When I noticed the low hanging cloud over the city, I made an effort to head downtown to capture this prominent Calgary landmark. Mewata Armoury was finished in 1918 and is still in use today: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mewata_Armouries

 

I had a distinct vision in mind for this image - inspired by Ian Brahman's "Arc de Triomphe". Check it out here: www.flickr.com/photos/ianbramham/8361568428/in/photostream

This Canadian Armed Forces helicopter had just taken off at Greater Moncton International Airport, and was flying directly away from me. I suspect this is a rare angle at which to capture a flying helicopter.

Aizkavēšanas un aizsardzības operācijā, kas mācību “Namejs” laikā 27.augustā norisinājās Vecumnieku novadā, bija iesaistīta Sauszemes spēku Mehanizētā kājnieku brigāde, Zemessardzes 1.Rīgas brigāde un Kanādas vadītā daudznacionālā kaujas grupa. Nosacītais pretinieks – Čehijas un Polijas bruņoto spēku karavīri ar kaujas tehniku un atbalsta ieročiem.

 

Vecumniekos karavīri un zemessargi bija izvērsušies divos objektos un to aizstāvība bija vienību galvenais uzdevums. Uzbrukumu sākotnēji aizkavēja Mehanizētās kājnieku brigādes 1.mehanizētais kājnieku bataljons. Pēc tam objektu aizsardzību veic Studentu bataljona kaujas grupa kopā ar Kanādas vadīto daudznacionālo kaujas grupu.

 

Mācības apmeklēja, ar brigāžu komandieriem un plānotājiem tikās arī aizsardzības ministrs Raimonds Bergmanis un Nacionālo bruņoto spēku komandieris ģenerālleitnants Leonīds Kalniņš.

Otrdien, 10.jūlijā, Latvijas armijas 99. dzimšanas dienā Ādažu bāzi apmeklēj Ministru prezidents Māris Kučinskis, Kanādas premjerministrs Džastins Trudo (Justin Trudeau), aizsardzības ministrs Raimonds Bergmanis, Kanādas aizsardzības ministrs Hardžits Sadžans (Harjit Sajjan), Kanādas ārlietu ministre Kristija Frīlanda (Chrystia Freeland), Nacionālo bruņoto spēku komandieris ģenerālleitnants Leonīds Kalniņš un Kanādas Bruņoto spēku komandieris ģenerālis Džonatans Vānss (Jonathan H. Vance).

 

Latvijas un NATO paplašinātās klātbūtnes Latvijā kaujas grupas karavīri apmeklēja svētku mielastu veltītu Latvijas armijas dzimšanas dienai, ko sarūpējusi Latvijas aizsardzības nozares vadība.

 

Par godu Latvijas un Kanādas delegācijas vizītei un Latvijas armijas dzimšanas dienai Ādažu bāzē notika izvietoto vienību svinīgā stāšanās un svecīšu nolikšana, godinot kritušo karavīru piemiņu.

 

Vizītes laikā abu valstu delegācijas iepazinās ar Sauszemes spēku Mehanizētās kājnieku brigādes spējām un uzdevumiem, Ādažu bāzes infrastruktūru, kā arī tikās ar NATO paplašinātās klātbūtnes Latvijā kaujas grupas sastāvā dienošajiem Kanādas karavīriem, lai pārrunātu viņu dienesta gaitu Latvijā.

 

NATO paplašinātās klātbūtnes kaujas grupu izveides un izvietošanas mērķis ir veicināt NATO īstenoto atturēšanu un stiprināt alianses aizsardzību, demonstrējot alianses solidaritāti un apņēmību aizstāvēt aliansi pret jebkāda veida agresijas izpausmēm. Svinīgā NATO paplašinātās klātbūtnes Latvijā kaujas grupas sagaidīšanas ceremonija notika 2017. gada 19. jūnijā Ādažu bāzē.

 

Daudznacionālo kaujas grupu Latvijā vada Kanāda, un to veido vairāk nekā 1000 karavīru no Albānijas, Čehijas, Itālijas, Polijas, Kanādas, Slovākijas, Slovēnijas un Spānijas, kas rotācijas kārtībā pilda dienesta pienākumus Latvijā, piedaloties mācībās ar Nacionālajiem bruņotajiem spēkiem, tādējādi uzlabojot savietojamību ar reģionālajiem sabiedrotajiem, lai spētu reaģēt uz drošības vides izaicinājumiem.

 

10.jūlijā Latvijas armija atzīmēs 99. dzimšanas dienu. Aizsardzības ministrija aicina ikvienu valsts iedzīvotāju piedalīties armijas dibināšanas gadadienai veltītajā akcijā „Pasveicini karavīru!”.

Du 18 au 29 avril 2012, des opérations de cordon et fouille sont effectuées par différentes équipes de combat, constituer de l’infanteries, des ingénieurs et des blindées.

 

Depuis le 10 avril dernier, plus de 3500 soldats provenant du 5e Groupe-brigade mécanisé du Canada (5 GBMC) s’entrainent dans les secteurs de la Garnison Gagetown (N.-B.) dans le cadre de l'exercice LION INTREPIDE, et ce, jusqu'au 9 mai 2012. Avec ses reliefs diversifiés, la Garnison Gagetown offre aux militaires de Valcartier un milieu d'entrainement différent et un plus vaste terrain de manœuvres.

L’exercice LION INTREPIDE 2012 permet aux unités du 5 GBMC, ainsi qu’à ses unités affiliées, de renouer avec différents concepts de guerre se concentrant désormais sur des techniques d'entrainement militaire plus classiques. Cette réorientation est essentielle pour l'accomplissement de futures missions de combat, d'aide humanitaire, de maintien de la paix ou autre
