You'd be surprised.

Are they serving with the CAF or under the command of a CAF organization?

Huzzah! A welcome change. Our current uniform is a poor cut, an uninspiring look, and a terrible colour. When you wear the uniform next to some allied countries, you realize how bad the "1978 NDHQ extra in Saturday Night Fever" look is. I hope the end state results in better comfort and...

Which points? You typed a lot of words laced with many erroneous assumptions, so I'm not tracking what you are asking.

Have you seen the managed readiness plan and are you aware of how it is structured and what it says? I ask because I think you are reading way too much into what the MRP really is, and your comments about it are wrong. The MRP does not mean that 2/3 of Army is "unready." All Army units do...

Most staff officers in brigade are not AOC qualified (I'd say about 10-25 percent). AOC is really designed to train the leaders within the staff at all levels, from a Bn to a national HQ. That being said, using it as a promotion control for Reserve personnel seems foolish, as they should be...

I personally find the "warrior" concept can be cheesy, especially as marketed by the Americans, but it can be useful if done right. I can appreciate where an idea of a "warrior ethos" is used by leaders to try and promote resiliency in soldiers, especially combat arms soldiers. For those who...

Something like this appears to be a sign of the self-importance one assigns to oneself....:unsure:

What is "precision urban combat?" That's a shame. I've done all of them, and they can be done in places like Wainwright with a little extra work. What you are speaking to is a failure in imagination, not in CA training objectives or design.

Urban warfare is not black magic, despite some figures trying to turn it into such a thing. It is not a "different type" of warfare either. Success in an urban engagement is achieved through the same tactics as in other forms of complex terrain. And it does not favor "light forces" -...

Canada is not a nation state. We don't define our nationhood by shared ethnic background, religion, or language. I guess this evolved from that 18th century decision you pointed at where the British would "live and let live" with the French-speaking Canadiens. It started a trend or an ideal that...

This thread is epic.

Who is Elvis? I don't see him on Instagram....

Haven't seen any of his TikToks. Was this guy for real?

Who is that? Never heard of him.

I believe one observer got it right when they said "we may not know what this means, but the intended audience of the CCP knows what this means." This was not a surprise.

Wow. This seems important. Cracks in the Party?

Launching a company into a counterattack vs a battalion has the advantage of timeliness. It's far easier to get a sub-unit moving on an objective in a chaotic situation than it is a full unit. When timeliness is of the essence, a smaller element now is better than a larger element too late.

Yes.

...and a late war Panzer Division generally fought two Kampfgruppe built off its Panzer Regiment and its Infantry Regiment. You seeing a trend here?
