    Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

    As per the DLR slides on sharepoint, the FS rifle will have better accuracy, and an effective range at the individual level out to 600m (? I can't remember the number right now, I can check when I am back at work). The GS rifle will be slightly less accurate than the FS, but still more accurate...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    -This initiative is brought to you by the Council of Honourary Colonels Joking aside, I don't think it will be anything related to pay. A couple months ago the CDS stated that details on the pay raise weren't coming until the fall. I think the announcement will be that the government is going...

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    A few things. Cost is number one. If the Forage or Service Cap become a mandatory issued item, the cost of headwear goes up, therefore the budget for service dress uniforms needs to increase, or savings need to be found in other uniform components (gabardine moves from issued to optional...

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Never, except to run IBMG. There's not a lot of them, and they are held exclusively as course resources. The Reg Force inf bns may have better luck getting some for training.

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Not quite, Tables are held at brigade. The unit has SF Kits and C2 sights. We for sure use the SF kits and C2 for famil every year (Mark and lay). But without the tables, we can't do the famil on map and table every year, except for theory lessons. Not sure how they were re-acquired. But I'm...

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    IBMG is a standard course for reserve infantry units. IBMG also includes map and table firing. Most units try to put all their new Pte/Cpls through it.

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    The rumint on this has prompted my first ever post in 3 years of lurking. I have been keeping an eye on this project because I hate the current army service dress and I have had the chance to talk to a couple guys on the project. There is currently no talk of switching berets to any colour...
