I wasn't trying to list sof units. I was attempting to point out "shock" capable units. As for size and equipment I'm not sure the size of any of these units. But Canada is not capable of keeping up with the size of the first three countries mentioned. The difference between the units IMO (will...

Well I don't see this happening ("shock infantry") I think there is proof of concept but only in militaries that can afford it. USA (Rangers, maybe marines, airborne) England (paras, commandos) France (marines, some para regiments) Dutch (marines... Not sure if they are sf or not?) However...

Australia only picks certain trades and ranks with certain age requirements on some of those. It's the "What are you going to do for us mentality", that said. It's the right kind of mentality unfortunately shared by would be recruits.

Not sure how legitimate this may be http://www.indiandefencereview.com/spotlights/is-nazi-china-emerging/4/ Is a Nazi China Emerging? "Only by using special means to “clean up” America will we be able to lead the Chinese people there. This is the only choice left for us. This is not a matter...

New U.S. weapons have China worried When the United States carried out a successful test recently of an advanced high-speed, long-range weapon ostensibly designed to reduce U.S. reliance on nuclear arms in a crisis, it set alarm bells ringing in China. Far from reassuring Beijing, the May 1...

That was my point, sorry if my sarcasm didn't come across. No coolness is not a factor. I had no idea as to the acquisition of the TAPV, which would be a preferred method of travel on made roads. It looks heavy though does it fit on a c-130? If so how many. I like open top concept for what...

Like I said dreaming But we still don't have a vehicle for light infantry battalions recce member to deploy in. Thus the tire laden pick up trucks, which is much cooler than the panhard.

It is open top allowing for much more visibility, yet has mine protection. It is C-130 transportable. Has a 360 mount, capable of carrying 5 soldiers... How about a link...

Yea I know, but I wasn't aware of the language thing being on here yet. Just trying to help any future people out.

There is a lack of suitable vehicle in the Canadian light infantry battalions. No more sending recce pl to ride around in tire laden pick up trucks in the early days of our next op. Problem solved : Panhard VPS 4x4 I know Im dreaming

Warning: Breathing life into topic Update: Whilst travelling in the states I met some Rangers who were on leave. We obviously drank together since we had something in common (military service). There's was definitely more colorful and that intrigued me. So it came up that I should join the...

I got out of the army about 2 years ago. Tried my hand at some things never really enjoyed any of it. I loved the army just couldn't handle the stupidity of certain individuals that occupied senior ranks. I have recently reapplied (stupid people are everywhere) may as well get a chance to deploy...
