It's that giddy pre-budget time: might as well dream.
This ties in with a recent conversation I had, pleasing but not realistic,
about what we could do with five brigades. The results, after a couple of
pints, were:
1 CMBG Heavy armour Edmonton/Wainwright
2 CBG Light/airborne Petawawa
3 CBG Shoreline ops Gagetown/Aldershot
4 CBG Arctic and mountain warfare Chilliwack
5 CBG Heliborne ops Valcartier
A doctrinal dog's breakfast, but not all that different from what the Dutch
do. The concept would be that militia in each army area (LFWA/2) would
train to either augment or to expand to replicate their corresponding
regular army unit.
