After researching the tactics and operations carried out by Special operations forces on Netscape, and cross referencing it with the Standard Rules of Conventional Warfare. The Canadian Armed Forces Council has Unanimously Decided to not pursue this idea of developing a Special Forces units for the Canadian Military as the unconventional operations carried out by such forces would be considered illegal in today's conventional warfare.

This case is adjourned.

Just to clarify, the unconventional operations carried out by special force would be considered illegal in Canada's own internal rules for conventional warfare. Only a fool would consider special forces to be illegal in regard to international law, the Geneva Convention, the Hague Convention, etc.

Apparently by Canadian standards the US Army Rangers, Green Berets, Navy SEALs, British SAS and SBS, Russian Spetsnaz, Israel's Sayeret Matkal French COS Commandos, Chinese Snow Leopards, and the multitude of other special forces organizations around the world would be criminals.

A much more polite explanation, Mick!

Mech, I apologize if I was an a-hole with my comment on special forces.

The Canadian Airborne Regiment is not considered a Special force, they are conventalionally trained Infantry regiment attached to the RCAF that where meant to be dropped as a whole regiment directly near Canadian Army units on the front lines in order to setup the Equipment needed to get the RCAF fighter aircraft to perform Close air support.

Next item on the docket for the Canadian Armed Forces Council is

Electronic Warfare

How could such a systems be useful in our military?
How much would it cost to acquire such a system?
Is EW legal in today's Standards of Conventional Warfare?

After a days worth of research into Eletronic Warfare the Council is looking into acquiring such a system for testing purposes, the RCAF will send a message to the USAF and the US Navy to see if they have a working EA-6 Prowler in their inventory.

While the RCAF wait for a response from the USAF or US Navy about a EA-6 Prowler aircraft, The Council is reading further about EW to see what applications it can do, and how it would fit with our military's doctrine.

(Oh and Chris the Hospital ship is named HMCHS Frederick Banting.)

The name of the ship was garbled due to translation from Hassaniya language, then Farsi, then English. Not all words have direct translation. Please excuse the translation errors.

With no word back from the USAF and US Navy about acquiring a Surplus EA-6 Prowler.
The Armed Forces Council has decided to not pursue Electronic Warfare, due to lack of such equipment for testing purposes.

With that this Week Long review has come to a close, the Council is Abjorned.

It Looks like Electronic Warfare will get a Chance In the New Canadian Military, as our Ally Australia, found a couple of long abandoned EA-18 Growlers left overs from what was supposed to be a "9 day" grounding of these aircraft back in January of last year. it was located in one of their storage units in Sidney, they will be shipped to Canada later this week.

I am certainly glad that Karma forces have "defected" EW & ECM aircraft even if it is not an F/A-18 G 'Growler'. But I understand that Karma have a couple of 'infected' planes and pods for F-5s. WE are worrying about them now.
