If I can I'll start and then I'll pass it over to General Loos as the commander on location.
If I were to summarize the challenges in the north from an operational perspective, logistics would be one of them because of the nature of the north. We treat it very much like an expeditionary operation. If my counterparts are planning for an operation in Africa or the Middle East we generally try to arrive self-sufficient, at least initially. For all of our operations up north that's the approach we apply.
If we have equipment that requires an awful lot of electricity or electrical support then we make sure we arrive with the necessary generators and the fuel, etc.
I am interested, and we are working with Defence Research and Development Canada to examine alternate sources of energy that might be applicable in the north. Some of our allies are doing that, and we're looking at that with them.
Maybe General Loos could add something.
