3 Canadian Support Unit

[Gorgo]

Quick question:  Can anyone explain anything about what 3 CSU in Montréal does?  I know it's a part of CANOSCOM, but there's no unit website or anything like that.

Logistical support to deployed operations.

So it's a combination transport and supply depot right?  I know 202 Workshop Depot handles the EME requirements, so 3 CSU handles the LOG end of the spectrum, right?

No.

as you can see, 202 does not belong to CANOSCOM and thus does not handle operational EME-related issues. 202 belongs to DGLEPM and is 3rd and 4th line overhaul for land forces equipment.

No, that's not it.  What you linked to is the command and support unit for 5 ASG, which is part of LFC/LFQA.

3 Canadian Support Unit is a CANOSCOM formation based in Montréal that is totally different.

But that's why I quoted the goods bits that seemingly answer his original question.

Very cool unit, if you like going weird and wonderful places and setting up contracts and landing rights in 15 different languages.


And Vern....you should alert a mod, you've been hacked. Your avatar has some horrible looking graffiti on it..... ;D

I did a 3 month tasking with 3 CSG as it was then. Good unit. Was one of my posting preferences until I was posted to CFJSR this August.

As Wookilar said if you want to deploy, ALLOT, and do some interesting stuff as a loggie this is probably a good way to go about it.

No worries ... I enjoyed myself quite fine thank you.

Near beer, beer, near beer, beer, near beer, near beer ...

Good day to be Canadian. I behaved so well that I ended up chatting with 6 other site members throughout the festivities as they picked me out of the crowd ... the entertainment was excellent. I also need to put out there that I was serving pizzas - 500 of them!! Big thanks to the United States' initiative "Pizza for Patriots" ( http://www.pizzas4patriots.com/ ) that saw thousands of pizzas being sent over here for the US troops of which, General Petraeus graciously sent 500 our way for us Canadians to enjoy!! They went over very well and certainly did not lend well to my weight-loss-by-lack-of-water-consumption plan.


Gawd, that's an awesome avtar pic I have ...

Vern, thanks very much for the information.  I saw the unit listed as part of CANOSCOM, but didn't understand what it actually did.
