How British Soldiers Fared On The Canadian Army's LARGEST Exercise • MAPLE RESOLVE | Forces TV 

>Canada >"maple resolve" Amazing

The good thing a bout the Canadians is they have enough room to hold war games on piece's of land bigger then some Countries ! and yes they are well known to be good soldiers , and yes they need a budget increase is right, BUT ! being American who has trained with the Canadians many year's ago, it is funny that they always get the job done no matter what equipment they have... I would fight with them any time, it is nice to see Allies train together.

The canadians are known as great soldiers.. but man do they need a budget increase to upgrade their kits soon.

Britsh and Canadians will always stand together its definitely one of the best combined forces

My uncle fought with the Canadians in Afghanistan and said they were some of the finest soldiers he had ever seen 👌 just visited Canada last summer as well, what a lovely country 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 ❤

Bunch of mates Vs a load of buddies

Canadian officers interview sounds like a hockey player interview lol

Well done to both the U.K. and our own Canadian boys. It's always nice to see people working together. 👍🇨🇦🇬🇧

Funny how US and UK troops must have a clean shave on camera but Canada get beards

Still waiting for that interview forces news 🤨🤷🏼‍♂️

ahh the old saying by the bulldog holds true "If I had american equipment, british officers, and canadian soldiers, I would rule the world"

Came all the way to the other side of the world, spent hours in a foxhole and then got blown up by artillery - life of an infrantryman

Go Canada-let’s invest more money into military and protect our North🇨🇦❤️

The most annoying noise ever comes from a dead MILES device.

I've been to Wainwright as a soldier. It was not the yelling or the discipline or the routine that nearly drove me insane..... But the freaking mosquitoes. Mosquitoes on top of mosquitoes. Clouds of freaking mosquitoes. That nearly drove me nuts.

“682 km, you fit Birmingham, Manchester, and York into it” as an American, I still have no idea how big that is hahaha

Canada’s backyard is bigger than most continents. Incredible land mass. Their soldiers are polite, super intelligent and devastatingly deadly, especially in cold weather conditions. The Canadians ended WWI with an incredible historic victory at the Battle of Passchendaele. 🇨🇦

Bet they fought through the objective... apologized Then consolidated their positions

Its just a massive game of laser tag. I want in XD

Fun fact of the day, Canada has never lost a war.

My husband was in the Canadian Armed Forces and he knows that the Canadian Armed Forces and always worked with less all the time. Canadian Government has been always scared to have a really good defense budget in any of the 3 services

Got to watch some of the international exercises at CFB Cold Lake. My understanding is Canada has a very well trained airforce as well (shame about the ancient cf 18's)

I was posted to CFB Wainwright for a couple years & working in Training Support for 2 of these years FTXs. I always enjoyed it when you Brits came over, great troops, good laughs & a good reminder why Canada remained loyal to the crown, it’s much better to be on your side than not be... just ask Argentina lol

Much respect to our NATO Allies in the USA and UK from a proud Canadian ex service. Be careful out there.

Well done boys. Glad we are on the same side.

In 1975, we had the 82nd Airborne from the United States and 1st Kings from British Army. I was with 3 Field Squadron Royal Canadian Engineers at the time. The Americans didn't like us attacking at 4 am, catching them in their sleeping bags. Wainwright is a great training area.

I was in the QOR reserves and we trained right along side with the regulars. We are a great bunch of people.

R.I.P to all the soldiers that died during this training excersise :(

I remember my live fire experience with the British tanks.... after two days of shooting thare kit (strapped to the outside of the tank) we where asked to stop... haha fun times...

The Elves of the Frozen North are schooling the Hobbits of the Shire.

1:06, that big tank with bucket and blade on it is the badger.. thats what i got to roll around in for this exercise and last years aswell (Y) glad the brits had a good time.. their defense was pretty strong for how low numbered they were

Next training operation ( excercise Poutine )

Just for those who arent aware: the DTES/MILES kit theyre using is all gps linked. Obviously for direct fire, the sensors on the helmet/vest pick up the lasers, but for IDF its literally a GPS kill area. Itll randomise what injuries you have and the like. Bit annoying but the only way to get actual cover from the GPS kill areas on IDF is to have special GPS units placed in your trenches to 'upgrade' them into bunkers which can take a few hits...when they work. Nothing more annoying than getting 'killed' by a mortar that landed 80 metres away on the other side of a massive bun line just as youre about to brass up an unsuspecting platoon with a gpmg. Really good kit otherwise though.

Well, I participated in RV83 at CFB Wainright in.... 1983. Was 22 at the time. Prior to that, had done my basic para course at the CABC Edmonton. Ended up having 13 years of Cdn Forces service and then moved to the public service. I'm now retiring with 35 years of federal service. And bonne Saint-Jean Baptiste to all Quebecers around!!!

Always sucks to have a MG because the lasers don't create a beaten zone so it's just a heavy rifle with a 200rd belt

I was us army and participated in maple resolve 2015 was good fun and training

Respect from 1st Marine Division (USA)

Hello my name is anmol Singh England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 respect for united Kingdom 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 proud to be a British soldiers god bless the UK 🇬🇧

Good job lads

Wainwright is a good place for a "Smoker", I spent two great summers there as a Reservist. Nice to see the old range.

Looks like a great day out

*Your videos are sooooo amazing.* 👏👌♥️ *keep inspiring us.* 😍😊 *We love your vids.* ❗️♥️

That British pattern Multicam works like a charm in that environment, they literally melt into their surroundings. Good stuff.

I've worked on the Wainwright base doing rig work. Lots of oil and gas wells there.

My Son is a Captain, Leopard 2a6 tank commander in CFB Edmonton Alberta. I live in southern Ontario. Quite a distance if you know the geography.

Great to see Wainwright still being used by the Brits, it's a great asset. The town folk of Wainwright made me and my family feel very welcome when we were living there under BATSU (W) banner. Dave & Denise & family

Respect to all our soldiers

Last time i was through Wainwright the boys were pulling a stuck Centurion tank out of the ditch next to the highway. Talk about real life scenarios.

I've been to Wainwright, it is intimidating by size and terrain. B.T.W C.F.B. Suffield, C.F.B Gagetown and C.F.B.Borden are all larger land area bases within Canada and this does not include the massive air base training areas in other parts of the country. Practice at game speed is how yoy win, whether in hockey or soccer or combat.

Private Howdle is definite NCO material already. A superb communicator. Well done young man.

That is a beautiful training field, I am jealous

For Canadian citizens Canada’s army is crazily undermanned lmfao and losing people even faster we cannot help take care of our veterans so we turn a blind eye and forget them all together I hope there’s a turn around soon if not lol can’t wait for that draft

Great video

Wainwright , where dreams go to die

I approve of this exercise's name

Thank You for sharing positive news. Win today lose tomorrow.

Lookin' good, Jordan; well done!

Did many exercises in Wainwright. They got amazing jerky at the town butcher.

by far, Maple Resolve was a great training experience for deployment training. I had a great time training with the Brits/US Marines & Army. Long as fuaaaah

When he said the British soldiers were used to having an ordered plan and that was different, I wondered how much of that was planned and how much was because it's the Canadian Army and chaos is basically how we roll.

the base also has some of the best deer,elk and moose hunting in Alberta.

Wainwright might be a big training area (I've been there many, many times) but it is less than a quarter the size of Suffield 350 Kms to the south. Suffield is 2700 square Kms. Bigger than Luxemberg.

The small sticks in front of the rifle pit might stop a miles laser. Wonder how they would go with a bullet?...

As a Brit I feel that out Government needs to help the Canadians get better equipment by selling them it at a discount of course.

Good stuff.

Welcome to Canada Boys

MAPLE SYRUP IS THE ENERGY DRINK OF THE BATTLEFIELD

Excellent

I swear I can still smell the grass and dirt of CFB Wainwright right now! I can feel the weight of my C2 in my arms and the press of my magazines on my chest. Nothing but admiration for this generation of soldiers. The complexity of the job has increased exponentially even if the basics are the same since Greek Hoplites. Outstanding!

You just can't stick to your line of fox holes when you know for sure that an attack is on it's way. At the very least every fire team should be assigned a secondary position that is both close to their fighting position and capable of at least making it more unlikely they are taken out by fire support assets that are sure to pepper their positions before the enemy ever tries to close in. Code words can be set to stand for different predetermined manouvers such as, get to your secondary safe position, and swap to the firing position.

Next go to Fort Irwin, California for desert conditions. Everyday the temperature is 125°F/51.667°C.

So I get that they used lasers for shots but did they use that for tanks too? And AIR STRIKES?

Oy brits mind sharing some of your gear with us?

"If I had Canadian Soldiers, American technology and British officers I would rule the world." - Winston Churchill

Maple resolve....lol 😆 love Canada, even their military tags are friendly

I’ve been in the Ex twice It’s always raining in Wainewrong lol

The British clean tidy well turned out , well trained

yes we are and yes i agree

The training area around Camp Wainwright , could swallow Salisbury Plain a few times . I hope the visitors were able to visit the Rockies for R & R , or get " Local leave " on a nearby Ranch . There were only 2 bars in the town when l was there in the ' 70s . Shuffleboard at the local hotel was very popular , but our camp NAAFI with higher alcohol content was popular with guests. 7 Para RHA , were due to be disbanded on return to U.K. This vid will bring back many memories l am sure , much appreciated .

”Maple Resolve” Might as well name it ”Canadian Canadaman Canadefense”

I love Canada because most of them are open-minded to foreigners like me. They are gentle as the people of the Great Britain were long time ago. I think most of them do not want to argue this matter since it seems childish. I know my English writting is not well like you but many Canadians understand it and they treat me kindly. In my opinion, nowadays, "Gentleman" means such good Canadians. Have a good day! :)

Well done to C Company in your endeavors at Camp Wainwright .. .. You just can't beat excellent training and getting pushed to your limits .. .. at times you find new limits and other times you learn more about your old ones .. .. limits both the physical and the mental ones.. An old foe Napoleon once said that he required two things of his officers and soldiers .. .. courage and endurance .. "but by far the endurance is the most important of the two.." Endurance is a learned ability or skill .. indeed in many ways it is 'earned' by being pushed to ones limits in excellent training.. Great job by those Canadian Blue and Orange force commanders!! Best ,, No. 9

did they get lost or be almost like home

Canadians kick ass all around the world for a small populated country we do the best with what we have which is almost nothing because of our governments

5,000 largest Canadian exercise. ??? The RV series ( last one was RV92) was twice the size

4.45 right there Barry ahaha

given they have the lasers why would the brits need to retreat and loose why not have a legit contest rather than having one side mean to loose. or have I misunderstood and ive just explained exactly what they are doing

Technically if you analyze the dialog, the Brits got steamrolled on their retreat. Brits were on day 5 (zone 5) on day 4. Meaning they took heavier casualties, and had to give up a whole delaying day's worth of ground. Thus, they didn't quite achieve their objective. But given the out numbered and out armored state. That is well done for surviving 4 out the planned 5 days.

I joined the Canadian forces over 40 years ago and it was said our military was the best trained and poorest equipped army in the world. Hopefully, that isn't the case anymore.

Where's Matsimus?

WOW! can you Imagine how many points you could score with her surname in Scrabble??

That LCOL looks a little young.

was this the exercise where idaho invades canada?

God damn look at brits kit so nice otw shirts,webbing, proper rucks but hey we can smoke dope now in caf

This all could have been over with before it started if they had just shipped them off to Meaford.

now I feel good about my army

I know I know we have some tanks. It freaks everybody out.

Antoine Army of Canada or Britain

She says the mercians but they have royal welsh badges and books XD

I love when he says, were used to day 1 we have this day 2 we have this etc, but here day 3 has become 4 and five has been moved forward completely. That's just the canadian army with everything 😅.
