Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE 2018
recently took place from May 13th to 24th
at the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre
in Wainwright, Alberta.
We're joined by Lieutenant-Colonel Mark Leach,
Chief of Staff of the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre,
to learn more about the exercise.
Hello, Sir. Can you please explain the purpose
of Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE?
Thank you for your question, yes I can.
The purpose of MAPLE RESOLVE
is to train battlegroup-sized organizations
to certify them at their level of readiness,
such that they then become certified from the Canadian Army,
and the government can then deploy them
to anywhere in the world should they desire.
What was your role specific to the training exercise?
As Chief of Staff here at the
Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre,
my role is to coordinate and synchronize
the staff on behalf of the commander.
In this particular case, for this specific execution,
planning and design of MAPLE RESOLVE.
Who participated in the exercise?
This year, the largest contingent of course
is our own Canadian Armed Forces,
which is 5 Brigade based out of Valcartier, Quebec,
followed by approximately 1500 soldiers
from the United States Army,
Reserve and National Guard,
a smaller contingent from the U.K.,
and even a smaller contingent from Australia.
What kinds of activities did members conduct
and how will this benefit the Canadian Army?
The soldiers are going to participate
in a 14 day force on force exercise,
simulated with our weapons effect simulator.
They'll start the exercise doing stability operations,
they'll then transition to more defensive scenarios,
followed by the third phase of the exercise,
which is offensive operations.
Lieutenant-Colonel Mark Leach, thank you for joining us Sir.
Thank you very much.
The Royal Canadian Air Force and aerospace engineers
from the National Research Council Canada
are conducting wind tunnel testing on CF-18 sniper pods.
Lessons learned from recent operations
found that Royal Canadian Air Force pilots
would have a better view of possible targets
if the sniper pod was mounted in the centre of the aircraft
on the lower fuselage.
Researchers are testing this configuration
to measure the loads and vibrations on the device
during take-off, landing, and low speed operations.
When testing is complete,
the data will be analyzed,
followed by an in-air test flight in Cold Lake, Alberta.
If successful, the pods will be moved on all 75 aircraft
in the fleet.
In addition to being a targeting device,
the pods can also assist in search and rescue operations
in difficult terrain and environments.
Before we go, a reminder that May 29th
is the International Day of UN Peacekeepers,
a time when all Canadians and partner nations
honour the selfless work of peacekeepers around the world.
We remember those who have lost their lives
for the cause of peace
in some of the world's most volatile regions.
That's it for us. Thank you so much for watching.
See you next time…
