By the way! Not a bad idea.I'm not going to compete in this because Kirkhill cheats....he'll have 4,000 troops each controlling a squadron of RC Tanks, a wing of RC attack drones and a fleet of RC UUVs...all backed by a 31 million strong all-volunteer "sportsmans" club armed with Canadian-made disposable, 1-shot MLRS launchers!
Why transfer RCN and RCAF and CANSOFCOM to civil defence force? In this case, the political party masters most likely say use them or lose them, no transfer out.OK, I'm jumping early (And no MLRS or RC cheats!)
Step 1 - Take all issued kit into inventory. Add inventory and toys at whim. Apparently Wokers don't mind spending money.
Step 2 - Transfer the RCAF and the RCN to the Civil Defence Force.
Step 3 - Paint all Aircraft Yellow and all ships white (with a jaunty dazzle stripe in red) They're our skies and waters. We don't need to hide.
Step 4 - Buy GBAD kit for inventory with lots of 35mm projectors and NASAMs MMLs, Munitions to include lots of birdshot, frangibles, PFHE (for larger foreign objects) and High Speed Loitering Drones (for reconnaissance of course). Must keep the skies open and airports operating, free of drones, to permit emergency services to operate, families to visit and take vacations, receive their expedited plastic stuff from China. One downside is businessmen would be free to travel.
Step 5 - Buy F35s for inventory and for SAR / SovPat purposes (NORAD to supply missiles if they absolutely insist we have to shoot something down).
Step 6 - Buy for inventory RPAS, High Altitude Pseudo Satellites and a constellation of navigation, comms, radar and observation satellites to keep track of the fields, the fires. the floods and all the other global warming catastrophes
Step 7 - Transfer the civilians to the Civil Defence Force
Step 8 - Transfer CANSOFCOM to the Civil Defence Force (they can come in hand domestically too - and if they end up taking a vacation in Ukraine who's to know?)
Step 9 - Buy for inventory multiple sets of small arms modelled on the New USMC pattern. Enough to equip all 217 Ranger Patrols of the Civil Defence Force, the entirety of the 10 DART brigades of the CDF, and all support personnel. As well as enough for the Canadian Peace Keepers Expeditionary Force. Issued for personal defence and local security. Grenade launchers and Carl Gustavs issued to the Civil Defence Force Armouries with non-lethal ammunition. Mortars and Machine Guns for managing disgruntled rednecks stored locally.
Step 10 - Buy Canadian ATVs, Snowmobiles and weird looking vehicles that will go anywhere. For Inventory.
Step 11 - Distribute all log vehicles in inventory equally across the 13 Provinces and Territories to depots.
Step 12 - Store all F Echelon Vehicles in 4 depots - Edmonton, Petawawa, Valcartier and Gagetown.
Now that lot is sorted out - What to do with the 15,000 Peace Keepers.
Step 13 - Retain CJOC
Step 14 - Combine all elements under 1 Cdn Div.
Step 15 - Establish a Sigs Regt under 1 Div with a Div HQ and 3 or 4 Bde HQs and a bunch of Unit HQs.
Step 16 - Fall in the remainder in light order
Step 17 - Draw from inventory kit necessary for training and for missions
Step 18 - Buy necessary stuff that isn't available.
Step 19 - Ask for volunteers from the Civil Defence Force and the RCMP.
Step 20 - Wait for a change of government.
Beyond that? I got nuffink!
Who said this party wants the new CAF to tackle humanitarian relief missions? Go back to the situation please and design accordingly.Oh. And large cargo aircraft for distributing skim milk powder and dehydrated potatoes for famine relief and Obelix and a bunch of sisters for Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief.
All bought for inventory and manned by Civil Defence Force Volunteers.
No need to maintain a CAF SOF component.You have to factor HQ, SOF, Admin, Ops planning, whatever.
No need to maintain a CAF SOF component.
Most large LEAs now have a nucleus of former CANSOF in their ETF/ERT/TRU/GTI. These units would be employed domestically anywhere within Canada under contract to the Minister of Public Safety with equipment transferred from CANSOF. The remainder of the sharp end of CANSOF could be bridged to LEAs for employment as special constables in a limited role, with an option for full bridging to regular constables if they so desire. The GoC could also enter into an international PLAR program allowing those who decided against or were found unsuitable for LEA employment to apply for a transfer (fully funded with a cost move, of course) transfer to another NATO nation's SOF component.
Each Team could be mandated to maintain a deployable sub-unit for VERY SPECIFIC international ops (CANCIT HR, NEO etc.) but NOT for direct action missions which would not be supported by a GoC policy of non intervention in international affairs. Those missions would be left to our allies. This capability would be funded centrally by the GoC.
LEAs in coastal communities (e.g. Halifax, Vancouver) would be funded and mandated to develop and maintain a maritime ERT capability with equipment transferred from CANSOF.
CFJIRU would be transferred to CNSC or Health Canada.
I think Kirkhill was adding in the contemporary factor of an organization ignoring its directed GR&A (ground rules and assumptions…the latest DND planning space buzzword).Who said this party wants the new CAF to tackle humanitarian relief missions? Go back to the situation please and design accordingly.
