CAF Security Forces [Split from RCN Anti Drone Weapon]

Only option is to take all those foreign students and make a Foreign Legion of security guards.

There's a precedent for that

Hmm…a CFL, training base in Wainwright…5 years service then citizenship…

Do they have to learn both official languages too? Can I sign up?

Please try to keep up: Asian = "New whites" So you don't qualify. Your own damn fault for not staying downtrodden and getting ahead by hard work and sacrifice.

Now now... don't denigrate Asians like that

Above-average educational attainment among many Asian populations​

Many Asian populations attained a bachelor’s degree or higher at rates that were well above the national average of 32.9%. Over half of the Korean, Chinese, South Asian and West Asian populations and over 40% of the Arab, Japanese and Filipino populations had a bachelor’s degree or higher (Chart 1).

In most cases, this high educational attainment was consistent across genders and generations. Among each of these seven groups, the share with a bachelor’s degree or higher was over 40% among both first- and second-generation women and men, except for first-generation (39.8%) and second-generation (29.9%) Filipino men. It was also over 40% among the third-generation-or-more Japanese and Chinese populations, though it was lower among third-generation-or-more South Asian people (26.3%).

I’m actually surprised it’s that low.

Perrin Beatty 1987

Right then. Righter now.












Summary of Intent -

Canadian Rangers - Continue
Special Service Force - Replace
Territorial Brigades - Task and Equip Properly (Reserves)
Vital Point Guards - Create and Equip Properly (Reserves - Minimally Trained - up to 90,000 of them planned)
Northern Training Centre

I would take 2nd and 5th Brigades and remodel them on the Special Service Force structure and form them into a separate Division tasked to Joint Task Force North, along with Canadian Rangers Patrol Group 1. Allied to US 11th Abn Div.

Keep in mind that Perrin's Reserves were to be equipped with 1000 Bv206s and 200 Bison APCs.

A 1987 study on Vital Point protection

Good read. Little has changed.

Problems identifying what are Vital Points.
Who is responsible for protecting them.
Owners; Private Corporations; Municipal, Provincial and Federal Police; Canadian Forces (Regular and Reserve); Private security; Contract security.
What threats.
When.
Peace, Emergency, War.
Apathy.
Access to useful intelligence in Canada from federal agencies, intelligence that is readily available in the UK and the US.

Preliminary estimate base on incomplete data suggested 19,000 VP guards could be put to use for the duration of an emergency. Still looking for the reference but my recollection was that Beatty called for a force 5 times that size. The training standard would be that established by the RCMP for special or auxiliary constables - about 10 days to create a static guard.

Aerial threats were explicitly outside the realm of the 1987 study.

The same study was already discussing the threat moving past gun and bomb sabotage to computers, electronic warfare and propaganda psyops.

....

2024-1987 = 37 years of slumber.

We mashed the ignore button on the alarm and went back to sleep.

US Army and US Air Force and Base Defense.

'Everybody's going to have to figure this out': Army, Air Force debate base defense amid new threats - Breaking Defense

Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall recently suggested his service could take over the task of defending its air bases from the Army, as long as adequate funding was provided.

breakingdefense.com

WASHINGTON — When President-elect Donald Trump’s new defense secretary takes the reins of the Pentagon next year, they may quickly be faced with an internal debate to settle: whether the Army should continue with its traditional role of providing defenses for air bases, or whether the Air Force steps up to the task on its own.

At the core of the issue is not only the capabilities brought to the fight by each service, but how they will be funded. The Army has traditionally been charged with defending air bases, which is part of the reason why systems like Patriot and THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) reside under the service’s control. But tepid investment during the Global War on Terror years, alongside the proliferation of missile threats from China and Russia, has led Air Force officials to begin openly grumbling that they feel the Army can’t, or won’t, make air base defense a priority — and that a change may be due.

I'll see you Base Defence and raise you Close Air Support.

....

“People keep saying, ‘Why isn’t the Army defending our air bases?’ And the answer is, there is nowhere near enough missile defense capacity for everything we need to defend. That is true of air bases, and true of lots of other kinds of bases, it’s true in Ukraine, in Israel — it’s not just the Air Force assets that need tons more help, it’s everything,” Karako said.

....

Just did a quick take on the RRCA from their Regimental site and decided to count batteries rather than regiments.

Came up with 40 Reserve batteries and 15 Regular batteries. How many of those could be turned into Air Defence batteries?
