It was a dismal and dejected community that was leaving its barren home at the foot of snow-capped mountains on this forbidding, treeless island. They had no idea what the future held. They were not optimistic. They always listened to the Moscow radio and its grim news of the Russian front and they knew their country was in deadly peril.

the horizon. The Mission was not to be seen and the maps available did not prove too accurate in detail. The shoreline contained numerous indentations of various depths and the search was difficult and made more so by a low fog which covered portions of the Inlet. One house was spotted but it did not answer to the description and there was no sign of life. To be on the safe side the radio operator at Arctic Inlet was asked if he knew of another similar structure in the neighbourhood. He replied “No” so we told him of the one sighted and its approximate location. The search continued. Then Sargent Judd came up from the cabin and said that a boat and building had been seen through a break in the fog. We turned back and at 1340 hours spotted the Mission buildings. The aircraft made a circuit while the rear door was being taken off. On the run in over the Mission people could be seen wavine. and Major Flint dronned the following message:

Flying to Alert was hazardous, and two aircraft crashed during the first few years of operations. On 31 July 1950, RCAF Lancaster no. 965 from 405 Squadron took off from Thule to perform ice reconnaissance and airdrop desperately needed bulldozer parts at Alert. When the crew released the package out the door, the parachute caught in the aircraft’s tail and caused the plane to crash and explode about 600 metres from the station. All nine people aboard, including the JAWS program’s visionary Lieutenant Colonel Charles Hubbard (retired), were killed. The men were buried at Alert and the cemetery noted by Lieutenant Heavens commemorates their sacrifice. A second accident followed on 11 October 1952, when an American C-54D crashed on landing while carrying a load of aviation fuel

draw and prepare equipment. Reconnaissance would be completed by D-16 and all equipment will be ready by D-13. At D-12 the main body of the ARCG would begin to deploy on mission-specific, preparation training. Typically this exercise will last for six days and be followed by one day of equipment repair and clean-up. The training period can be lengthened or shortened depending on the mission and other factors. On D-5 an Advance Party would deploy to prepare the ARCG HQ and begin liaison with JTIFN and Canadian Operational Support Command elements on the ground. If the situation permits, the ARCG could also be given one or two days of pre- deployment leave followed by the deployment itself. This pre-deployment leave period may be especially critical for Army Reservists that need to make ‘inal arrangements for their absence from civilian occupations. This template deployment sequence, envisioned for the ARCGs, was

At times, however, this attitude will test the patience of instructors, who often perceive it as an excuse for making a mistake or for giving up. To better deal with this attitude, the slow decision-making style of Inuit, and the fact that they will not respond like typical soldiers, Regular Force personnel assigned to lead the Rangers must have patience. Without patience they will not be able to function properly on the land, or to interact well with Inuit on the patrols, and they will struggle to lead. Patience, then, is at the core of leadership in the Rangers.

artificiality of the Nanook series can cause confusion, because DND/CAF assets are placed in advance of the scenarios in order to assist with their conduct and with the required Real-Life Support for such a large volume of activity. But the CAF assets would not normally be in-place so quickly in a similar real-world event. Nor would all of the various agencies be forewarned of the event and ready to respond.

The Navy has derived similar lessons from Arctic exercises and operations. Owing to the expeditionary nature of Arctic voyages, RCN vessels typically bring far more supplies, parts, and replacements with them than would be the case for most domestic deployments. The RCN has also pared down the size of its deployments, from large squadrons sent north in the 1970s, to one or two ship mission by the early 1980s. This deployment pattern continues into the 21“ century, with the RCN normally deploying only two ships north each year.
