I always mix the 2 johns..
Hmm what went wrong the last time the CAF did that.
Do you know definitely there isn't a ship or better a shipping company on contract to provide a ship?
We move stuff by ship all the time. The majority of the initial deployment to Latvia was by ship. Ship resupply was common for the tour even post initial surge and has been used a number of times. The material and equipment for the M777 battery sent in 2017 was all sent by ship
FTFY…
tee hee
Next time we'll send an armed security detachment. "I am the captain, now!"
That got me thinking ''Are there even any Canadian flagged RoRos?'' Might be a bit dodgy to commandeer a Panamanian flagged ship.Next time we'll send an armed escort. "I am the captain, now!"
The larger of the 2 just so happens to be in the St Lawrence heading to Montreal. Size is 210 x 30 m. from the pictures it can have vehicles below and seacans above. Not sure about capacity.
PEI Ferries!

General and Staff...sure...more troops......look way and don't make eye contact.Canada pressed to take on extra NATO defence role in Baltics
"Artis Pabriks, who is also Latvia’s Defence Minister, was in Ottawa Wednesday for meetings with Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Defence Minister Anita Anand"
"Mr. Pabriks said he’s pitched Canada on taking on a second role: joining the command of NATO’s Multinational Division North,..."
“We would like that Canadians join. We trust Canadians,” he said, adding that, ideally, Canada’s military would take on a co-leadership role. He said this commitment would require posting a Canadian general in Riga.
Spokesperson Daniel Minden said: “Canada will be contributing to the Multinational Division North and is currently considering what that contribution would look like.”
Asked about Canada’s defence spending record, Mr. Pabriks said he would not want to criticize Ottawa because his country is extremely grateful for Canadian battle group leadership in Latvia. “On the other hand, if you are a NATO member, we should be ready to spend more.” Latvia has hiked defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP.

It’s really what we bring to the table. My recent CODE training finished with a survey that asked what “L1” I belong to, which I’ve taken as a nice summery of the CAFs major issues.
it's one area where there is no staff shortage
I remember in theatre I was just happy knowing the guns were there if we needed them. Never bothered asking who force generated the gunners.
