Because the operations at Kandahar were land-centric ones, the relationships have developed more on the air side. Obviously, our pilots were flying Chinooks and Griffons and were resupplying the airfield, which has built up a level teamwork that has been replicated in the collective training environment.
The doctrine exists for us to conduct thorough operations working with the Royal Canadian Navy. The issue for us is simply that it's a platform and a training opportunity. We do work within the context of other exercise scenarios, whether on the Pacific or on the Atlantic coasts, so I would link with them.
At my recent army training council, I had representatives from the air force, from Canada Command, etc., and we were talking through future training opportunities. In my job it's very difficult to actually track what we do on a daily basis in the army. I'm actually trying to look out 12 to 24 months to set up the training opportunities to help prepare us, and then align the resources so we can work together.
