    More than 5,000 soldiers have taken part in the Canadian Army’s largest exercise of the year. For two weeks, soldiers from Canada, the UK, US and France have been part of Exercise Maple Resolve at the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre in Alberta. Nearly 100 of those are from the British Army, with the exercise pitting two forces against each other, culminating in one final battle.

    The good thing a bout the Canadians is they have enough room to hold war games on piece's of land bigger then some Countries ! and yes they are well known to be good soldiers , and yes they need a budget increase is right, BUT ! being American who has trained with the Canadians many year's ago, it is funny that they always get the job done no matter what equipment they have... I would fight with them any time, it is nice to see Allies train together.

    Just for those who arent aware: the DTES/MILES kit theyre using is all gps linked. Obviously for direct fire, the sensors on the helmet/vest pick up the lasers, but for IDF its literally a GPS kill area. Itll randomise what injuries you have and the like. Bit annoying but the only way to get actual cover from the GPS kill areas on IDF is to have special GPS units placed in your trenches to 'upgrade' them into bunkers which can take a few hits...when they work.
    Nothing more annoying than getting 'killed' by a mortar that landed 80 metres away on the other side of a massive bun line just as youre about to brass up an unsuspecting platoon with a gpmg. Really good kit otherwise though.

Their GDP is much greater than ours so they can enjoy a larger armed forces. Canada compensates by training training and more training.

No amount of planning or structure can prepare you for when nothing goes as planned. That's why we believe in creating competent decision makers who can roll with the punches and get the job done.

    You just can't stick to your line of fox holes when you know for sure that an attack is on it's way. At the very least every fire team should be assigned a secondary position that is both close to their fighting position and capable of at least making it more unlikely they are taken out by fire support assets that are sure to pepper their positions before the enemy ever tries to close in. Code words can be set to stand for different predetermined manouvers such as, get to your secondary safe position, and swap to the firing position.
