[1][2] The RCN conducts this mission through activities that are completed on both coasts. The Maritime Forces Pacific (MARPAC) Operational Research Team (ORT) supports MARPAC/JTFP exercises (EX), including tabletop and command post exercises (TTX/CPX) and war games; these can be at various levels up to and including the Naval Task Group (TG) level. [3] Up until now, each ORT project had been treated as a separate entity, and each time an exercise support requirement arises, a new data collection and analysis plan was developed. The ORT commenced a multi-phased project to align MARPAC/Joint Task Force Pacific (JTFP) exercises and experiments with the ORT role in supporting defence priorities, assigned missions, and tasks.[4] Phase One of the project, documented in a separate report [4], generated the six-phase Exercise and Experimentation Support Framework (the ‘Framework’) to support exercises and experiments conducted at the Regional Joint Task Force, Naval TG, and individual ship or sub-unit level. The Framework is based on existing high level Canadian and United States (U.S.) military doctrine and existing bodies of knowledge within the civil emergency management domain. [5][6][7][8][9] It provides a method for task decomposition. A set of seven scenarios was also developed which reflect current and future RCN joint priorities. The current work, Phase Two, completes the Framework by developing a generic, consistent, robust, and reusable data collection process and analysis methodology. Phase Two also addressed the requirements for adhering to the Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) policies. [10][11][12] The data collection process and the adherence to the HREC policies are addressed in this report and the data analysis will be addressed separately. [12] In Phase Two, three major groupings of exercises were developed based on the earlier Phase One work. These groupings represented TG exercises (TGEX), live simulations and TTX/CPX. High-level strategic documentation from the Canadian and U.S. military and emergency management domains were used to identify relevant naval and joint tasks and associated measures. Two complex scenarios were used (i.e., a multi- national exercise involving a Canadian Naval TG and an inter-agency, joint exercise conducted by coastal Joint Task Force) to identify common operational tasks associated with the main groupings of TGEX and TTX/CPX activities; live simulations were not directly addressed due to limitations in project resources and scope. Qualitative and quantitative measures were derived from decomposing the tasks for each scenario. Data collection templates were generated for each of the main types of measures that were identified during the analysis. The data collection templates are designed to be quickly and easily adaptable by the MARPAC ORT to meet specific exercise and experimentation parameters. The current findings support the final step in the creation of the Framework that will document, with notional datasets, the types of analyses and identify open source tools that could be used to perform the data analyses.

Senior Fellow in Arctic Security and Defence The Simons Foundation and Michelle Jackett, M.A. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Circumpolar Military Facilities of the Arctic Five – last updated: September 2017 Ernie Regehr, O.C., and Michelle Jackett, M.A. Circumpolar Military Facilities of the Arctic Five Introduction This compilation of current military facilities in the circumpolar region1 continues to be offered as an aid to addressing a key question posed by the Canadian Senate more than five years ago: “Is the [Arctic] region again becoming militarized?”2 If anything, that question has become more interesting and relevant in the intervening years, with commentators divided on the meaning of the demonstrably accelerated military developments in the Arctic – some arguing that they are primarily a reflection of increasing military responsibilities in aiding civil authorities in surveillance and search and rescue, some noting that Russia’s increasing military presence is consistent with its need to respond to increased risks of things like illegal resource extraction, terrorism, and disasters along its frontier and the northern sea route, and others warning that the Arctic could indeed be headed once again for direct strategic confrontation.3 While a simple listing of military bases, facilities, and equipment, either
