Might have been close to being possible as only about 50% of Canadian military personnel deployed vs 75% in our allied countries. If we had deployed the same numbers as the Americans and Australians we likely could have seen 7/8 divisions and an additional armored brigade. By the end of the war...

Sounds like validation for 2 Mech and 1 Light Infantry battalion per brigade to me!/s

I wouldnt worry about this too much. This concept has yet to be initiated and is mainly just newspeak to deal with the lack of LAV 2 Coyote replacement which affects the regular force. Reserve armored units have a number of sub roles assigned to units but are doing largely the same DP1 they did...

I think you gotta play the language/population game a bit. It blows having to be shoe horned into it but due to the weak representation in the Navy and less so the RCAF you army needs to carry the difference of having units and bases in which Francophones can serve. Arguably you also need to...

I think like the CP-140 we will likely end up with the refit complete and F-35s start coming in at the same time.

The material and colour are pretty annoying as I'd like to be able to find a better quality shirt with the same colour for those one or two times a year but its impossible.

Hasn't the RCN already indicated that the new class will be destroyers due to their tonnage and armaments?

Wait till I tell you about the senior "leaders" in the Reg Force lol

Having read the notes this seems to be a great example of the CA getting the space to do something and doing it well.

Still a huge fall from the Territorial Army of the Cold War which didnt include the reserves.

I believe the NATO requirement is along the lines of those police being a federal institution and trained/armed so to conduct section level operations. But even then the Gendarmie and Carbinari are very different organizations that include fully formed military units.

11 weekends usually running Oct to Feb or Jan to Apr. Full time BMQ with the reserves is 5 weeks but thats just me being pedantic.

Nearly all PRes trades can be completed in one summer with BMQ if you are available from May to August. I do believe that the Artillery has brought back a sorta BMQ Land so it is now something like 4 weeks. Still the shortest however but you should really base your trade off of what you want to...

Some people here may find this interesting (though it seems like wishful thinking on the Netherlands part). https://www.orbat85.nl/ It shows both the peacetime and wartime structure of the Netherlands military in 1985. This includes mobilization and collapsing of support/training commands into...

Why build off the LAV 6 chassis into a tracked vehicle when the US already looked at it years ago and didnt like it? As many have mentioned on here the LAV 6 chassis is at its limits and it also doesnt have the right profile for an IFV.

It is on the cheaper side

So am I reading correctly here that there are little to no dismounts in the Assault system?
