#ORBATBoys Moving to wrap up my overlook of a reformed #canadianarmy 8e Division du Canada, here's the ORBAT for the functionally bilingual 8 Service Regiment/8e Régiment des Services, the effective DISCOM unit for eastern Ontario & western Québec. www.deviantart.com/pyeknu/art/1...

#ORBATBoys Latest ORBAT for my reimaging of the #canadianarmy, the manoeuvre support element of 8e Division du Canada, 8 Canadian Combat Support Brigade/8e Brigade d'Appui au Combat du Canada. As this is a bilingual formation, all titles are in both languages. www.deviantart.com/pyeknu/art/1...

#ORBATBoys The last of 8e Division du Canada's Militia brigades in my reimaging of the #canadianarmy, 31e Groupe-Brigade Légère du Canada (Arctique), which covers all of northern Québec and would support 8e GBLC (ARC) when required. Enjoy! www.deviantart.com/pyeknu/art/1...

#ORBATBoys Whoops! Forgot to post the link for the updated version of the 8th Canadian Division's first Militia brigade. Note that 13e Groupe-Brigade du Canada (Motorisée)'s incarnation here spans both sides of the Ottawa River from Pembroke to Hawkesbury on the Ontario side and Pontiac Region /1

#ORBATBoys The last two ORBATs for the #canadianarmy Old Red Patch have been updated. No real changes save for removing all the references to special duties units, which will be covered elsewhere. Enjoy! www.deviantart.com/pyeknu/art/1... www.deviantart.com/pyeknu/art/1...

An updated #canadianarmy #ORBATBoys chart for 10 Canadian Armoured Brigade Group (Guards), the bi-provincial effective Militia expansion of the #CeremonialGuard concept into an active military formation. Noted that the 2 CLBG (AMBL) chart has been updated to show that the #GGHG from Toronto /1

Latest #canadianarmy #ORBATBoys entry for today covers 4 Service Regiment (4 SVC REGT), the 4th Canadian Division's logistics/maintenance train. Think of this as the streamlined version of a division's DISCOM (Division Support Command) and it works. Enjoy! www.deviantart.com/pyeknu/art/1...

New #ORBATBoys post for my conception of the #CanadianArmy, this time introducing two updated Militia brigades subordinated to the 4th Canadian Division in southwest Ontario. 11 Canadian Armoured Brigade Group (11 CABG) would be a wheeled armoured formation with Centauro B2 tank destroyers /1

And the last two #ORBATBoys entries for the regular #CanadianArmy, covering 4 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (reformed) in southwest Ontario and 5e Groupe-Brigade Méchanisé du Canada (extant) in central Québec. This makes it 2 x armoured brigades, 2 x mechanized infantry brigades 1/

Final #ORBATBoys entry for tonight for the #CanadianArmy, I give you 7 Canadian Armoured Brigade Group (7 CABG), which would use the excellent tank country of Saskatchewan and Manitoba to practice their trade, formed around the 2nd Patricias and 3rd Royal Canadians with other units.

New #ORBATBoys entry for the #CanadianArmy, this one showing 1 Canadian Armoured Brigade Group (the upgraded #1CMBG from Edmonton and Shilo in western Canada), keeping the Strathconas and the 1st Patricias, plus added a reborn 1st Queen's Own Rifles and other new units. Hopefully, the image is good.

Last #ORBATBoys entry for today, here is what I would propose for the #CanadianArmy to return a full brigade group to Atlantic Canada. I call this the 3 Canadian Light Brigade Group (Amphibious), which would have both amphibious infantry battalions in NB and NL, plus an airmobile battalion in NS.

And another #ORBATBoys entry for the #CanadianArmy as I see it. This is the 6 Canadian Light Brigade Group (Mountain) to be based mostly in British Columbia, thus ensuring that there are full-time personnel posted there in case of natural disasters; such also has an amphibious ability as well.

And here is a new #ORBATBoys entry for the #CanadianArmy, displaying the updated 2 Canadian Light Brigade Group (2 CLBG), which I reconfigured as a combined airborne/airmobile/light infantry formation. For those wondering, the battalions of the #RCR once assigned to 2 Brigade are shifted elsewhere.

Well, decided to revamp my vision for the #CanadianArmy for the 2025 reforms. #ORBATBoys This is 8e Groupe-Brigade Légère du Canada (Arctique) (8e GBLC (ARC)), which would be the active element of the 8th Canadian Division covering the area from east of Toronto to Ottawa to just outside Montréal.
