    Domestic Terrorism/Public Attacks on CAF Personnel

    Please allow me to express my sincerest condolences to the family of the serviceman who lost his life in this senseless and cowardly act. :cdnsalute:  I have to say it's a sad world we live in when those put on a uniform to defend the rest of us have to be banned from wearing uniforms in public.

    Decommissioning announcement 19 Sep 2014 - 2x Destroyers and 2 x AOR

    OK I must admit that I'm just learning that SCSC has now been replaced by CSC but whatever the latest acronym is for the future surface combatants, they are still taking too bloody long to come off of the drawing board.

    Russia's Mistral class LHDs: updates

    Looking at the comments on this thread it's apparent that I'm not the only one who's been thinking that Canada should buy at least one of these ships.

    Decommissioning announcement 19 Sep 2014 - 2x Destroyers and 2 x AOR

    While the AOR's and the Iroquois Class destroyers were certainly scheduled and in some cases overdue for retirement, the problem I have with this is that the replacements aren't even under construction yet.  Successsive governments knew the expiration of the service lives of these ships was...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    Thanks Brihard, you've answered my question as to what slot a PRes Armoured Officer fills on an overseas deployment.  Thankfully, commanding a platoon tasked to convoy escort allows him/her to execute one of the armoured/cavalry roles they were trained for in an operational theatre.  Just one...

    Divining the right role, capabilities, structure, and Regimental System for Canada's Army Reserves

    So here's a related question.  A commissioned officer in a PRes Armour Regiment; for intance, an Lt., volunteers for an overseas combat deployment, say Afghanistan.  Seeing as how he would have been trained to command a completely different type of vehicle than his Reg Force counterparts, what...

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    What Kirkhill suggests is exactly what I had in mind.  A version of the TAPV for the Reserves with many of the bells and whistles removed.

    grenade launcher vs. cannon

    Forgive me if this question has been asked before but I've been wondering, what are the relative advantages and disadvantages of a cannon compared to a grenade launcher?  For example, an armoured vehicle equipped with a 40 mm cannon as opposed to one equipped with a 40 mm grenade launcher?

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    The quoted text below is on the website of the South Albert Light Horse Association, on their equipment page.  As it has been said by some here on Army.ca that the Reserves are not likely to get the TAPV, is this wishful thinking on the part of SALH, have they been misinformed or do they know...

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    A related question, what opportunities are there for armour soldiers and officers in the reserves to train on the vehicles used by the regular force (apart from overseas deployments as individual augmentees)?

    Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

    Just a question, as this vehicle is supposed to replace some of the G-Wagons, will reserve units in the RCAC be equipped with it as well?

    F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF)

    Ok, while I'm all for competitive bidding, some politicians need to educate themselves before they speak.  I'd like NDP Defence Critic Jack Harris to explain which other stealth aircraft is out there that can be an alternative to the F-35.  Unless I've been living under a rock I don't know of...

    Osama Bin Laden Dead

    Kudos to the triggerman and the team for sure :salute: however let's not be biased.  I doubt very much you'd be so critical if the speech was by GWB.  The call to use Special Forces instead of an airstrike could not have been an easy one to make.  The Commander-in-Chief considered the pros and...
