    COCOM Realignment

    Its being billed as a way to reduce GOFO ranks, specifically 4* positions, but some of those positions are not reducable based on the scope of the command - e.g. SACEUR/EUCOM Comd can't be reduced to a 3*.

    COCOM Realignment

    Consider it akin to the making of the DotComs, or the smashing of all of them into CJOC, but with a superpower and not a small military like ours. Combatant Commanders are at times referred to as Proconsuls due to the influence they wield in their respective regions - an Ambassador is...

    COCOM Realignment

    Caught this. If this goes down, it represents a generational shift in how the US organizes and commands its global operations.

    Yes. The CDS and DM signed off the new DND/CAF language policy a few weeks back. Highlights: By 2030: All officers - BBB (Col/Capt and above remain CBC) All essential MOSIDs (essential MOSIDs are HRA, FSA, Posties, all med trades, dental assistants, MPs, and SAR Techs) - BBB All WOs/PO1s and...

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    The report is pretty damning of the Sgt and WO who conducted the investigation, particularly the WO who appeared to discard evidence to the contrary.

    The article is overly complementary towards the Ukrainians.

    IND courts uphold release of Christian officer who refused temple church parade

    Top one is a good article. It's not secularism, but rather officers are expected to participate in religious ceremonies of their troops, regardless of their own religion (eg a Hindu officer will fast with his Muslim soldiers during Ramadan). Religion is a collective activity in the Indian Armed...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Not necessarily - I can see the requirement to FG personnel for bespoke joint organizations that are deployed abroad. Lets get above the level of a few personnel posted to a ship.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I believe it will handle Force Development for purple capabilities just as the "services" do their own FD. Just as force generating a fighter capability or a ground based long range strike capability is overseen by RCAF or CA FD organizations, now the FD for joint functions will not be ad hoc...
