Approximately 500 soldiers from 37 Canadian Brigade Group (37 CBG) comprised of Canadian Army Reserve units in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador, participated in Ex MR 12. The exercise provides Canadian participants the opportunity to train side by side in a multi-national task force environment. Units from the U.S. Army, Navy, Army National Guard and Air Force will participate in the training providing the Canadians the opportunity to operate and train with their U.S. counterparts in an effort to develop their interoperability skills and build strong ties.
Ex MR 12 provided the participants with the opportunity to apply lessons learned during previous training to further develop their abilities to respond to situations as they happen and prepare them for future deployment at home and abroad.

Murai Urban Training Facility to Hone the SAF's Networked Urban Operations Capability.
Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean launched the Murai Urban Training Facility (MUTF) and witnessed about 500 soldiers securing an objective in an urban operations exercise this afternoon. The exercise involved seven-man tactical sections which were equipped with the Advanced Combat Man System (ACMS).
The introduction of the ACMS is part of the 3rd Generation SAF's move to progressively provide tactical units with network capabilities. With the section commanders and team leaders equipped with the ACMS, the entire section becomes part of a larger network that is able to tap on the wider resources of the battalion and call for more responsive and precise fire support. These sections function not only as fighting units but also as ground sensors, tracking the positions of friendly and hostile forces and feeding images back to the command headquarters for enhanced command and control of the battlefield. With the ACMS, the section's situational awareness, lethality and survivability are enhanced.
Located within the existing Lim Chu Kang training area, the MUTF allows the SAF to conduct urban operations training in a realistic environment. It is built to resemble a typical town and offers a range of training scenarios from tactical engagements to combined arms manoeuvres, Other than buildings, the MUTF also has ancillary features like bus stops, traffic lights and overhead bridges. The facility will be equipped with tools that help simulate varying operational environments as well as a video monitoring and recording system to facilitate effective learning.

They are also introduced to CF operations in austere environments and to basic tactical planning and manœuvring. This aspect of training is physically and mentally challenging.

British soldier from the 13th Air Assault Support Regiment Sgt Major Neil Fraser, 36, from Glasgow, holds his weapong after taking part in the test firing prior to an operation to deliver supplies to several British Army Forward Operating bases (FOB) in Helmand Province on July 15, 2008 at their base in Camp Bastion in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The 13th Air Assault Support Regiment provides logistic support to the multi-national force in Helmand Province. The British drivers navigate hostile desert terrain to deliver combat supplies, ammunitions, food, water and engineering equipment. During a recent operation, drivers spent 48 hours avoiding enemy forces, mine fields and indirect fire. On return to Camp Bastion, vehicles are serviced immediately for further operations leaving little recreational time for the British soldiers who work in heat reaching 54 degrees celcius and drive on terrain without recognizable roads.

Bunker search uncovers enemy weapons
An airborne operation into an insurgent stronghold in Afghanistan has resulted in a significant find of weapons and bomb making equipment. The 12th Mechanized Brigade Reconnaissance Force (BRF), made up of soldiers and officers from the Light Dragoons, known as The Northern Cavalry, pushed into the area of Shorokay in the Upper Gereshk Valley as part of Operation Daas searching a complex bunker system.
Trooper Jamie Lough (24), of the Light Dragoons, said: “We were straight into patrolling through the caves and bunkers. It was incredibly dark and full of alleyways and crevices that we had to search. When we made the finds, it felt really good to get it all off the ground, out of the insurgents’ hands as it’s going to save a lot more lives. 29th August 2012

Les photos se suivent dans cette ordre : en premier le matériel, l’armement puis les tiflu ( tireur fusil à lunette), ensuite les snipers de l’infanterie avec les fusiliers et les grenadiers, et pour finir les militaires professionnels de la PM et du DRA 10.
Les différentes fonctions dans l’Armée Suisse:
Le Tiflu (tireur fusil à lunette) est armé du Fass 90 avec l’ancienne lunette Kern 4x. Actuellement, ils sont répartis directement dans les groupes de combat (la patrouille d’exploration en a deux par exemple).
Tireur d’élite (TE) cette spécialité est présente seulement dans l’infanterie pour les formations de milice (fus et gren). Pour les fusiliers, ils sont recrutés parmi les meilleurs Tiflu sont envoyés à Isone suivre un cours spécial de 6 semaines. Ils sont armés du fusil finlandais Sako TRG 42 de 8,6 mm. Il y a une section de TE dans chaque bat fus, dans la compagnie d’appui. Outre ces formations de milices, il est bien évident que les formation professionnel de l’Armée comme la Sécurité Militaire ou le DRA 10 se forme sur cette arme.
Tireur de précision, ce sont essentiellement les grens qui font 4 semaines de plus (que le 6 pour les TE ) afin d’être formés sur une deuxième arme, le fusil français PGM Hecate II en 12,7 mm. Ce fusil est employé dans l’Armée Suisse uniquement à un usage anti véhicule ou matériel.
