Somehowm no matter how I read it it comes out as insulting.
What? Why would growing out footprint in Asia require us to shrink our footprint in Europe?
NORAD and Space stuff come to mind.(On a more serious note, for a military our size, we really do take on a lot… i’m sure there are a few things that I forgot in my above post that we also do.)
“I can confirm that we will be committing additional troops to that endeavour in Latvia as we move to brigade level,” Anand said. “The precise number of troops will depend on the other complimentary contributions that the other member countries will be making.”
I lumped that in with the ‘national defence stuff’ - but good call.NORAD and Space stuff come to mind.
I separated it because there are plenty of CAF folks doing the NORAD and Space missions in various parts of the US.I lumped that in with the ‘national defence stuff’ - but good call.
To bad we didn't get two more C17's and be able to rotate the fleet to keep flight hours down.I lumped that in with the ‘national defence stuff’ - but good call.
I did forget to mention both our strategic & tactical airlift fleets assisting UN Forces throughout the world, 2 being forward deployed currently to assist with Ukrainian stuff, etc
(Just incase we weren’t busy enough)

Did not the commander of the mission just state we could do away, quite handly, with the russians?From this I take it that the existing eFP Battlegroup will be expanded to a full eFP Brigade but the exact Canadian contribution to that will depend on what the other member nations agree to contribute to the formation.
Ironically there is a shortage of staff officers, particularly at project offices.No shortage of staff officers to lead HQs.

Until they send the tanks, I'm not diving into the hype.
Maybe trudeau is just trying to change the message again to deflect from all his malfeasance. Then again, he's always making promises he has no intention of fulfilling. For him, it's just a big PR plan with no substance.
RIGA, Latvia - The Canadian officer commanding a NATO battle group in Latvia says Russian forces would be routed if they dared launch an attack against Canadian troops and their allies stationed in the Baltic country on Russia's western border.
"I think we'd win by a fair margin," Lt.-Col. Jesse van Eijk, head of the Enhanced Forward Presence Latvia battle group, said in an interview Wednesday.
Exactly, also what do people realistically expect him to say? “Yes troops were here to get rolled over”FFS, people here and on CAF Reddit are misreading the article. He says that the NATO battle group would win, not just the CAF contribution to it.

To be fair he is talking about the current Russian Army.I like his confidence.
He must be in the process of handing over and going on to a stellar upwards career move, well away from the front line![]()
I'll give you my answer, because you decided to call me out.FFS, people here and on CAF Reddit are misreading the article. He says that the NATO battle group would win, not just the CAF contribution to it.
