What's with the "Retired" ref to the CDS in the captions? Did I miss a change of command parade or something? Last I read, end of October was the estimated handover timeframe.
In fact, he's still listed as in the saddle in this PMO media advisory for an event tomorrow.
That's how rumours start, you know

I wonder how the Americans feel about wearing our fishing vests when they're used to modular rigs. ;D

I notice that the majority of the troops don't have Canadian flags; must be a problem with their Clothing Stores. :

Very Canadian: preparing for war in Central Asia by training in the snow. I thought we were smarter than the British? (who always seemed to prepare me for the desert by training in arctic Norway, or the equivalent) ;D

Well, we are the ones who put our national training centre on the edge of the arctic, and then act all surprised every time there is a little snow.
Personally, I think we only had two better options, and we missed them. Back when the US was downsizing and closing bases, we could have scooped up something like Fort Ord, California, manned it with a skeleton crew, and used the hell out of it. The US would have been happy to delay the environmental survey and cleanup. Or we could have done something in BC. Building on the units in Chilliwack, Work Point and Jericho, finding some land, expropriating, and clear-cutting a year round training area. Basically Shilo without the snow.
But we missed both options, and now our guys are training for combat in jungles and deserts in the snow.

Perhaps you may want to look into US policies reference "foreign troops" being stationed on their soil, as well as the numerous agreements between their and our Government.

Foreigners operating in conjunction with US Forces, training with US Forces, or on exchange with US Forces within the Continental US is not the same as a Foreign power actually independently maintaining a facility on their soil.
Is Alaska not an American State? It has territory well within the Arctic Circle.
