I was chatting with my boss the other day and were talking about OP FOR for armoured exercises and the way that SHQ's lav's will one minute be friendly, and the next we're being criticized for not picking up on the "BTR" in the tree's. Back in the 90's the School of Armour in Puckapunyal used a...

Just a quick one, I'm wondering wat you Canucks go for with your weapons. I mean clearly the M-16 but do you use minimi's, Mag 58's, .30 cals etc. I'm coming to Canada on friday, hopefully to go on exchange with RCD. People probably know this but we Aussies use the Austeyr of a few different...

G'day folks, I'm Trooper Hale and I'm AFV driver in the Australian army. I'm coming to Canada for 6 months and am trying to get an email address that i can get in contact with the Royal Canadian Dragoons and get the details so I can go on exchange. I'd really appreciate anyone who could help me...
