TF 1-06 Reserve Employment Opp's....

[cbt arms sub tech]

Anyone know of many reserve opportunities that may exist for TF1-06 overseas, with most of the units being stood down due to summer training at respective camps, i.e. Camp Wainwright & Gagetown...Part of LFWA, although I'm not presently working due to full time work commitment's, wondering if opportunities are occuring but wondering if the unit chain of command contacts you during the summer?

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thats what I've been hearing, sometimes you wonder how much info gets down to the troops though?  Especially throughout the summer with alot of staff being away on course?

Guessing isn't going to help.

The fact of the matter is that they're still sorting out manning for the mission.  The organization is a developing beast, complicated by a variety of multi-national concerns.  Looking at the tea leaves, I wouldn't expect anything to filter down over the summer, although a "planning" organization currently exists.  I am not sure if they're using it for anything but putting senior names to positions, though.  Individual tasks typically come later in the planning cycle.

Gunner, who is closer to this than I am these days, may have something more useful to add.

Cheers,

The manning conference was held over the last couple of days in Edmonton.  Positions should be out on the street shortly.  Make sure your chain of command (whatever exists during the summer) knows that you are interested and are available on short notice. 

cbt arms sub tech - didn't you post this question previously?

We were told we would have roughly two PLs of reserves working out of our building around the end of Aug today, but as Gunner has said it had no specific TOE(that we knew of).

 

[Gunner]

In the absence of direction from NDHQ, we have leaned forward based on managed readiness.  41 CBG is providing a D&S Pl and has the lead on filling CIMIC and PSYOPS positions for TF 1-06.  There are many, many other positions that need to be filled by other LFWA formations, army formations (mainly specialist) and particularly the Comm Res.

Having said that, MJP is quite correct about the lack of a TO&E causing difficulties...

Sorry, but what does D&S Platoon, an TOE Stand for?

Perhaps flush your profile out a bit more -- and what exactly is a Cbt Arms Sub Tech?

 

[Tpr.Orange]

what is TF 1- 06?

 

[silentbutdeadly]

its basically, the new term for Cbt tm for rotation on missions, meaning Task Force 1 of the year 2006. There has been a change already i think that has the name going backl to Combat team 1-06 correct if i am wrong anyone out there?

 

[ImanIdiot]

I'm going to assume that there isn't anything outside of the D&S pl for the R031s in LFWA...

 

[KevinB]

Nope TF 1-06 refers to the 1VP BattleGroup Op Archer Roto 0

From my understanding the TF #ing is just to make management easier.  :  It can either be a Bn Based BattleGroup or a Coy based Cbt Team (Inf or Armour heavy)

I guess it gives a set piece for those in TF 2-6 or Surge 06 to know where they stand in line for deployments...

You are wrong.  Cbt Tm refers to a sub unit grouping (it is an inf coy and a armd sqn).  BG refers to a unit (bn/regt) sized combined arms grouping.  A TF refers to an organization put together for a mission (and it could be any size).  Our typical TFs consist of a BG plus national command and support elements.  However, a TF could also be a Bde or a Coy Gp.

i just comfirmed with my higher that the name has changed to BG 1-06 instead of TF and the reason being is because we are ( 1PPCLI) are supplying the HQ. So if i am wrong this time, so for being in the know! :threat:

 

[silentbutdeadly]

and thx for the lesson on  a Cbt tm :blotto:

Down at my end it is the multiple TO&Es causing problem.   TO&E 'A' is supported by the unit & is being pushed up at some level (but is based on a vehicle that will not leave Canada: M113A3 & MTVE).   TO&E 'B' is being pushed down from somewhere else and it has us deploying in a vehicle that has not yet reached production.   Neither are compatable and there are entire specialist sections that appear only in one or the other, but we have to put names to both.    . . . and, depending on the vehicle used overseas, both may be missing critical positions.    :
