Welcome to the neighborhood! Germany can be a whole lot of fun, but it can also be a very challenging place to operate.

The issue is that you have to adhere to German rules and laws and it can make your operations difficult. For example, if you want ro move vehicles by rail you have to follow Deutsch Bahn rules, you can't drive heavy vehicles in some areas, etc.

Drive on a farm, be ready to pay the farmer for crop and infrastructure damages. Need approval from German Govt to conduct operations off base.

When I was stationed there we were required to have 4 trash cans. 1 for trash, 1 for paper and glass, 1 for metals, and 1 for food scrapa and yard waste. It's probably worse now.

Fortunately we will not perform operations in Germany, CFB Lahar will only be used to help the regimental commanders better coordinate the troops when fighting overseas.

Plus the troops sent to the base are on Garrison duty.

Expensive duty to guard a garrison... ummmm.

New Canada Military News, "Fortunately we will not perform operations in Germany, CFB Lahar will only be used to help the regimental commanders better coordinate the troops when fighting overseas.

Maybe Germany Govt is concerned about Russia invasion.

We lived in a stairwell last time. All those bins you mentioned, plus a bin for Brown glass, one for green glas, and one for batteries. And you better not get it wrong, either. And cardboard was separate from other paper. The Germans are not necessarily more efficient than everyone else, but they do have a very specific procedure for everything.

Raqqah Syria
A group of Unmarked tan coloured soilders walked into the area where the 40th Battlion and DIS teams are operating, they asked to see the commander of the unit.

Unfortunately, you can’t just stroll into the ROD position. The teams are dispersed throughout the area, and even if you find one of them you will have to preset the proper far recognition signal to avoid being killed. A blue light will flash and you can either present a VS-17 panel folded in the correct manner or you can lay down your weapons and be disarmed and hog tied.

The unknown soldiers presents a rather old VS-17 Panel of the Canadian Special Operations Regiment.

The VS-17 panel is a piece of fabric that is orange on one side and pink on the other. It can be folded to form specific patterns, and these patterns serve as a far recognition sign, which changes every 24 hours. Since you have no way of knowing what the correct pattern is, the ROD troops see the VS-17 panel but the wrong pattern is displayed.

The ROD troops disappear without a trace.

If you want to contact the ROD operators in Syria you should go through official ROD military channels. Or if you want you can try snooping around in certain hookah lounges in Raqqah or Damascus to find one of their informants. You probably don't have much time though. The ROD guys were in the country due to Turkish/Kurdish/Syrian activity, but since we seem to be migrating into an Al Kabbab scenario the ROD will most likely shift their attention to the east back into northern Iraq.
