Badged into The RCR 10 years ago today. How it started: How it's going (a few months ago):

#WargameWednesday in full effect at Advanced Land Power Studies today! @SebastianBae @smarkg52

Strap in: Follow one of our paratroopers from @16AirAssltBCT jumping in to Tristan da Cunha – one of the world’s most remote communities – to deliver vital medical support 🪂

Belgium knows how to do it!

@smarkg52 Awesome!

@RCRBuck central vs southern Ontario battle. 😁

Planning is playing! @SebastianBae Littoral Commander @USACGSC #wargaming MDO.

@smarkg52 @USACGSC I was thinking about this game today too - instagram.com/reel/DXutxLNkZ…

#Wargame Design @USACGSC with Frank Chadwick’s classic Battle for Moscow. Students will spend the next few weeks learning #Wargaming mechanics and design their own game and playtest it twice!!! Some say it’s the most creative thing they did here!!

@smarkg52 @USACGSC @ArmyUniversity @___PHALANX Great game!

Making Military Decisions in with #wargaming using Race to the Rhine today. A great game about sustainment for @USACGSC @ArmyUniversity @___PHALANX

@MidOfficer @ThomasWatsonCD See you in a few years. Sounds like a good next project.

@RCRBuck @ThomasWatsonCD My goal is to become the Commandant of the Staff College so I can codify hat-based planning into our doctrine.

Despite big investments it's unlikely that 🇨🇦 Army logistics will improve anytime soon. Part of the problem is a persistent inability to procure rational fleets. It's not just overlapping trucks, but the basics. 7 different beret colours, 16 sizes each. 112 line items to manage!

@MidOfficer @ThomasWatsonCD I knew there must be a good reason! We should wear even more hats than we already do!

@RCRBuck @ThomasWatsonCD 90% of combat power is generated in the hat.

@MidOfficer @ThomasWatsonCD Why do we even wear these hats at all?

@ThomasWatsonCD Or a single beret colour. Or some other solution. There are 9 total common beret colours in the CAF. 144 items to purchase and stock.

You can't be a teacher if you don't invest in your own learning. More additions to our library just arrived 👇

I always forget pics, so before I forget again—#ManeuverWarfare on the table at Connections North! #wargaming @FoundationDietz

Great to be at #ConnectionsNorth and finally put faces to so many names I’ve only known through emails. Awesome to connect in person with so many thoughtful people doing great work.
