Talk:Disaster Assistance Response Team

message: Is there any source for this comment about Aileen Carroll voting against the DART team? I can't find anything on google about that. Sounds spurious, actually. Anyone? --DarrenBaker 15:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Which of Canadian Forces Disaster Assistance Response Team or Disaster Assistance Response Team should redirect to the other? Since the second is currently the most develloped, I'll redirect Canadian Forces Disaster Assistance Response Team to it until somebody decides something else. --Circeus 00:54, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
:Canadian Forces Disaster Assistance Response Team isn't the real name (although it is part of the Canadian forces).  Furthermore, this page has much more information than the other, and contains all the information in the other one.  I think it's fine for Canadian Forces Disaster Assistance Response Team to be a redirect. -Frazzydee|✍ 04:57, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Are the names acronyms? If not, I doubt the all-cap is needed. Also, can somebody try to dig up the name of the Sri Lankan operation? --Circeus 02:24, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
:I don't know if they're acronyms (I would assume not, because it doesn't say they are), but the official site (http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/operations/DART/back_e.asp) uses all-caps.  I would assume that that makes it justified for us to use all caps too, but if that's not enough of a reason, then feel free to change the mission names to Proper Case.
:As for the name of the Sri Lankan operation, thanks for making me look for it :).  This page says that it is Operation STRUCTURE, so I'll add that in. -Frazzydee|✍ 16:54, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: :With an annual budget of a mere $500,000, DART is the least funded unit in the Canadian Forces.
:I can think of at least a dozen or more Canadian Forces units which are funded less than DART.  Not that funding doesn't deserve to be mentioned, the assertion in this article just isn't accurate.Plasma east 21:05, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Hmm, I wonder what CBC's sources are for making such a quote.  There are many Primary Reserve units of the Canadian Forces which receive less than $0.5 million/year, and even some regular force units (ie. mothballed ships, etc.) - it all depends upon what they are using to define a "unit".  If I had the time, I'd call their ombudsman on that quote.Plasma east 16:11, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Doesnt the US government have DART?
:No, the closest things that the USA has to DART are various sections of FEMA. DART has always been Canadian. --Rob Kelk 21:33, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes - among others. The term Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) appears to be standard nomenclature. A quick web search shows that there are Disaster Assistance Response Teams within various organizations including the New York Fire Department , USAID Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance , Samaritan's Purse , and even local groups such as the Jewish Community Center of Staten Island . -- HugoHelp (talk) 00:20, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
