Seen. Agreed.



Fair.



Agreed




Batting a thousand here.



I agree with the comments about the 30 shops. That is why I agree with using them for the drones.

In genetic terms we are looking at a mutation event. Ukraine and the terrorists are the mutagen. We need a bunch of different mutants so we can let natural selection take its course.

Wrt the Roshel situation I was thinking of down-selecting a couple from the 30.

I really do wonder if Roshel could provide a sort of 21st century CMP for us. We have a long history of converting OTS chassis and motors into highly dependable and successful military vehicles. Lots of roles can be filled with those sorts of vehicles as long as scope creep is kept to a minimum and we arent using them as shitty IFVs.

We do a version of this. And boy is it fun to see how mad people get.

Pump up the jam!

For the first time, the Canadian Space Aggressor Team from 7 Space Operations Squadron conducted Global Positioning System jamming during Exercises REFLEXE RAPIDE and MAPLE RESOLVE, the Canadian’s Army’s largest training exercise.

You do not need to use the force to be a deterrent -- but you have to have the availability of that force.

For example: XVIII Airborne Corps -- lets face it the likelihood of 82nd ABN doing a Div jump into combat supported by 11th ABN, and the 101st Air Assault/Airmobility is really low these days. However it gives a rapid ability for us to project ground forces into an AO with Joint Forcible Entry.

The CA sending a BG doesn't really project much other than weakness and lack of resolve.

At 3.5% the CA definitely can have the ability to have a Corps and deploy a Div on a rotational basis, and should be able to field a Field Army of 3 Corps on Mobilization.

... or a platoon.
