Do Reserve and foreign (NATO) units take part in the exercise?

 

[The_Falcon]

ARCON 04, or Area Reserve Consentration, were all three reserve CBG‘s (31,32,33)in LFCA all get together in Pet for training. Last year the Queen‘s Own Rifles hosted a Platoon of German Paratroopers. However it is mainly a reserve ex.

 

[koalorka]

Wow, sounds fun. How were the Germans?

 

[The_Falcon]

Don‘t really know I am not in the Queens Own. But they really know how to drink!

 

[pegged]

Is this held in a different land force area every year? Like maybe LFWA one year, and LFCA this year,.

 

[Slumsofsackville]

I Allways heard of it in Gagetown

 

[Cpl. Williamson]

To My Knowledge its Always Been In Gagetown

 

[mattoigta]

I‘m assuming every area does its own

LFWA was supposed to have a large week long concentration this past summer in Wainwright, ex Active Edge.

http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lfwa_hq/Active_Edge/default.htm

I was on course at the time, but AFAIK it was cancelled due to pers needed to fight the fires.

I‘ve been hearing things about "Active Egde 04", but I can‘t confirm anything, and the website only seems to have details on lat year‘s active egde.

 

[D-n-A]

yea, Active Edge was cancelled, due to the forest fires in BC, and Reserves and Reg Force were sent to fight the fires.


From what I‘ve heard, Active Edge should be happening again this year, so is Cougar Salvo.

 

[Eowyn]

There will be an Active Edge 04 in Wainwright this year. I just don‘t have the dates yet.

Spr. Williamson,

Wondered if you had confirmed those dates for Arcon04? We‘re not hearing any dates from our unit yet.
