The U. S. Army Soldier Systems Center... envisions a future smart uniform that "will be able to sense the warrior's surroundings and change color to blend in with the environment, or detect and repel chemical agents. "The uniform could also act as a "data-bus, "passing data and information from a wrist-mounted weapon to a helmet-mounted display.... These smart uniforms might also eventually possess micro-climate subsystems to keep the soldier warm in the cold, and cool in a hot environment. They could also have an embedded "physiological status monitoring system, "to keep track of the soldier's physical health. The data could be transmitted to medics or unit commanders, to watch out for dehydration and other potentially serious medical conditions. 2, record 1, English, - smart%20uniform

On October 12, 2007 Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the creation of an Independent Panel on Canada's Future Role in Afghanistan, which will review, analyse and make recommendations on Canada's engagement in Afghanistan beyond February 2009. The panel has been asked to consider four options, including : To continue training the Afghan army and police so that Canada can begin withdrawing its forces in February 2009; To focus on reconstruction and have forces from another country take over security in Kandahar; To shift Canadian security and reconstruction efforts to another region in Afghanistan; and To withdraw all Canadian military personnel except a minimal force to protect aid workers and diplomats. The panel may also identify and pursue additional options. 1, record 2, English, - Independent%20Panel%20on%20Canada%27s%20Future%20Role%20in%20Afghanistan

Le 12 octobre 2007, le premier ministre Stephen Harper a annoncé la création d'un groupe de travail indépendant sur le rôle futur du Canada en Afghanistan. Ce groupe examinera, analysera et fera des recommandations sur l'engagement du Canada au-delà de 2009. On a demandé au groupe d'examiner les quatre possibilités suivantes : continuer à entraîner l'armée et la police afghanes pour que le Canada puisse commencer, en février 2009, le retrait de ses forces; concentrer ses efforts sur la reconstruction et laisser les forces d'un autre pays prendre la relève en matière de sécurité à Kandahar; déployer les efforts canadiens en matière de sécurité et de reconstruction dans une autre région d'Afghanistan; retirer le personnel militaire canadien mais laisser une toute petite force pour protéger les travailleurs de l'aide et les diplomates. Le groupe pourra également identifier des options supplémentaires afin d'aider à diriger les politiques canadiennes. 1, record 2, French, - Groupe%20d%27experts%20ind%C3%A9pendant%20sur%20le%20r%C3%B4le%20futur%20du%20Canada%20en%20Afghanistan

In addition, in January 2000 the Minister announced the [Canadian Forces’(CF) ] intention to establish a combat-ready strike force ready to respond rapidly to global crises in the context of NATO or UN [United Nations] mandated missions. Central to achieving the capability will be strategic lift, an area where the CF has only limited resources. Its Hercules and Polaris aircraft are often overworked, and the CF has no dedicated sea lift assets. DND [Department of National Defence] has begun studies to determine the CF's future strategic lift requirements, one element of which will likely be an Afloat Logistics and Sealift Capability that will combine capabilities for fleet replenishment at sea, in-theatre support to joint forces ashore, and strategic lift for the army. 1, record 3, English, - strategic%20lift

En outre, en janvier 2000, le Ministre a annoncé l'intention des FC [Forces canadiennes] de mettre sur pied une force de frappe prête au combat et capable de réagir rapidement aux crises éclatant dans le monde, dans le cadre des missions organisées par l'OTAN ou l'ONU [Organisation des Nations Unies]. Le transport stratégique sera déterminant dans ce contexte; or, c'est un domaine où les ressources des FC sont limitées. Les avions Hercules et Polaris sont souvent utilisés jusqu'à l'excès, et les FC n'ont aucun navire spécialisé de transport maritime. Le MDN [ministère de la Défense nationale] a entrepris des études afin de cerner les besoins à venir des FC en matière de transport stratégique. Un des éléments de la solution éventuelle sera sans doute une capacité de soutien logistique à la mer et de transport maritime (ALSC), qui permettrait à la fois de réapprovisionner la flotte en mer et d'assurer le transport stratégique des unités terrestres et, dans le théâtre des opérations, un soutien à des forces interarmées déployées à terre. 1, record 3, French, - transport%20strat%C3%A9gique
