Quick note: Canadian Corporals are more equivalent to USMC Lance Corporals or US Army Specialists, both in terms of ranks scale and promotion standards. A lot of dudes get stuck at Corporal because of limited Master Corporal slots, this leads to them becoming Corporal For Life or C4L equivalent to Marine Terminal Lances or the Army’s E4 mafia.

Each truck had two “Trunk Monkeys”. There was the Patrol Commander, 2IC, 3IC and Doc. The latter 4 operated as truck commanders and dismounted at their discretion to fulfill ground duties. We effectively had a 9-Marine Rifle Squad and 4 Gun Trucks. We didn’t operate in 4-man fire teams, but rather as “Trunk Monkeys” that would link up or deploy as needed.

That’s really similar to how we were running Strykers when we first got them. You’d have the VC, Driver, and two air guards that were used because of the stupid layout of the vehicles weapon system. It basically made the driver side rear unguarded. So we had to take guys out of the fire teams. When we had dismounts, the saw gunners were the air guards because saw.

The Canadian belt fed 7.62mm machine gun is almost identical to our GPMG as they're both based on the same Belgian design, which was actually designed in the 50's, entered service in the British Army in the very early 1960's....meaning it's been used constantly for over 50 years.

Back in 1995, I was serving with the RI Army National Guard and had the opportunity to conduct annual training in Canada, at Canadian Forces Base Valcartier, in Quebec Province, which is the home of the Royal 22nd Regiment (the "Van Doos"), which is referenced early in the video (0:51). While there, I had the opportunity to meet several of their mech infantry soldiers; good guys, very solid soldiers. At that time, the U.S. Army was still using iron sights on its M-16A2s, while the Canadians had already fielded the ELCAN scope on their C7 rifles. The 22nd mech infantry guys showed me theirs and boy were they proud of having those scopes as standard issue on their rifles. They were especially proud that the scopes were made in Canada. One thing I'll mention here. We spent several days in garrison, before going out to the field, and their chow hall was amazing!!! Best food I've ever eaten in military dining facility. US Navy comes in second. I can't think of very many memorable meals I've had in an Army mess hall.

Good vid. Dismounted TOWs are shoot once and die weapons. I’ve observed many live fire events with TOWs and none of them hit a moving target. The signature is huge, the time of flight is long enough to allow a well trained tank platoon to execute battle drill and get off at least two rounds of counter fire before the missive reaches the target. This generally ends the flight without a hit

Canadian Infantry are very professional and train hard in my opinion. I am a Yank from down South. When the shit hits the fan, fury explodes. In mech infantry all soldiers learn every trade and leadership roles at least 2 levels above as in the US Army. Very common for me back in the 1980s was I was an Airborne Contract and graduated Airborne School and becoming an mech infantry before I transferred over to an Airborne Infantry unit 2 years later. Honestly mechanized infantrymen are more intelligent in technical and urban tactical aspects. Paratroopers are more proficient on light infantry skills. That was the difference back in the 1980s and 90s. Iraq and Afghanistan combat experience has training and combat experience combined both which is good. Cross trained skills helps soldiers and commanders in more skill sets and reduces casualties.

Platoon Commanders (Pl Cmdr) will always command their vehicle when mounted as will the Sect Cmdr's of their own respective LAVs. A 10-man section typically dismounts 8 personnel in two 4-man fire groups of two 2-man fire teams each. Each fire group would be lead by the Sect Cmdr and Sect 2IC. Each group would have a rifleman, grenadier and LMG. The LAV gunner would assume command of the section Zulu vehicle (with the driver), while the Pl WO would command the Pl HQ Zulu veh and control movement of the platoon Zulu vehicles while the platoon is dismounted. --- There is also a *_Battle Group_* formation which is typically a battalion+ sized organization consisting of a mechanized infantry battalion, an armoured squadron, CE squadron and RCHA battery (w/ FOO/FAC).

33% of every platoon and 33% of every company is in depth, if a CMBG forms 2 battle groups then there would be about 20% of the remaining Bde strength in depth. Also depth is important in both the defense and the attack. CA training is VERY aggressive in doctrine, a 203 on a rifle doesn't prevent someone from assaulting. Any mechanized force has a giant tail. The more support elements you have the less the combat troops have to deal with admin/support activities and the more they can fight. Furthermore the nature of armoed vehicles, especially tanks and IFV's make them very maintenance heavy and consume supplies at a very high rate, requiring a lot of support. The modern soldier also has much more and complex equipment that they're carrying around, requiring more support. Officer ratio is about the same as the US just with everyone being +1 rank because commonwealth rank structure is weird like that.

It didn't. Not really. That is still the official doctrine, but these days with manpower shortages and crewing LAVs, you'll often end up with fewer dismounted troops. Once they switch into the Light role, it's still 8.

Dude! Stop spilling the beans on us!

I really like your videos. Do you think you can do organization of Czech republic army mechanized infantry on Pandur II from 4th Rapid deployment brigade?

Love to see more Canadian

Loving the background music from wargame red dragon.. Thumbs up for knowing your audience!

Good stuff.

Couple points: We don't call them L.A.V's...spelling it out like you do...we say LAV. You never anglicize the Royal 22ieme Régiment's name, by pronouncing it 22nd. Its name is french and you don't translate it. The CSM is not necessarily the the MWO with most time in...company sergeant major in the Canadian military is an appointment not a rank...therefore any master warrant officer can be appointed CSM.

🇨🇦 nice to see our boys...👍

I love your videos! Could you make one about German armored troops and infantry? A lot will change there with new armor incoming, new Rifles will be adopted and even a new military branch coming.

I understand the videos perfectly.

On the one hand I love the Inglis high power they are everything you really need in a military pistol. On the other hand they were from WW2, not just the design I mean most of the ones the Canadian military are still using were made in the 40s.

For future videos, in the Canadian Armed Forces, lieutenant is pronounced “left-tenant”, just like the British do.

@some lǝᴉuɐp guy I am also a Canadian soldier, people might say "ell tee" and a couple people might say "loo-tenant", but it's supposed to be pronounced "left-tenant". Its the exact same as our Lt-Governors, its pronounced left-tenant governor. Not lootenant governor.

Do people from Quebec say "Lef-tenant"? Because us Americans say "Loo-tenant" because during and after the war for independence the Army was mostly modeled after the French and we just used French pronunciations.

@some lǝᴉuɐp guy I don’t really care how people pronounce it. We all know what rank is being referred to. I just think if someone is making a video on doctrine/regulation, they should use the correct pronunciations.

hope u do one about the Dutch army, 43 gemechaniseerde Brigade is a good one (mixed Dutch and German armored forces).

Can you do a video on the Royal Canadian Dragoons at some point pleace

Why not just do it on armoured recce in general

Good video. Just a few points of interest 1. Regular units of the Canadian Army have a peace time manning of 70-75% of war strength. That means there is a D Company which is supposed to materialize when a major war breaks out. For more minor operations the Battalion that is tasked will often be brought up to strength by a company from another Battalion or the Army Reserves. 2. The Leopard 2 tanks of the Armoured regiments are more theory than reality. Currently the Canadian Army has 80 battle tanks (give or take). That translates into either one tank regiment or one tank squadron for each of the regular regiments with about 20 spare tanks. Those sqns that are not currently outfitted with tanks are using LAVs or TAPVs as stand ins. As with the operations in Afghanistan the plan is to create aMech Battle Group based on one full infantry battalion (based on one of the Regular Battalions, probably with the 4th company, a tank Sqn, an armoured engineer troop and an artillery gun battery. This Battle Group would operate for 6-9 months then be replaced by another battalion, sqn, troop and battery and so on. This rotation allows the Canadian Army to cover its commitments by sharing the limited equipment. What the CA will do if a major war breaks out and we have to use all the units at the same time im not sure. As a Canadian soldier this used to bother me but I realized after much research that many other armies have the same problem. The Australian Army is almost identical to the Canadian Army including 3 Armoured units sharing 3 sqns of actual tanks and the rest running LAVs just like the CA is.

i was gonna make a joke about how they put C in front of everything, but then realized that America does the same thing with M

The French and British also don't name everything with Ls. The British for example uses FV designation for armored vehicles. The US use M for tanks, utility vehicles, rifles, grenade launcher, machine guns and basically everything. The only one that's like the US is the Koreans which use K for everything

USA, Canada, Korea: Lets be super methodical with our weapons nomenclature. Meanwhile in India, weapons names be like:- *Netra:* Indian designed AEW&CS *Netra:* Indian designed Quadcopter UAV *Netra:* AI-based Internet Surveillance System for Intelligence agencies (Indian NSA) Sindhu *Netra:* Indian designed Spy Satellite for tracking enemy warships . *Arudhra:* 4D S-band AESA radar created in India (400 km range) *Arudhra:* 4D S-band AESA radar bought from Israel (ELTA EL/M 2084) ^These two radars look nothing alike. . IACCS: Integrated Air Command and Control System IACCCS: Integrated Artillery Command Control and Communication System . Trying to make the Indian equivalent of Aster-15 or ESSM:- ATTEMPT 1 (ends in failure): Missile named "Trishul" (powerful name, meaning a Trident, mythological weapon of Hindu Gods) ATTEMPT 2 (successful): Missile named "VL-SRSAM" (Vertically Launched Short Range SAM) . WTF!? Make it less confusing please!

really nice video mate ca you do one on the infantry formation of the indian army according to power index it has the 4th most powerful army in the war

Maple fury, best way and nice way to describe the Canadian armed forces.

Canadians have a great history of being awesome soldiers. Semper Fi to our great neighbors to the north!

do some organization vids and equipment vids bout estonia from 1940s up until 2020

FYI we never called a LAV a L - A - V. We called them a LAV. In one syllable as in the first syllable of lavatory. Seeing as they are Canadian, anyone who calls them L-A-Vs are wrong ;). Ret'd former LAV Crew Commander, 1 PPCLI.

The RCMP and some other police agencies in Canada also use the C8, and the Canadian military is looking to replace their Hi-Powers.
