International Mine Countermeasures Exercise, Bahrain.
THE biggest exercise ever staged to deal with the threat of mines is under way in the Gulf - with the Royal Navy at its heart.
Six ships and more than 600 sailors are Britain's input to the two-week-long test of the response of the world's nations and navies should warring countries - or terrorists - try to choke the sea lanes using mines.
Thirty-five ships, diving teams and mine warfare experts from every continent except Antarctica accepted the invitation to the second IMCMEX - International Mine Counter-Measures EXercise - which is being staged from the waters of the Gulf to the Arabian Sea.
The aim is to show that mines pose a real and present danger to the safe passage of shipping - demonstrated as recently as 2011 off Libya when pro-Gaddafi forces tried to block the port of Misrata, and the Royal Navy dealt with it - and many of the world's navies are determined to ensure that maritime trade flows freely.
Four Gulf-based British minehunters - HMS Ramsey, Shoreham, Quorn and Atherstone - plus their mother ship RFA Cardigan Bay and new destroyer HMS Dragon, providing escort for these and some of the other international vessels taking part.
The Britons are joined by the full panoply of mine warfare experts from across the globe: American minehunting helicopters, specialist dive teams, warships and robot submarines.
The exercise follows the inaugural IMCMEX last September, which was billed as the biggest of its kind. The fact that this spring's repeat is on a grander scale, says Cdre Simon Ancona, the Royal Navy officer overseeing the exercise, shows how seriously the world takes the threat of mines.

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.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

I originally planned on taking Ardyn out to try out these adorable new sweatpants I bought, but she wasn't really into the whole idea of 'exercising'.

This is one of those places you can stop during your run to do pushups and pullups and situps and all kinds of other ups. Except it's sorta falling apart, but my son insisted we stop here so he could play.
Was using this Jfit Large exercise ball as my computer chair for a couple days, i'm not even 190lbs and it just exploded with me on it. I ended up on my back i'm ok but that was friggin loco loud, scary and kind of funny. Now where's my lawyers number?
Members of the 5th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (5CRPG) and soldiers from The Royal Newfoundland Regiment explored some of Newfoundland's most remote and rugged territory September 5 to 10 when they conducted a sovereignty patrol across Newfoundland’s Northern Peninsula.
The patrol, called Exercise LONG STRIDE, gave 5CRPG better awareness and navigational knowledge of the remote inland routes on the peninsula. The 13 members on the patrol set out from Jackson's Arm, travelling by long liner to the abandoned outport of Great Harbour Deep. From there, they hiked 62 kilometres overland across the Long Range Mountains to Hawke's Bay on the far side of the peninsula. The trek took five days and followed the historic route once used to connect the coastal communities.

Du 5 au 10 septembre, des membres du 5e Groupe de patrouille des Rangers canadiens (5 GPRC) et des soldats du Royal Newfoundland Regiment ont exploré l’une des régions les plus éloignées et accidentées de TerreÂNeuve et Labrador lorsqu’ils ont effectué une patrouille d’affirmation de la souveraineté à travers la péninsule Northern de TerreÂNeuve et Labrador.
Cette patrouille, qui portait le nom d’exercice LONG STRIDE, a permis au 5 GPRC d’acquérir une meilleure connaissance des routes de l’arrière pays de la péninsule et de pouvoir mieux s’orienter dans cette région. Les patrouilleurs ont quitté Jackson's Arm à bord d’un palangrier et se sont rendus jusqu’à l’avantÂport abandonné de Great Harbour Deep. De là , ils ont marché 62 kilomètres à travers les monts Long Range jusqu’à Hawke’s Bay, située en aval de la péninsule. Durant leur périple de quatre jours, ils ont emprunté l’ancienne route qui reliait autrefois les communautés côtières.
