Visit from the CDS Gen Eyre and the Canadian Army Sergeant Major CWO Robin to OSH Latin America and the Caribbean. Operational support hubs Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) operations abroad are enabled by operational support hubs (OSH) that exist through a series of pre-negotiated arrangements with partner nations to facilitate the movement of personnel, materiel, equipment and supplies in strategic locations around the world. OSHs: -are not military bases -allow the CAF to move people, materiel, equipment and supplies around the world allow the CAF to respond to crises like natural disasters in a timely way -offer fast, flexible and cost-efficient ways to launch and sustain global operations -can be activated or de-activated as needed

Saluting the dedication of the Leclerc marines currently training alongside our NATO allies from French Forces in #Romania. The pursuit of interoperability in such a rigorous setting is a testament to the strategic foresight of our armed forces. In the dynamic landscape of modern warfare, the ability to seamlessly operate with allied units is paramount. This endeavor aligns with the standards set by institutions like Finabel - European Army Interoperability Centre, which stands as a cornerstone in shaping and advancing interoperability protocols. The Leclerc Marines' commitment to perfecting their interoperability underscores a comprehensive approach to military readiness, acknowledging that true strength lies in the ability to act as a cohesive and interoperable force. The demanding training context provided by the French Forces in #Romania not only hones the tactical skills of the Leclerc marines but also fosters a culture of collaboration and synergy. As we march forward, the emphasis on interoperability resulting from such joint exercises will undoubtedly amplify our collective capacities. #StrongerTogether #PlusFortsEnsemble #Interoperability #ArmedForces #ArmyCooperation #CollectiveAction

"Army Materiel Command has been at the forefront of delivering record amounts of military aid to Ukraine as that nation defends against Russia’s unprovoked full-scale invasion that began in February 2022. Ukraine is a key regional strategic partner and remains an urgent security assistance priority for the United States. Much of AMC’s heavy lifting has been done by the U.S. Army Security Assistance Command and Army Sustainment Command, but the entire AMC and greater Army sustainment enterprise have had crucial roles, including Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, Army Contracting Command, and Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command. Each command and agency has unique contributions as it supports a whole-of-government approach to Russian aggression in Ukraine."

#China's #Navy, also known as the People's Liberation Army Navy (#PLAN🇨🇳⚓️), appears to be altering its deployment strategy for the Gulf of #Aden mission. Traditionally, PLAN task forces have departed China #three times a year, at roughly four-month intervals. Recently, however, this schedule has shifted to extend deployments to #five months. This new pattern means fewer ships need to be deployed each year, reducing turnover time between task forces. This adjustment could enhance the operational readiness of the PLAN and potentially increase the number of ships available for missions in the western #Pacific, indicating strategic implications for #future maritime #contingencies. The Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs (#CMSI) has released CMSI Note 8, which details this change in deployment patterns. The note includes a comprehensive table listing all PLAN task forces deployed to the Gulf of Aden since 2009, with information on deployment dates, fleets, and involved ships, providing a valuable reference for analysts. Dennis J. Blasko, LTC (Ret.), authored the note, which highlights this operational shift. https://lnkd.in/eR9H8Gqa).
