The Army we need is taking shape. At this year's Senior Army Leadership Symposium, we focused on turning our momentum into lasting capability. Through investment in our people, modernization, and readiness, we're building a stronger Army for Canada.

This is basically every person I've ever talked with LUV wishlist platform. If there is one variant desired it is this.
🇸🇪 Series deliveries of the new single cab, flatbed variant of TGB 24 (Terrängbil 24) 4x4 military vehicle to the Swedish Armed Forces will commence next year, Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) announced. @Forsvarsmakten The new variant is also the first to go into production with new Heavy Duty axles, which provide a significantly increased load capacity. The single cab variant, like the already delivered double cab, comes with a height-adjustable canopy with folding and removable bed flaps. An additional capability of the single cab is the interface to carry a ten-foot ISO container, as well as outlets to power equipment on the bed via the vehicle's generators and batteries. The bed is also reinforced to accommodate weapon systems like a 120mm grenade launcher. The TGB 24 single cab shares the same drivetrain, driver environment and protection level as the rest of the vehicles in the family, which reduces the need for driver training and spare parts at the Armed Forces. More variants of the TGB 24 are under development, including command and medical vehicles, as well as two new flatbed variants with an extra axle and six-wheel drive. TGB 24 (Terrängbil 24, Terrain Vehicle 24) is being built by Finnish manufacturer Sisu Auto based on its Sisu GTP platform. In 2025, the Swedish Armed Forces received the first TGB 24 vehicles, a troop transport vehicle and a flatbed truck with a double cab, and the service started the training of instructors, drivers and workshop personnel on these vehicles. @SisuAuto #Sweden #TGB24 #SisuGTP #Forsvarsmakten

Day 1 of the first Advanced Land Power Studies (ALPS) course is complete. We finished with blind chess as an intro to wargaming & decision making under uncertainty. Outstanding students. Looking forward to seeing them tackle even more complex challenges over the coming months.

The @CanadianArmy is absorbing new equipment and capabilities at a pace that would have seemed extraordinary a decade ago. The challenge now is ensuring how the Army thinks, trains, and fights evolves quickly enough to make effective use of them. canadianarmytoday.com/winnin…

Earlier this year, @CanadianArmy began the transition from regionally aligned divisions to a new functional structure: a Manoeuvre Division, a Defence of Canada Division, and a Support Division. The fourth, a training formation, is also undergoing change. canadianarmytoday.com/traini…

It's Drone hunting season! Canadian soldiers got to practice their counter-uncrewed aircraft system (CUAS) drills with a combination of CUAS technology and good-old shotgun. Warfare evolves, and we're meeting the challenge.

When Canada plays host to an event like the G7, it triggers a rare approval process within the @CanadianForces—use of force on domestic soil. As JTF Cadence was standing up in the fall of 2024, one of its first priorities was rules of engagement. canadianarmytoday.com/integr…
