The task required ingenuity, creativity and physical effort, resulting in effec- tive obstacles. 47 Sqn took turns acting as the enemy force and con- ducting general soldier skills train- ing, with the purpose of integrating the entire regiment into the exercise. 3 Exercise Arnhem Sapper Toronto Waterfront - October 21-23 , 2016 By 2Lt Olea, 2 Troop Commander, 2FES It was still dark the Saturday morning when we arrived at HMCS York in Downtown Toronto. This would be the Staging Area to a lengthy day in Lake Ontario and we could not afford to waste a single minute. My troop was tasked with securing Juno Beach, a nick name given to Hanlan’s Point Beach located on the West side of the Toronto Island. Just close enough to the airport that we were bound to catch an unusual view at the planes tak- ing off the island. As always, it was a mission planned at all command levels of the Regiment. But this time we would be in the eye of the public. By sunrise, we had started our move to the Boat Infla- tion Point by marching 5 kms with our rucksacks on our backs. It was not windy but it did feel like a late October morning nonetheless. The march helped us keep warm and stretch our muscles. It took us 2 hours to unload the assault boats and the motors, inflate them and have them ready to roll. All 7 assault boats departed for Sunnyside Park by 1000 hours were we performed sec- tion-level and troop-level rehearsals. It was on this beach where the media interviewed a few of my sap- pers. They shared with them the importance of having the local combat engineer Regiment do training in real- istic urban environments. “To serve this country back means everything to me”. Spr Al-Homedawy explained to the journalists what is like to be a reservist and our duty towards Canada. Part of the rehearsals was to deal with any unforeseen problems. We had motors fail on us 10 minutes after rehearsals had started. We initiated our contingency plan which helped us minimize the time lost. From this surprise issues, my sappers got a chance to deal with problematic motors and learned some mechanical skills while at it. In the afternoon, we sailed to the staging area to prepare for the main assault on Juno Beach. We quickly refuelled the assault boats, performed last minute briefs and departed for Juno. The waters had turned very choppy which made the circumstances more ideal to test the handling of the assault boats and the skills of my sappers. A fire mission for a smoke screen was requested as we started the assault. The approach to the objective was rough. About 10 meters from the shore the waters turned shallow and we had to use the paddles. We per- formed our secondary role, of infantry, to secure Juno Beach as we had rehearsed it in the morning. While returning to the staging area we reflected on the unique exercise we had just had. Assault boats is one of our main tools for Mobility Support and we had proven our effectiveness at them.

Coordinated by the Ca- nadian Manoeuvre Training Centre in the Wainwright Training Area, the concentration tested the 24 partici- pating teams in a variety of patrolling skills. Eight- member teams were tactically inserted into a notional enemy held territory, where they were required to pa- trol close to 35 kilometres, while avoiding detection and reporting on enemy activities. This year, there was an increase in the number of teams achieving medals, from both the Primary Re- serve and Regular Force teams. For the first time in the history of this event, two teams achieved gold standings.

The Exercise in- volved a combined effort with the US Naval Reserve Construction Battalion (SeaBees) from the Buffalo NY area. The raft was loaned to us by 2CER and built at Cherry Beach. We were able to float a 1/4 ton jeep and then a 2 1/2 ton truck both belonging to the unit. (Photo’s provided by LCol (Ret’d) Tony Zilli) 5 Honorary Lieutenant – Colonel J. Caldwell Biography of 32 Combat Engineer Regiment’s new Honorary Lieutenant-Colonel Jim Caldwell was born in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan, August 19, 1962, while his father (Don Caldwell retired from the Regular force in 1994 and from the Reserves in 2005 having reached the rank of Major) was going thru his pilot training for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Jim spent the next 18 years of his life living on CAF ba- ses all over Canada as well as Europe. Growing up in a military family had a profound positive impact on his appreciation for the role the military plays in Canada. In 1980 he was accepted into the CAF ROTP program and successfully completed basic training at CFB Chilliwack that same summer. In January 1981 he was honorably discharged from the service after making the difficult decision to take a different career path outside of the military.
