Hi,

Had a look at the TOE and, like a number of people, think that it is a very
strong army. To down-power it, so that it could be taken on by one of
the more typical forces you could use only (or mostly) green troops. Having
had my first experience using mostly green troops on Friday I can tell you
that they are terrible! Commanding a largely green force takes a different
mind-set than that required for a battle-hardened and experienced force.

Making UNSCMC troops green doesn't take much justification, they mostly see
peace-keeping operations...

Just a thought

For actual ground combat, yes I could see that.

Unless they recruit from combat veterans of other militaries.

That's very Canadian.

Hi, It helps define the operational abilities in reguard to historical
effectiveness....history repeats itself....organizational inertia....power
corrupts.

While you may consider the remark 'snide', the history of UN operations
supports the comment. So, unless there is a REALLY REMARKABLE adjustment in UN
operations command, nothing will change.

Bye for now,
