      I have to say, RDF wise Transport would be most useful. They can go on any unit's camps and do their job exactly as described.
      I probably am wrong, sorry about that!!!

      Please PM me to correct me.

      But, not if I state an opinion, only if I state something as truth!!!

      I have bad opinions but I stick by them!!!

          "No, they're trying to fly the tank"

              Sadly many voters will vote depending on the corps their in, rather than the useful ness of that corps to the PDF.


              Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                  seems the MP's are finding it a tad cold!

                    I picked all of them. All have their purposes and uses - the weighting of the importance is impossible to measure as you'd firstly have to get rid of the corps one by one and measure the effect over several years in all different scenarios and secondly you'd have to be inside the mind of every person that is either in the DF or comes into contact with them (say, on peacekeeping missions etc) to measure what the individual effect on the loss of that corps is on people.

                    Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
                    Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
                    Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

                      I wish this thread was a person. So it could be taken outside and shot in the face.

                        Look, even the most limited military eperience leads one to conclude that CIS is the most important corps, (and no, not a member, never has been). Operations is all about command and control, the ability to outhink your opponent, without CIS, artillery could'nt support infantry, Cav couldn't report sightings of enemy forces, transport wouldn't know were to move troops to or deliver supplies.

                        Look at Blitzkreig, german tanks had weaker armour and less powerful guns than either French or Russian ones in 1940/41, but performed magnificantly, the reason being that all german tanks had a radio unlike thier opponents. The failures of first world war generals have also been put down to the fact that they lacked effective command and control, and couldn't reactly quickly enough.

                          Your argument falls down based on the fact that all your examples are handled by the organic Signals Platoons/Troops/Sections in the Bn/Regt/Sqn/Coy, and not by CIS types. CIS do a lot more than SINCGARS - they're interested in Bde level and above, not low level voice nets.

                          Besides, the Womens Auxiliary Balloon Corps is far more important.

                            Its a moot argument

                            ALL corps are essential to the Defence Forces

                            very few could or would survive without the other Corps
                            Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
                            Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
                            The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
                            The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
                            The best lack all conviction, while the worst
                            Are full of passionate intensity.

                              I'm sure we'd manage without the MPs.
