Protection Brigade is what the US National Guard is renaming some of their Manouver Enhancement Brigades, so maybe similar to that? MPs, Comms, Networking infrastructure, Engineering, Int, Air Defence, CBRN, EW, etc, etc. A real mixed bag of enablers
From what he’s posted it seems like the Army is following in similar structured steps like the British Army except instead of having 2 separate divisions like the Brits (1 comprised of Mechanized Forces the other comprised of Light Forces) Army comd is making a Super Division where all of these forces are in a single division.
Fires Brigade - all our Arty is gonna be in a single Brigade and now act as a Division asset and not decentralized out to CMBGs, Sustainment Brigade - all our reg force Service Bn’s will be under a single Brigade (similar to the Brits so a literal Logistics Brigade), Protection Brigade sounds like Security Force Assistance Brigade (Brits had a concept going almost similar to what Americans had when they were going through idk how many restructuring iterations until they finally decided on what they wanted, only difference from the Americans was their SFA focused more on UN Mission so Stabilization Ops side of things than advise and assist / capacity building side)
But who knows this could quite literally be a Brigade whose sole purpose is to provide Personnel Protection at home or overseas.
We’re going to spend 5 Billion to refurbish 80 odd Leo 2s while Poland will spend 8.9 Billion CAD to buy 180 K2s.
One would hope that for $5 billion some new tanks are included too.
What the heck is a "Protection Brigade"? Never heard that term before.

GBAD lololol
Are u kidding me 🤣 they could have said Air Defence but no we need to be fancy
In all seriousness MJVD likely has it. You can see the Southern influence on some of the structure here, if you catch my drift.
Protection Bde will essentially hold Div assets: 4GS, 4 ESR, CIMIC, CBRN, EW, etc. It’s a rename of 6 CSSB.
I imagine it's a brigade where all of the Force Protection assets will be grouped together & deployed as required.
So military police, possibly a layered GBAD system (C-UAS, etc)
🤷♂️
no engineering brigade is interesting
Maybe Eng regiments remain in the CMBGs or are rolled into one of the new brigades? Or maybe part of this new support division?
CMBG = Canadian mechanized brigade?
Canadian Mechanized Brigade GROUP!
