AOC trains officers to operate as staff in Bde and Div HQs and to lead staff in Unit and Bde HQs while the new qualification will target select individuals to lead staff in Div and higher HQs. While the Manoeuvre...

Yes, in general, because it's not a question of armour rating, as in close range anything can be destroyed, even a HAPC. So, the real answer is "depends on the threat" - when the principal threat to dismounts transitions from taking steady attrition from direct and indirect fires to dying in...

The Blue Jays beat themselves. If they would have run the bases properly in the bottom of the 9th, they would have beat the call at home. Poor decision making cost them the title. It's too bad, as they were generally the better team throughout the World Series.
