Preview of Exercise IRON TITAN Bulk Fuel Installation visit today, expertly constructed by @8EngrBde Sappers and Pet Ops from across @LogComd and 10QOGLR RLC.
@bootneck@8EngrBde@LogComd Hey there Royal. Army still need to rely on doing the bulky stuff well. We do indeed have a couple of innovations up the sleeve that are being looked atโฆ re purposing the RAFโs Tactical Refuelling Area, fuel cubes and โM-Seriesโ ctrs for example could all help fill this gap.
Interesting photos of heavy armour being loaded onto ADELAIDE and CHOULES for EX Sea Explorer. Keen to see follow-up photos of the Ship-Shore phase. https://t.co/iLLjLYzev6
@bootneck@RUSI_org @Strategyforwar1 If thatโs true, LAND need the CF strategy to deliberately reference that the future CF do NOT intend to engage in future proofing their Heavy Surf M capabilities. This clear intent will then help focus Army to develop its own reqโt. Current strategy dangerous no man land.
These container handlers and flatbed trucks are awesome workhorses in the Port. Could the current shortage of 20ft ISO ctrs should prompt @LogisticThinker to consider shipping more 40ft ISO ctrs to SPODs in future? @104Bde@thinkdefence
How many @UKArmyLogistics Combat Support Tankers does it take to fill a Strat RORO ship with F-76???surely MoD will invest in better expeditionary shore to ๐ข โฝ๏ธ capability soon. @thinkdefence @LogisticThinker
@Strategyforwar1 @thinkdefence@UKArmyLogistics @LogisticThinker We were late to be invited to the party but are now fully integrated thankfully. MEXEflote and heavy armour lift requirements front and centre.
@LogisticThinker Good question to answerโฆ. Consumption rates change especially in high intensity combat vs business as usual. Obsolescent components are the other blocker to this strategy. Others have mentioned LT which is the root of it all imo.
