Change of command ceremony of the Canadian-led multinational NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battlegroup Latvia
A ceremony was held today at the Ādaži Cultural Center near Riga Latvia, marking the change of command of the Canadian-led multinational NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battlegroup Latvia from its outgoing Commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Wade Rutland, to its incoming Commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Sean French. This event highlights the end of the first rotation of NATO eFP BG troops deployed to Latvia. Along with the other three eFP BGs in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland, these BGs are a demonstration of NATO solidarity, determination and ability to defend the Alliance against possible aggression. As part of the Alliance posture, these measures are defensive in nature, proportionate, consistent with our international commitments and demonstrate our respect for the rules-based European security architecture.

12.jūlijā Ādažu bāzē svinīgā ceremonijā NATO paplašinātās klātbūtnes Latvijā kaujas grupas komandiera amatā stājās pulkvežleitnants Stīvs Makbets (Steve MacBeth), nomainot līdzšinējo komandieri pulkvežleitnantu Šonu Frenču (Sean French). Tādējādi tika noslēgta otrā Latvijā izvietotās kaujas grupas karavīru rotācija.
Pasākums tika veltīts arī Čehijas un Slovākijas kontingentu karavīru svinīgajai uzņemšanai NATO kaujas grupas sastāvā.
Svinīgo ceremoniju apmeklēja Aizsardzības ministrijas valsts sekretārs Jānis Garisons, Nacionālo bruņoto spēku Apvienotā štāba priekšnieks/Nacionālo bruņoto spēku komandiera vietnieks brigādes ģenerālis Ivo Mogiļnijs.
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.
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.

Not often you see a military Herc next to the terminal at a civilian airport, let alone three.
UPDATE NOV 2023
The Herc was been scrapped in around 2014. The Navajo is still current though in new colors, has been owned since May 2006 and is Nanaimo based and seems to be a shuttle between the two airports as it is regularly still parked in this very spot.

After ingesting a miniscule rock into the CC-115 Buffaloe's pitot static system during takeoff from Prince Rupert, we required an escort back to Comox when we encountered IFR conditions. Not 100% sure what altitude we hit, but am reasonably certain we exceeded the Buffalo's service ceiling of 25,000? 446 met us above the cloud and together we made our way to Comox.
The main gun on the HMCS Vancouver -- a single Bofors 57mm Mk 2.
The Bofors 57 mm has a 120-round magazine and a rate of fire of about 220 shots/minute. The rate of fire and the ability to change ammunition types quickly makes the gun suitable for engaging both aerial and naval targets. (Wikipedia)

It is customary during Basic Training to be taught drill throughout the cousre, but during the first five weeks, the most crucial movements are the ones being learned. To signify that the recruit is still in this phase, the beret that they wear bears no emblem at all. Upon the completion of the fifth week, and with a pass on the drill test, the recruit is issued a badge for his beret. This is to show that they are making progress with their drill and overall deportment. It shows the Crown, as a symbol to our allegience to the Queen; the ring of Maple Leaves, to signify our Canadian heritage; the Eagle is a symbol of the Air Force; the swords are a symbol of the Army; and the anchor is where I am... Navy.
