Wainwright (Alb.), le 19 octobre 2012 - Le Général Walter Natynczyk, chef d’état-major de la Défense, s'adresse aux membres du quartier général de l'Exercice MAPLE RESOLVE.

L’Exercice MAPLE RESOLVE est un entraînement militaire qui a lieu au Centre canadien d’entraînement aux manœuvres (CCEM), à Wainwright (Alb.), du 4 octobre au 11 novembre 2012. Il s’agit d’une activité de formation stimulante axée sur les groupements interarmes pour fournir une formation complexe et de haut niveau à près de 3 000 soldats.

Pour le 5e Groupe-brigade mécanisé du Canada, le but de cet entraînement consiste ultimement à valider l’état final de préparation de la Force opérationnelle 3-12 (FO 3-12). Une fois cet état de préparation confirmé, la FO 3-12 sera mise en haute disponibilité opérationnelle, donc prête à répondre à toute demande de déploiement émise par le gouvernement du Canada, de novembre 2012 à juillet 2013

My last exam at UWS will take place on Monday morning at 8:30AM. As I make the journey to campus alone, I'm going to remember all the people who have helped me along my 6 years of tertiary education, from TAFE to UWS. Then, when I'm in the exam room, I'm going to recall everything that I know and answer every question in a coherent way. Then, on the way home, alone, I'm going to reflect on my total UWS experience. At home, I'm going to take a nap and when I wake up, I'm going to start the rest of my life...

Wainwright (Alb.), le 19 octobre 2012 - Le Général Walter Natynczyk, chef d’état-major de la Défense, remet fièrement son jeton (coin) au Caporal-chef Manon Bourgoin afin de récompenser ses efforts depuis le début de l'Exercice MAPLE RESOLVE.

L’Exercice MAPLE RESOLVE est un entraînement militaire qui a lieu au Centre canadien d’entraînement aux manœuvres (CCEM), à Wainwright (Alb.), du 4 octobre au 11 novembre 2012. Il s’agit d’une activité de formation stimulante axée sur les groupements interarmes pour fournir une formation complexe et de haut niveau à près de 3 000 soldats.

Pour le 5e Groupe-brigade mécanisé du Canada, le but de cet entraînement consiste ultimement à valider l’état final de préparation de la Force opérationnelle 3-12 (FO 3-12). Une fois cet état de préparation confirmé, la FO 3-12 sera mise en haute disponibilité opérationnelle, donc prête à répondre à toute demande de déploiement émise par le gouvernement du Canada, de novembre 2012 à juillet 2013
