Armoured Regiments don't have Battalions, they have Regiments. For example, 1st Regiment, Fort Garry Horse.

If you are referring to the Voltigeurs de Québec, they do have a number of Battle Honours. Are you implying that they are merging English speaking units that are mostly from outside Quebec, with French Speaking units? I would really like to see the justification for amalgating the South...

Let me see if I'm tracking everything according the new plan 86,000 Regular Force 100,000 PRes 300,000 Mobilization Res Canadian Rangers CIC/COATS That's like half a million people. With the authorized since of the PRes increasing by 400%, I wonder if we are going to see any units come off...

Highland and Lowland regiments.

I don't think that the government would touch that with a ten foot pole. A certain parade comes to mind.

So it's essentially the same as the Territorial Battalion Groups that we have now.

Has it actually been in the system that long? How has it not been thrown out?

I thought this was funny. The poster is accusing the person in the picture of stolen valour because they are wear the green CadPat rain jacket over the new uniform. Sadly this isn't the first time I've seen this. Consider that the MT rain jacket doesn't exist yet, I'll hold out on calling SVC.

I'm starting to feel that the whole purpose of the PRes is going to shift to solely training and maintaining the MRes.

I don't know how other brigades are doing, but with the current op tempo, we are basically at our LOE with instructors just to cover the courses we are running now. I can't image the staff that it would require to run 300,000 people through a five day training cycle each year.

So is the pattern changing again, or just the cut of the uniform?

Didn't we just get new combat uniforms?

St John Ambulance. John the Baptist never owned an ambulance.

I mean, who's actually wearing perfume in combat?

So, who is going to train all these people?
