Hi
AFAIK there is a Troop's worth of Leo C2'S (plus a couple of spares) at the Armd School and the rest are pooled in Wainwright. No idea what that "S" regiment has in Edmonton on hand but we (the RCD) and the RBC in Valcatraz are fully Armd Recce Regt's now with Coyotes as our main vehicle. 2 Sqns of kit for 3 Sqns of troops. That's F Ech Sqns's. We still have a HQ Sqn but they're losing some of their abilities/kit too. No one here knows when or how the MGS will be integrated into the now gutted (poorly Armoured) Corps. It is not nor will ever be a replacement for a MBT. Successor perhaps but never a replacement. You want to talk tanks then don't talk to Lew, he's a groundpounder. Rick Hillier speaks very well on the subject and you'll soon realize that Leo's are gone and should never return. Too far gone now. A new tank is the only option or else no tanks at all. Which do you think the Politicians will choose? I can comment some more Jon, but Duty prevents me from doing so here on this public Forum.  I Like my job.  regards D
