As we navigated through various remarkable 100th Anniversary Commemorations, the Regiment once again resumed with what we do best – answering the call of duty. All three battalions were extremely busy this year as they worked feverishly to prepare themselves to assume the High Readiness Task, a feat undertaken by 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group in order to maintain a combat ready force that can respond to any potential national or expeditionary deployments. Soldiers at all rank levels participated in many physically and mentally challenging exercises. Exercise UNIFIED RESOLVE was a computer assisted exercise that allowed command teams to employ their operational planning procedures in an attempt to test their command and control capabilities. Subsequently, command teams were able to utilize their training and apply it in the field when they deployed on Exercise PROMETHEAN accolades the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel RAM. The exercise tested the fortitude of our soldiers Wayne Niven, and the Regimental Sergeant Major, Chief as they maneuvered complex live fire environments. Warrant Officer James Smith have received. The astounding Completion of the Road to High Readiness culminated work of the battalion, under the command of these leaders, in the success of Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE, where unequivocally contributed to mission success – well done once again soldiers honed their skills within a realistic, to you, Second Battalion! complex, force-on-force operation environment. Concurrent to these flagship exercises, each battalion Simultaneously, the First Battalion deployed Alpha Company maintained a vigorous course cycle and participated to Poland for Operation REASSURANCE and participated in unit specific exercises to enhance individual soldier in a series of exercises across Central and Eastern Europe skills. in unforgiving conditions with the intent of enhancing interoperability between NATO allies. I would like to make As a result of the High Readiness Task, elements from special mention of Majors Lonnie Campbell, Commander all three battalions were called upon to deploy on Land Task Force, and Stephen Wyatt, Officer Commanding various operations around the world. In the summer, Alpha Company, and their respective Company Sergeant Second Battalion sent a contingent to Ukraine to Majors, Master Warrant Officers Christopher Thorne and participate in Operation UNIFIER, a joint training Scott Proctor.

I States, United Kingdom, Ukraine, and of course, commend you for perpetuating the fine reputation of this Canada. I would like to acknowledge the overwhelming Regiment. 9 for success. I have previously spoken of the magnificent devotion and energy that Brigadier-General (retired) Vince Kennedy brought forth during the planning and conduct of the Regiment’s 100th Anniversary. I was absolutely ecstatic to hear that he was formally recognized for his exceptional service and awarded the Meritorious Service Medal. Well done, Brigadier-General (retired) Kennedy; you have brought enormous credit to yourself and the Regiment as a whole. I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize Brigadier-General (retired) Larry Gollner. Brigadier-General (retired) Gollner was awarded the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation for praiseworthy initiatives that care for veterans. Under his oversight, he encouraged the Regiment to establish the Casualty Care Cell and tend to wounded soldiers and families of the fallen. Among many other accomplishments, he also established and managed the Volunteer Patricia Program, which to this very day still remains under the administration of the PPCLI Association. I feel most gratified that we have such a compassionate, tight-knit regimental family caring for our own. My profoundest thanks to Brigadier-General (retired) Gollner, the PPCLI Association, and of course, the Regimental Veteran’s Care Cell for continuing to As the Third Battalion moves to replace the First in the improve the standard of veteran’s care. new year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish the new command teams, Majors Jesse Van Eijk, Land Force I was recently advised that the Association will make a Task Commander, Spencer Sharpe, Officer Commanding presentation to the Veterans

  • Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War
    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.
