How goes it "Another recce Guy"?  No need for the target on your back, I'm with you on having the Armoured Reserve community filling the Close Recce roll with in an Armoured Recce Sqn deployed.  Thought I would reply to this as I was the Recce Sqn Ops WO deployed Roto 2 Op ATHENA.  What you have...

recceguy,   here is a Link I refer to quite often when trying to keep up on current affaires effecting everyone in regards to procurement.  There is all sorts of info including the Bison which was purchased in the early 90's for the Reserves by the Reserves as an Inf Section carrier and was...

RecceDG,    unfortunately all of the Bisons are being re roled into New Ambulances, MRT's, Buffalo Recovery veh, and Command Posts to fill the Gap after the cancelation of the AVGP fleet upgrades.  Below is a link to the FENNEK Recce Veh that I had the Opportunity to work with in Afghanistan. ...

recceguy,   here is the link to the Army Electronic Library which avail on the internet and is avail to the public.  The New Recce Pub "Recce and Surveillance Ops" is not Coyote specific and refers to all Recce tasks based on new doctrine...

George,   Lee is to busy trying to come up some sadistic tactics for OPFOR.  I don't think I can keep him off E bay.  Looks like Chris is posted back to the regiment this summer. I will say Hi to the guys for you.  I spoke with Tom a couple of hours ago. :salute: Richard

George,   we must have crossed paths at one time.  I was in Pet with the 8CH 83-85 A/Recce Sqn, C Sqn RCD Germany 85-87, Recce Sqn 8 CH Germany with Tom Falls 87-90, re badged Strathcona 1990 served Calgary and Edmonton with them, and Gagetown 2001-2003 at the School.  I work with both Chris and...

George,   based on your last post in regards to publications we are both saying the same thing.  B-GL-394-001/FP-001 Recce in Battle dated Oct 99 was in final draft form but has yet to be approved.  If I am not mistaken I belive B-GL-394-002/FP-001 Recce and Surv Ops has replaced the above and...

George,   while I was Kosovo the Leopards unfortunately were used more as a rolling road block than anything.  A complete Sqn should have been deployed. Its true they spent more time moving than any of the other nations tanks based on size and weight. I agree that the Optics on the Coyote...

recceguy,   in response to your last post: publication B-GL-394-002/FP-001 Reconnassiance and Surveillance Operations has supercedded B-GL-305-002/FP-001 dated 1979-02-09 and B-GL-305-005/FP-001 dated 1985-09-28. Recce and Surv Ops as well as the ISTAR publication are a good read. The...

George,   in KOSOVO the Italians used Centaro in the Recce Roll which has greater firepower, and protection and is a far better Recce veh than the Luchs and was quieter.  The Luchs although a good veh in its time has gone the way of the Dodo and is being replaced by FENNEK which completed its...

Love793    Remember, Coyote is not a Recce Veh.  It's a Surveillance Veh (Both RMSS and MMSS variants) Thought I would jump in based on the remarks made above by Love793.  The Coyote was purchased as a Medium Recce Veh replacing the Lynx to provide a number of cababilities, Surveillance being...

I was shocked to hear Rob St Dennis passed away prior to Christmas as a result of a car accident.  My condolences go out to his family. RIP Rob

What about the FENNEK?  It is a platform that is being used by the German Army as a Medium Recce vehicle.  Small and perfect for Close Recce and would be great for the reserves.

TCBF showed me this site prior to heading off on a 10 week block french crse in Edmonton.  Thought I would drop in a few names of people whom I have a great deal of respect for and had the privilege to serve with over the years.  Tunner Martin, Winston Rutledge, Doug Harvey, Doug Seed, Lee...
