Canadian Forces Search and Rescue Technicians apply first aid to simulated victims at a simulated aircraft disaster scene during Canadian Force’s EXERCISE TRILLIUM RESPONSE near Cochrane, Ontario.
Search and Rescue (SAR) in Canada is a challenging and demanding task, and Canadian Forces Search and Rescue Technicians (SAR Techs) are highly-trained specialists providing the on-scene medical attention and rescue for aviators, mariners and others in distress in remote or hard-to-reach areas.
Each year, Joint Task Force Central (JTFC) along with partner government agencies, conducts a major field training EXERCISE in the province of Ontario to test its ability to provide military assistance to civil authorities. Named the TRILLIUM RESPONSE series of EXERCISEs, these address a range of scenarios under varying environmental conditions. EXERCISE TRILLIUM RESPONSE 2012 provided a realistic and challenging scenario for the soldiers and aircrews of JTFC, while testing JTFC’s command and control in a partnered domestic response. The EXERCISE revolved around reported aircraft crashes outside of Cochrane in the Mistango Lake area, and northwest of Hearst near Constance Lake.
