Canadian Armed Forces Soldiers to Train in Creemore

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT – NATIONAL DEFENCE / CANADIAN ARMED FORCES 

Soldiers from the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers School (RCEME School) will conduct an exercise in the Town of Creemore on Tuesday 8 November 2022.  

Approximately 55 soldiers and staff from the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Officer Developmental Period 1.2 training course will be walking the streets with maps and compasses, familiarizing themselves with the conduct of military operations in built-up areas. Experience in recent overseas deployments highlighted that contemporary conflicts are likely to take place in the streets of cities and towns, rather than in rural areas.  Interaction with the public is encouraged as this presents a realistic element of a deployment. 

The soldiers will not be armed and no live, blank or pyrotechnic ammunition will be used. 

This course is designed to enhance the knowledge of tactics and administration as it relates to Maintenance Units in the Canadian Armed Forces.
