We have a system of main operating base, deployed operating base, and then forward operating location. Building in the north is very expensive and it takes time. Right now we have an adequate situation given where the Canadian air defence identification zone is located. However, in future there could be a requirement to study having a forward operation location further north, or to study and work with allies to see if we could use their installation.
