4 CMBG was probably the most political unit's in all of NATO . It was basically a security blanket almost militarily insignificant. It reassured Mainland Europe that Canada and by extension the both the US and UK had their backs.

In Canada politicians said it demonstrated our commitment to our Allies.

To the Army , well  that it's whole universe every thing else was either in support of or a distraction from.

Quite frankly the more I reflect and think on it.The Cast brigade begins to make more sense.

It would have allowed Canada to have a larger role and impact both a political and military point of view.

And it it would have had more flexibility.

Desert Shield would different from a Canadian view. We could have an air mobile sea transportable Brigade ready to go in less then a week or so.

So many possibilities.
