    Informing the Army’s Future Structure

    In the late 1990s we had COs who referred to the "Light" Bns (which they weren't) as equipment deficient Bns (which they probably were...but trying very hard to be something else and likely succeeding with time).

    BC Murders / MB Manhunt of Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky

    Yup.  Agreed.  This would also have been over 10 years ago, and a lot of training was being done to bring up those green skills.

    BC Murders / MB Manhunt of Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky

    In one of my "purple" jobs, I had an RCMP Inspector, ERT guy, who worked for me.  He used to say to me "Hey Boss, cops don't go where the big trees grow", referencing the difficulties RCMP ERT had in the green vice urban environment.  They have their work cut out for them on this one in the...

    Probe of soldier's suicide reveals hazing, harassment, fight club at Wpg armoury

    Class Action Suit against NVC & "Govt has no obligation to soldiers"

    Agreed completely.  Not unhappy that it is unlikely my two sons will ever be joining. Loyalty and "unlimited liability" should be two way streets.  Not the case anymore. Not the Canadian Forces I joined almost 35 years ago, and served in for almost 33 years.

    We had good individual augmentation in the early to mid  '90s from Reserve units who had a "Mortar Task", but I would have wanted a lot of work up for full mortar dets and especially MFC, Fire data calculations and FSCC.

    Assault Pioneers & Assault Troopers (engineer light of the Inf & Armd)

    Given that Pioneers and especially Mortars were some of the most dangerous things we used to do in an Infantry Bn, I would be very leery of  penny packeting this capability at a section level, with augmentation to come from the Reserves.  There were lots of mortar accidents back in the day. ...
