". Militiamen and even Army Cadets were routinely flown to NATO exercises in Germany, Norway and Alaska to participate in realistic training, as the perceived threat of Warsaw Pact military aggression was felt to be high."

Does anyone have a source for the comment about Army Cadets being flown to NATO exercises? its sounds highly unlikely any country would waste money sending cadets to conduct training in another country..

Please sign your name to comments like this. I've removed your edits as vandalism. There are photos of Army Cadets in training with the RCR in Germany at my website at www.canadiansoldiers.com as well as interview notes with one of the cadets who deployed. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't make edits.Michael Dorosh 04:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regiment Verbage

Small question so I don't step on any toes. For The Calgary Highlanders are a Land Force Reserve Infantry Regiment, headquartered at Mewata Armouries in Calgary, Alberta, Canada., Calgary Highlanders is in effect just the name of the regiment, right? So it'd be "is" not "are" in line with the a Land Force Reserve Infantry Regiment. Food for thought since I don't know the proper military naming system but thought it curious.

[edit] Mortar Platoon

The Pittaway and Lyster stuff added to the page is really not germaine to the history of the battalion as a whole; see the guideline on "wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information." A seperate article on Lyster and Pittaway might be in order, but there is little reason to give anything but passing mention to the actions of one platoon (most of whom were not engaged in the fighting) for what amounted to a few hours for the war, since the article is about the history of 10,000 men covering a span of 100 years.129.128.190.151 14:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
