ADF General discussion thread

Well you are on a continent, there are other countries on that continent. Europe is a continent. NATO. I get it.
I see the Canadian army is ~15,000 below its manpower target. Placing it pretty much same size as Australia's. So its only really upsizing aspirations. I think they should give up that 15000 target and grow capability. I'm not sure what 15,000 more soldiers gets them exactly, and I'm not sure its obtainable target in realistic timeframes.

Which is the the thing. The ADF has shifted from far away long term platforms to what can be acquired, in country and FOC before 2030. I think Canada needs to do the same thing. The window is narrowing.
Agree but with long delivery on stuff already ordered along with kit yet to be ordered, FOC by 2030 is not happening IMO.
