    The War in Ukraine

    Yeah, unless you're using it as an information strategy and intend to sucker-punch the target. I'd had a vague hope at least some of the F-16 delay was a lie, for example, and that a suitable moment would be found for a live reveal.

    CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

    Was thinking of providing support to the not-PAFOs, on top of carrying on the "sell the CAF" and film/video creation work, and having that group separate from the one whose members get to deal with the fallout when S2 Bloggins posts something obnoxious.

    CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

    Time for a split within the trade? A "promotion and communication facilitator" stream to support (not control, notably) non-PAff people in getting their word (images, videos, whatever) to the world and to handle the non-reactive (or non-crisis, at least) side of things (backgrounders, website...

    Replacing the Subs

    Could see that impression taking hold given OP IMPACT. Whatever the Auroras were doing there, it wasn't ASW.

    CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

    Almost feels like the older style of "release" needs to return, as the second step for everything that's not Instragram (would be lovely if they'd give up and allow links in post text...). Get all the material about whatever in the same place, either within the page or one click deep. Might take...

    CAN Enhanced (Permanent?) Fwd Presence in Latvia

    Which suggests a need to present a thousand genuine faces telling their, their unit's, and by extension the CAF's story, in an engaging and relatable way. There's definitely a gaping hole in place of the old mass-distribution internal material. While the CAF app and the online Maple Leaf have...

    Replacing the Subs

    Would imagine something with a "combatant" armament*, plus AOPS-level icebreaking capability, plus whatever other capabilities are unique to the AOPS, would be on the large and power-hungry side. *Assuming it's Arctic-focused, this would mean - what - an ASW suite sufficiently robust that it'll...

    The War in Ukraine

    I wonder just how much of the noise from Russia a little while back about officially designating the occupied territories as part of Russia was driven by that sort of internal game.

    Infantry Vehicles

    Beyond the shovel-and-C4 realm, and setting aside airborne units, does that look more or less the same whether it's supporting light, medium, or heavy?

    Infantry Vehicles

    Question: someone mentioned lines of communication. How rough should those vehicles be able to handle? Even in BC, there's a pretty quick, steep dropoff from "paved road" to "the bulldozer followed the goat."

    A Deeply Fractured US

    Given the lack of real impact the fine is likely to have, thoughts on why it wasn't straight to cells?

    CDS General Eyre announces retirement

    That is probably the second-worst (first is management wanting the vibe of a full office) reason to opt for in-person. If you were pick a compelling reasons in favour of WFH, enormously reducing the entire commuting and workday infrastructure, public and private, is right up there.

    The War in Ukraine

    Missiles aside, what's the bottleneck? Electronics and sensors?

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    Copy. Ideal route as in "how the current system is meant to work," or "probably the best way to do it?" And I absolutely meant bait for the hypothetical recruit! Noted. Got it. Wasn't sure if certain singular or small-department shipboard roles were intentionally filled with people who'd...

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    Certainly. Just batted that out as a very tidy option for bait. Running with the idea of incentives, when does Logistician Bloggins (clerk, met, cook, firefighter, PA, whatever) get their first posting identified, and would there be an easy way to ID and incentivize people in those trades to go...
