omorrow marks the end of CPL CRIBB DAVID TOperation NANOOK 2008, a sovereignty operation in Canada’s Eastern Arctic. With participating personnel and resources from the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Nunavut Territorial and Federal government depart- ments, this was a joint and integrat- ed operation to demonstrate sover- eignty and interoperability in Cana- da’s north. The intent of this operation was to project sovereignty in the eastern Arctic, and also provide a means to exercise the CF’s ability to provide humanitarian assistance and disas- ter relief in the north. Operation NANOOK included exercise scenarios that simulate maritime emergencies, such as an evacuation of a ship in distress and an oil spill. The CF supported the other government departments par- ticipating in the exercise with their response to these scenarios.
