It will focus on the planning and deployment of an initial assessment team to conduct surveys and liaison with fictional government and non-governmental actors within an artificial scenario.
Training will take place primarily within the area of 8 Wing/CFB Trenton and CFD Mountain View, although residents in Prince Edward County may encounter CAF personnel in military and civilian vehicles throughout the area.
There is no risk to public safety during this training event.
No munitions or pyrotechnics will be used.
There will be neither road closures nor disruptions to normal traffic.
