Default Linebacker POS

Well, Dave,

We will just have to agree to disagree on this issue. I note with interest that your POS beat all other contenders in the competition... and note with pride that there still isn't a more capable equivalent available today.

As for the disposition of Cdn ADATS, some were last used in the recent past during a field training ex with the Direct Fire Support Regiment, and Ex Potent Knight before that.

The remaining ADATS are kept in class S condition at the OEM and are part of a number of upgrade projects - of which I am associated.

The Army website lists ADATS in its equipment page - see http://www.armee.forces.gc.ca/lf/Eng...=29&uSection=1 - they are part of the Cdn Army's transformation plan and will eventually be replaced by the MMEV starting in 2009, at which time ADATS may be sold as scrap or put into museums.

I have fond memories of Ft Blitz, the home of the US "Verein fur Raumschiffahrt" and Operation Paperclip. Good to hear from a Ozzlefinch wrangler.

Cheers!
