BGen Cook emphasizes the need to prepare the Canadian Armed Forces for the possibility of war by 2028–2030. He highlights the accelerating threat environment and the importance of investing in necessary capabilities early. spaceq.ca/brigadier-gene…

The Canadians, many of them volunteers, pushed furthest inland today. Allies matter. You don't win wars without friends.

🇨🇦 has finally fired its first live GBAD round. A big day for bird gunners from 4 Reg (GS) who have worked hard to get here. Still - this was an 'Urgent Operational Procurement' approved & funded by Federal Cabinet in Winter 22. >3 years to field a UOR. We have to do better.

Spent the morning working through OPFOR functional tactics and templating with AOC students. What a great way to spend the day!

There’s a lot in the Army we can’t control and that is way above our pay grade: procurement, tech programs, budgets, etc. But here’s what we can control: 🧠 Our mindset. 📚 Our professional development. 💪 Our fitness. Hone your edge. Be ready when it counts.

Living out of an assault bag and a kit bag. Everything you need, nothing you don’t. In the field, your world shrinks to what you can control: your gear, your team, your choices. There’s freedom in that.

I am once again begging Canadians to understand that NATO members collectively decide what counts as NATO-eligible defence spending. The spending 🎯 is also a proxy for specific quantitative & qualitative force structure targets + capability assignments. nato.int/cps/en/natohq/….

3D printed models used to educate troops on the quantity and type of enemy ‘heavy metal’ heading towards their urban defensive positions. One MR Bn of four in the Regt, four of which sit within the enemy’s Division. Close combat anti armour capability CRITICAL to success.

Would have loved to be a fly on the wall in this PD session. The collective brain power, experience, and dedication, in the room must have generated some awesome discussion!

Honing the intellectual edge in the margins. Sitting in a library while my daughter is in tutoring = a great chance to get 30min of reading in. Currently reading Kevin Williamson’s chapter in this book. Great so far! #TheEnemysGateIsDown

From our Touria Izri Canadian military surpasses 2025 recruitment goal, hits 10-year high - National | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/11229064/…

The scales of war: Strategic = nations fighting each other. Operational = armies, corps and divisions fighting each other. Tactical = units smaller than divisions fighting each other.

ICYMI: Alex Buck (Alex Buck 🇨🇦) discussed the educational tactical #wargaming he is leading at the Canadian Army Operations Course! This is an excellent case study in integrating wargames! Link: youtu.be/DDCBSJbjcFA?si…

Serving in a US Army brigade in Afghanistan showed me what alliance really means. Shared purpose, mutual trust, and standing together under pressure. That’s the foundation of real strength.

Sat in on a symposium today about dispersed command posts. Great discussion on survivability, agility & C2 in the modern fight. It takes a robust technical backbone to command effectively in a dispersed battlespace. Without it, dispersion risks becoming disarray.

Case study on Goose Green with AOC students today. A gritty reminder that in combat, momentum, mission command & grit often matter more than perfect plans. Fog of war is real, and often courage & judgment in the moment outweigh calculations.

📅Recent cyberattack on Marks and Spencer highlights the ongoing issue of teenage hacking gangs. Can we stop young cybercriminals hijacking online life? Join us on 7 July for a vital discussion on this issue with Joe Tidy BBC News. my.rusi.org/events/how-tee…

Just reviewed the first print proofs for a prototype card game on combined arms warfare in a drone-heavy battlespace. Pumped!
