[edit] More Research Required

The section on "Important Engagements" needs fixing, after all WWI and WWII were not engagements but wars containing many engagements. brill 14:19, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Most of them could probably just be replaced by a list of the unit's battle honours. Cjrother 18:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Modern operations

The article states: "Modern operations include Cambodia, Sierra Leone, the Balkans, Middle East and Afghanistan."

I was not aware that any militia units have been mobalised since WW2. Is the article perhaps refering to individual volunteers? I will probably change this if no one objects. Cjrother 18:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

AFAIK, they haven't; whoever added this probably means that personnel from that unit have been tasked on the applicable missions -- which could easily be said of almost every unit in the Primary Reserve. Chop away. --SigPig 19:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I've removed that sentence. Cjrother 20:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Historical list of alliances

The QOR's Regimental Alliances are a source of great pride. There should be a listing of historical alliances as well, which I had put in but an anonymous edit removed. I would like the other contributors to weigh in.

Perhaps I could seperate the historical and current alliances and make it more clear that way. Ng.j 19:17, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parachute

"Several reserve units have soldiers who have completed the Canadian Army's Basic Parachutist Course, but none can bring Parachute Instructors, Jumpmasters, parachute riggers, LZ/DZ controllers, and aerial delivery specialists together like the QOR."

Can the statement be qualified? It seems more of an advertisement than a definition.

"Members of the QOR have also been sent on the arduous Patrol Pathfinder Course." This statement also gives the impression that the Patrol Pathfinder course is not open to members of the CF outside of the QOR. Most CF regiments can claim to have members with this course.

The entire "Role" entry is more of a self-congratulatory brag than a definition. Has the QOR has been given a different role from any other Reserve Infantry Regiment in doctrine? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.137.245.199 (talk) 05:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC).

"Most CF regiments can claim to have members with this course."

Entirely untrue. Only the three Regular Force units, plus CANSOFCOM have PPFs.
