when did they get them before 1993 or after, the 81mm tubes were bought for Regular Force in 1968 it was'nt untill 1993 and alot tubes and training for them were made avaible this was primary due 4 CMBG being disbanded, there 8 per infantry battalion that over half the supply just for Regular Force BN's, add in the spares held the BN's, tubes at three major battle schools and the infantry schools and your not looking alot of tubes avaible for reserve training, I knew some units had then lost then had them again and lost them ect depends on who need them I guess, I was a reservsit for eight years and I saw the tubes used with reserve crew only durring major ex in Meaford and Petawawa and Florida and those tubes were on loan from other units.
