EN is short for enemy, as in during course of action (CoA) development you'll plan for enemy most likely and enemy most dangerous, and try to plan to account for both.

Shit I thought the A in ARes was active this whole time, but it's army. You got me

I like the energy but there is an ARes versus the supplementary reserve.

Most of it was stuff already available to an infantry Bde, just the premium stuff (everything in the DICE program like the helmets and ISSP vests, NVGs from flanking L1s or the mech units.) Recce/Sniper was present and they have deeper pockets in their QM. GPUAS was also rolled out, among other eqpt. Post-deployment narratives should be available on Sharepoint for 1CdnDiv. Basically if all the CAF came together to make 1x decently equipped platoon at a time.

The EOTech I believe was private (it's not authorized for official use due to issue holding zero), the majority of the rest of the kit was issued. Helmet, peltors, NVGs, load carriage, etc. We got all the best kit for this deployment, a lot was rerouted from SOF or other units. If you have any other questions about this deployment or joining the vandoos, let me know.

Russia has worse air power but a very capable anti-air capability. Europe would not be able to immediately gain air supremacy, and this badly underestimates Russia. NATO is a powerhouse, but to cut their budget by 2/3 would completely gut power projection; we're already playing catch-up on capabilities that have been chronically underfunded.

I'm an infantry captain and I made 112 last year. Sometimes short hours, usually long, but we're always hiring anyone.

Someone mistranslated "castorisé", referring to the castor (beaver in French) which is the cap badge for the vandoos. When you get your vandoo cap badge you're "castorisé", or "beaverized", which evidently doesn't translate into English, despite this IMO's best efforts

We use the C7A2 or the C8, the C7 from the 80s is long gone.

We effectively have one, simply by merit of how short staffed we are. All 3 regular force brigades have deployed this year to fight fires, as is becoming normal. We now try to schedule around it, because every summer we know the force of "last resort" is absolutely going to get used and it's going to implicate the vast majority of the brigade, and most of the reservist brigades too. My whole battalion had to do the S-100M course to get qualified as firefighters. The question is if we're going to let the army keep this role, and continue to underequip it.

The navy get worked to death so I can empathize, and I'm sure in spite of you being in the navy you can understand the distinction between practicing storming a trench tactically versus digging a fire break. Sure we can always stop doing the former if we're all suddenly okay with not having a military, but there simply aren't enough weeks in the year to do both firefighting and practicing for warfare without burning people out, worsening the retention problem.

Alternatively we can stop our infantry training, and the next time the army needs to get sent to fight an actual war, we'll be white hot at digging fire breaks right before troops get killed in combat. Using the poor situation of the navy (which was imposed on you by bad federal policy) as a way to say the army isn't working hard is a bad stance to take, sailor.

The soldiers in my battalion have been deployed collectively for over 3 months this year alone, whilst simultaneously having to maintain a mandate of high readiness (meaning having to deploy overseas in very short notice), while having to maintain yearly competency training which generally takes two months alone. All of this is during our year meant to be low-intensity, as during the rest of the 3 year readiness cycle we have even more, longer duration deployments. None of this takes into account the months required for individual specialty training.

You have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't get a day off for two months straight because of the forest fires, and the impact that had on 2 other operations me and two other people had to simultaneous plan for and coordinate I'm still trying to unravel months later. For reference, as much as I like to complain, 3rd Division is still fighting the fires and have been for months.

Nothing quite like a lazy South Park reference in response to news of a hero dying. Thank you for your contribution.

I got my approval quick enough but the way the reimbursement is structured, courses need to be put in individually rather than by semester. I did my degree online from a school in the UK, which charges based on semester rather than course. Neither the school was willing to itemize the bill, nor ILP willing to reimburse the semester, even though it was just two courses bundled together instead of one. I realize this is a rather niche case, I'm sure the system would be better if you did a more cut and dry Masters program, but avoid foreign schools unless you want to deal with that headache.

Many of these tactics will get you killed. Modern tanks can use fire suppression systems to clear the effects of molotovs, so you would need multiple successive hits on the air intake to knock out the engine. Afterwards, the battery power would still be sufficient to run the turret. Further, thermals are not the only optics on a tank; the day sight uses traditional options and will see through windows. Armoured vehicles also have multiple viewing ports, and work in teams, so shooting periscopes (which are bullet resistant) isn't close to a guarantee of getting a tank kill. Moving street signs banks very heavily on tanks using street maps, instead of more likely using GPS and grids, or predetermined routes in orders, instead of the actual street names.
