Soldiers from CFB Borden performing training exercises until Aug. 18

Soldiers from CFB Borden’s Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) school will conduct a training exercise in and around the outskirts of the base until Aug. 18.

Approximately 100 soldiers will be familiarizing themselves with the conduct of military operations in a deployed context. They may be seen entering and exiting the gates around CFB Borden and driving around in convoys of eight to 10 vehicles on the main roads immediately surrounding the base.

The soldiers will be armed, but any blank or pyrotechnic ammunition will only be used within the confines of CFB Borden.

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