Unknown Factor said:I think for the most part the CF is stuck halfway between Bosnia and Afghanistan. It places unrealistic restrictions on movement and when you do have to move off of the 'trace' suddenly you have to take 2 engineers with you. A fine Canadian example of SOP's becoming and controlling doctrine rather than doctrine determining SOP's.
Agree'd....
The current FOM and Ground Designation process needs to be overhauled to realistically conduct Combat Operations. We ran into many situations during my time on Athena where the FOM process and the Tactical Situation didn't meet eye to eye. Trying to covertly establish Op's and insert Snipers while still following the Ground Designation process is almost impossible. There are options such as "Remote Designation" where ground is opened based on Map Recce, Imagery and Mine Data Base Data without having set a foot on the ground. To the best of my knowledge, no Task Force Commander on Athena has signed off on this type of Designation for anything except for Paved Roads. I predict that the current SOP's will be a serious issue for TF 3-06 mobility..... Unless your in the JTF
