Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

[Kirkhill]

So is that one of the 25 that were going to be held at each of the Area Training Centres or is that one of the vehicles that were never going to be allowed into Reserve hands?

I just chanced upon that article you have posted above, Colin.

I think its hilarious that one of the proposed "More Stories" at the bottom of the Global News article is tilted: "Those New Crossover SUVs Will Take Your Breath Away".
;D

For transportation...

There is at least one armoured regiment employing them as cavalry to attack, block, guard, and “any job a tank can do”.

I'm guessing you could fit about four anorexics in there, so assume they would be meant as transportation for Gurkhas

Having just finished Maple resolve (veh tech), most of our work has been Tapv's. I think only 6 coyotes came in for 2nd line stuff and most came in because of poor operator maintenance and bad 1st line diagnostic.

Tapv's on the other hand.. Oh lord.

I hope we get rid of them quick.

Are you kidding? Think of the position power the TAPV has just handed the maintenance branches!  :nod:

Rceme always had a position over the maintenance, but the leadership isnt there.

I hardly think someone with less than 3 years of experience in the RCEME Corps can speak accurately on the Corps leadership or lack thereof.  I'll go to a just past OJT mechanic if my truck breaks because that is your lane and I value the work the techs do.

For real.  I have even seen a TAPV based firebase for a BG deliberate attack.

Somebody sure gets points for creativity. I will give them that.

Nothing like using a vehicle armed with weapons that have less range and stopping power than the vehicles they are supporting  :rofl:

As long as they're drawing fire away from the Infantry  :nod:

Failing donating them to Mali you could always attach snow-plows/barricade breakers to them and turn them over to the local authorities.... just the thing for Toronto's emergency services.

Just follow Germany's example.

Unless you come in as a skilled tradesmen and bypass said ojt. But what do you know about it dear Log?
