I have a question for you.
Where do you see the need for mech war assets? For us Canuckians, obviously Europe and now Afghanistan but outside of the Korean War, your deployments have mostly been infantry centric and in the case of Vietnam, jungle warfare.
In which case, air insert seem to be the way to go, ie towed pieces. Truck mounted howitzers are great, if you have roads but come rock, mud, and big holes, they're next to useless.
SPHs are next to impossible in jungle. Your white paper stated that you need to sustain a brigade outside of Australia indefinitely but mostly infantry and engineers, at most mech infanteers. Very few mention of tanks and artillery. So, what is the operational picture?
