I would guess this discussion has likely happen after every conflict and will continue to do so after the next conflict. Yes on a micro level, we were essential doing the same aspects of operations in Normandy compared Kandahar but were we doing them as well as we should have? I am not saying...

What are your experiences? Were have we improved at? What have we failed at to learn?

From my experience, joint air-land integration, medical, logistics and convoy ops to name a few. It depends on when you were in Afghanistan, over the last 10 years a lot has changed and lessons we take for granted in 2009/10 were not there in 2002. There has to be a balance between the...

  I agree that inexperience soldiers and officers will have to relearn those universal lessons again however there are some very key lessons learnt from Afghanistan and previous operations that need to be addressed because they have not looked at before. I do not believe our training system...

You are correct, not every officer is suckholding to the next rank.

We need to take a balance approached to the post Afghanistan reorganization. We should prepare for the next war based of past experiences, doctrine and tactics. We need to think about the issues we have faced over the last few years, and how it mitigate this issues for the next war. I believe...

You have just described every junior officer in the presence of a senior officer in the CF. It is all about face time in front of the command....  look at me "I am important and I am doing something special". This is not just an Int O issue.

Why give the UAV to the arty? Why not Armour? I never understood the though prcoess behind this line of thinking, anyways this is just a quick question before heading to work. More to follow later.

I believe you are correct, this is what I remember.

When was the last time any battalion or regiment ran an TOW course? I would speculate the anti-armour capability for the army is likely dead for the short to middle term. There likely isn't many old school AAP members left in the infantry, most of the guys I know have remustered in other trades...

I believe you will see more focus place on ABCA and the New Zealand in the future. I understand that certain elements of the military are shifting their OUTCAN positions to reflect this change for the 2012 APS.

Or we could fight naked like the Pics or celts use to. It would save us money and maybe force people to get back into shape.

The Inukshuk should go  to 3VP.

He is a qualified Int Op. Yes... you are correct, the media article has several incorrect details.

Yes, I understand that UoS has nothing to do with his performance.

Seems rather impractical of the military to train him as an Int Op and then only to release him shortly after he has completed his course.  Considering the Int branch is under currently under strength at the Cpl/MCpl/Sgt levels, why would the military waste the resources on him? From my...

Sorry, been busy with some real life issues for the last month or so. Technoviking, not sure if you are aware CTS has been replaced with CCTS. Think of CTS but with more enhanced detail on a lot of levels. Tango2Bravo - I agree about the INT cell being a blackhole, I think it is an issue...

Here are my answers to your points Recceguy: a. One area the army is lacking in, is a realistic COEFOR, there are too few soldiers in the training system, the soldiers we have lack the knowledge of the people they are portraying in most aspects. To correct this error in the training system...

Sorry PPLCI guy, are you referring to IT as individual training or information technology? I was referring to IT as information technology, thus maybe the confusing between our posts.

Recceguy I came to my conclusion through years of experience both within the training system and numerous deployments. You are correct from now on I will provide proper footnotes and bibliographies of all facts that I present. I was not aware it was custom on army.ca to go such lengths when...
