Personnel from HQ ARRC participate in Adventure Training.
Team building is the cornerstone of any successful military unit.
Last week June 22 to June 26 service members from the headquarters participated in Exercise RIDGEMASTER in Wales, along the Pembrokeshire coast. Personnel from the UK, French and German contingent were among the nations participating in the exercise; HQ ARRC's annual adventure training exercise.
RIDGEMASTER is a team building exercise coordinated bt Lt Commander Guy Richards, HQ ARRC, Support Division. The exercise gives the nations a chance to bond with other services and nations.
"Ridgemaster gets people away from their desk," said Lt Cdr Richards. "It allows participants to challenge themselves both mentally and physically, as well as develop team skills and leadership skills which is expected of military personnel," he added.
The exercise allowed participants to not only work as a combined team in the different elements, but also to interact with partner nations serving from the Navy, Army and Royal Air Force.
The five-day exercise comprised of mountain biking, sea kayaking and rock climbing.
Lt Co. Thorsten has been with ARRC since September 2014 working in the G5 cell.
He said "The exercise was a great opportunity to get out and provided a great amount of challenges as well".
"This is a great opportunity for us to practice and learn more about our strengths and weaknesses while simultaneously building team camaraderie," said Thorsten. "I would encourage people from the entire staff to participate in the Adventure Training," said the German officer.

Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 14 sees Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC) tested whilst it commands two divisional and one brigade headquarters from across Europe and North America. The exercise swells the 450-strong headquarters to close to 1000 personnel and is designed to ensure the Innsworth-based NATO headquarters is ready for any potential short-notice call-up it may receive in 2015.
The exercise is being conducted at RAF St. Mawgan, Cornwall, UK, during November 2014.
Participating in this exercise are units and troops from ARRC Partner Nations Czech Republic, Canada, Italy, the United States, as well as personnel from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and others – all-in-all totaling some 2000 military and civilian personnel.
Additionally, FUSION will present the headquarters with an opportunity to further develop training the ARRC’s capability as a NATO Force Structure Joint Task Force Headquarters.
An operational concept conceived by NATO, the JTF builds a land-centric headquarters, like the ARRC, into an element capable of commanding an entire military theatre of operations. For ARRC, this means adding both air and maritime personnel to its structure so that it can command air, land, and sea troops. To this end, military personnel from NATO Air and Naval forces will train with the ARRC and its many subordinate units for this exercise.
NATO has tasked the ARRC to train this way because in 2015 the HQ will be one of the first NATO JTF’s held by NATO for short-notice, rapid recall tasking.

Thousands of National Guard Citizen Soldiers and -Airmen from all over the country to participate in military exercises at Volk Field and Fort McCoy, Wisc., The annual ‘Patriot Exercise’ brings in coalition forces from as far away as the Netherlands for combat training and a homeland defense scenario. The exercise started July 12, 2009, and is set to end July 27.
On Tuesday 21st June 2022, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service hosted Exercise Mitchell, a large-scale training exercise at their Bury Training and Safety Centre.
The exercise focused on testing the multi-agency operational response to a CBRNE incident by working with partners and volunteers.
Volunteers were on hand to play the part of casualties following a chemical incident on a tram. Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), Transport for Greater Manchester (TFfG) and other partners responded to the incident.
The exercise commenced with joint working between emergency service control rooms in the early stages of the incident, with several calls being made on 999 calls reporting an incident had occurred on the tram.
It took the form of a multi-agency response to the incident in the morning, working with GMP and NWAS. Later in the afternoon crews also set up and tested the Mass Decontamination Unit, helping volunteers through the process.
This training helps to reinforce understanding of different agencies roles and responsibilities during the response to such an incident and validate learning from the response to previous Major Incidents in Greater Manchester. The exercise also reinforced JESIP principles and procedures to help embed multi-agency working amongst Greater Manchester and regional partners.
Further elements of the exercise will take place later in the year, focusing on the Strategic Coordinating Group (SCG) and Tactical Coordinating Group (TCG) elements of a Major Incident.
The overall exercise helped to test the multi-agency response at the Strategic, Tactical and Operational levels including looking at the operational response, Local Resilience Forum procedures and interoperability between organisations.

Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service's first training exercise on board a ship has been hailed a success.
Crews from around the county were called to Wisbech Port on Wednesday evening (Oct 19) for a simulated fire in the engine room of a 3,000 tonne Russian ship, with casualties and persons overboard.
The Incident Command Unit from Huntingdon attended along with crews from Wisbech and Huntingdon. Crews from Dogsthorpe with specialist in-water training also attended, together with two crews from Outwell and West Walton in Norfolk.
Twenty-five firefighters had to locate and gain access to the ship’s engine room where the fire was located and carry out a search and rescue of all on-board casualties and extinguish all fires.
Dogsthorpe firefighters wearing drysuits used an inflatable boat to locate and rescue three casualties in the water, working alongside two crews from Fenland District Council’s Harbour Authority, who also had three members of staff shoreside, including Harbour Master Jamie Hemming and a representative from Fenland District Council’s Health and Safety Department.
Exercise Poseidon, as it was referred to throughout the exercise, saw dummies thrown into the water some distance from the ship, which was moored at the harbour in Nene Parade, close to the town centre.
Hazards faced by the crews included narrow passageways, trip hazards with ropes and a potential to fall in the water.
On-board operations took place in dark, narrow passageways with one room filled with smoke. Firefighters searching for bodies in the River Nene worked in night-time conditions.
Although Wisbech firefighters have attended a fire on board a ship before, it was over the border in Norfolk.
Wednesday night’s Exercise Poseidon, however, was Cambridgeshire’s first in-county training exercise on board a ship.
Watch Commander Phil Pilbeam, from Wisbech Station, spent eight weeks planning the event with Crew Commander Tim Carr.
“I’m really pleased with how things went. It all went really smoothly.”
He said the exercise provided a unique opportunity for firefighters to train on board a ship.
"Firefighters in Cambridgeshire are well trained and knowledgeable in house fires, factory fires and Road Traffic Collisions etc. However, a ship fire is unique. It's in a confined space, it's made of metal and it's a lot hotter because it's a metal container.
"Ships have an unfamiliar layout to crews. They can be very complex in their layout and this was a unique opportunity for all the crews to attend and to put these different skills into practice."
WC Pilbeam said the exercise had raised some good learning points.
“The inflatable boat from Dogsthorpe was not powerful enough for a tidal area. It was fine going with the tide but not against it. It had to be towed by the two boats from the Harbour Authority.
“Also, the crew set up lots of hose reels to help us out but we couldn’t use them because the couplings didn’t fit ours so we will be talking to the Harbour Master and our Operational Support Group to bring in some specialist hose reels for the harbour.”
He said communication with the nine-strong Russian crew on board the ship, had proved challenging.
“There were definitely language barriers that were an issue. We would ask what we wanted to get across and they would try and put across what they wanted. There were lots of hand signals and lots of pointing and gesturing.”
Despite some of the difficulties faced, he said the whole exercise, from time of call-out to when the crews returned to their stations, took three hours, which was what he had expected.
Harbour Master Jamie Hemming, of Fenland District Council, said with about forty cargo ships arriving at Wisbech Port each year there was a ‘real chance’ of a fire on board a ship so training exercises like this were really helpful.
“There’s a real chance of fire on board a ship. We are the only Port in Cambridgeshire so for Wisbech it is a serious scenario so from that point of view it was good to see the guys working on something a little bit out of their comfort zone.
“The joint exercise went extremely well and it was reassuring for us as a Harbour Authority to see the whole thing co-ordinated in such a professional and timely manner. It will stand us all in good stead should a similar real incident occur.”
Jamie said the Harbour Authority was keen to see more training exercises on board ships in the future.
“I would like to see another training exercise on board a ship at least once or twice a year as it’s a very proactive approach.”
The majority of boats coming into Wisbech arrive from the Baltics carrying timber and leave with scrap metal for Spain.

More than 100 Army Reserve soldiers from across 38 Canadian Brigade Group took to the sub-arctic about 30 kilometres outside Churchill, Manitoba for Exercise NORTHERN BISON from 14-21 February. This training event is one of several steps to increasing the Army's northern capability. In response to the growing strategic importance of Canada's Arctic Region, the Canada First Defence Strategy mandates significant Canadian
Forces presence in the Arctic. While it is anticipated the majority of Arctic operations will be predominantly air or maritime focused, there remains a requirement for an effective ground response. 38 Canadian Brigade Group is comprised of all Army Reserve units from Thunder Bay, Ontario to the Saskatchewan/Alberta border.

Cet événement lié à l’instruction est l’une des nombreuses étapes visant l’accroissement de la capacité de l’Armée de terre dans le Nord. Compte tenu de l’importance stratégique croissante de la région arctique du Canada, la Stratégie de défense Le Canada d’abord prévoit une augmentation considérable de la présence des Forces canadiennes dans l’Arctique. On s’attend à ce que la majorité des opérations dans l’Arctique soient menées par voie aérienne ou maritime, mais on a tout de même besoin d’une capacité d’intervention terrestre efficace. Le 38 GBC est formé des unités de la Réserve de l’Armée de terre situées entre Thunder Bay, en Ontario, et la frontière de la Saskatchewan et de l’Alberta.
