Dismantling Airborne Regiment Will Cost Taxpayers Millions
Ottawa experts say the plan to disband the Canadian Airborne Regiment could cost taxpayers four million dollars or more. Moving hundreds of soldiers from Petawawa to bases in Winnipeg and Calgary may exceed ten thousand dollars per trooper, plus transport and storage of gear, and shipping up to 200 jeeps and trucks. Officials stress the major expense is moving people and families, with equipment moves depending on the chosen option to maintain parachute capability. The 650-strong Airborne draws from three regiments across Petawawa Gagetown Valcartier and Calgary Winnipeg.
