Officer says Cutlass Fury 2016 provided 47TH ANNUAL a unique opportunity for American sailors By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

United States Navy Command- er Marc Picard is no stranger to his neighbouring country to the north. The USN officer was born and raised south of the border, growing up in Mas- sachusetts, but only after his Quebec-born parents moved to the United States. That Quebec connection caught up with him again later in life when he met his wife, who also hails from La Belle Province. Needless to say, visits to MINI GREY CUP Quebec to visit in-laws and other family members are fre- quent. Getting the chance to spend two weeks in the Hali- fax region as part of Exercise 2016 Cutlass Fury 16, however, was a little different, and a new experience. “I’ve never been to the Maritimes and I’m actually really happy to be here. I’ve been trying to get to Halifax on every ship I’ve been on, and it just never worked out,” Cdr Picard said. “It’s a popular spot in terms of a lot of guys always want- ing to sail to Halifax because they know how nice of an area it is.” Cdr Picard spent the exercise working as the deputy com- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1300 HRS mander for a task group that included USN destroyers USS Gonzalez and USS Bulkeley as PORTEOUS FIELD, CFB HALIFAX well as the replenishment ship USNS Robert E.

By Lt(N) Kelly Boyden, PAO

Commander Task Group 301.1 for CUTLASS FURY 2016 (CF 16), Capt (N) Craig Skjerpen, and Task Group Engineering Officer, Cdr Tom Shee- han, were welcomed aboard French Ship (FS) Languedoc for a tour on September 16, 2016. FS Languedoc is a recently con- structed Aquitaine-class, multi-role frigate, still so new it has yet to be formally commissioned into the French Navy. Welcomed by Capt(N) Guillaume Arnoux, the ship’s Commanding Of- ficer, and its Chief Engineer, Cdr Jérome Clemence, the goal of the visit, much like one of the aims of CUTLASS FURY itself, was to build interoperability and relationships between allied navies. “I’d like to thank Capt(N) Arnoux and his ship’s company for graciously hosting us in the midst of the challen- ging and complex learning environ- ment that is CUTLASS FURY,” said Capt(N) Skjerpen. “It was great to see the RCN’s interoperability with Ships participating in EX CUTLASS FURY 2016 make Replenishment at Sea (RAS) approach during the multi-national exercise off the coast of Nova Scotia, September 12, 2016. the French Navy from the other side CPL CHRIS RINGIUS, FIS HALIFAX and to tour FS Languedoc, an im- and very little redundancy on board,” tion of CUTLASS FURY, which fo- build and strengthen interoperability pressive new edition to the French added Cdr Sheehan. cuses on anti-submarine warfare, in- and combat effectiveness between fleet.” “From a technical standpoint, FS CF 16 is a combined, joint, Cana- cludes Naval and Air Force elements Canada’s military and its NATO allies.

As you look left and right, shoot- ers in Full Fighting Order stretch out for hundreds of meters in either direction. Some are Cana- dian, some are American, some are British; all are lying prone by their service rifle, ready to launch forward towards their next target. As you look forward, a row of 74 targets appear and you spring up. The entire relay, 74 shooters in all, charges towards the next firing line. As you climb the mound at the end of the 100 meter sprint, you begin to pre- pare to fire: you tuck the stock of your rifle into your vest, double check the elevation of your optic, and settle into what you hope will be the most stable kneeling position you can manage. Your lungs scream of the need to breathe faster as you order them to slow, then as you look for the perfect sight picture and squeeze The CAFSAC competition winners are chaired off the range, as is the custom following the event. off the first two rounds of the COMBAT CAMERA stage.

By Sarah-Jean Mannette, H&R MFRC

Led by Scott Taylor, journalist and publisher of Esprit de Corps, the Ottawa-based Canadian milit- ary magazine hosts an annual hockey game in the National Capital Region (NCR), with proceeds going to the NCR MFRC. With the help of VIA Rail, which provided travel for the Commandos, the team played their first away game here in Halifax, in support of the Halifax & Region MFRC. Titans clashed during the in- augural Commando Challenge in Halifax on Thursday, September 8. The game featured the visiting Esprit de Corps Commandos, captained by Taylor, versus the hometown RCN Mariners, cap- tained by Capt(N) Sutherland. Hockey legends such as Capt (N) Chris “fast hands” Suther- land, CPO1 Pierre “elbows” Auger and Capt(N) Stephane “the grinder” Lafond and other equally talented and skilled MARLANT players battled against the Commandos for hon- our and bragging rights. The Stadacona Band of the RCN provided the pre-game entertainment, the National An- them, as well as synergy-building REGISTRATION jams during the game. Rick Howe, from News 95.7, kept the crowd engaged, announcing the play-by-play of the fast-paced action.

Soldiers helping Soldiers is a CAF initiative with a primary mission to aid the homeless, with an emphasis on nearly homeless veterans. They serve as a bridge organization work- ing with shelters and soup kitchens to identify homeless or at risk veterans and con- necting them to services and benefits they are entitled to. “I heard an alarming statist- ic on the news stating that 26% of the homeless in Canada are CAF members and their families.” said MCpl Leslie Blair, an aviation sys- tems technician from the Helicopter Operational Test and Evaluation Facility. “That very same day I emailed Capt Vicki Ryan, the founder of Soldiers Helping Soldiers.
