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

  • 22 Wing Visited by Vips 22 Wing Rolled out the Red Carpet for Two Vips in the Month of October
    1 DECEMBER / DÉCEMBRE 2020 VOL. 54, NO. 12 Recognizing the Contributions of Aerospace Controllers and Aerospace Control Operators Reconnaître les contributions des contrôleurs aérospatiaux et des opérateurs – Contrôle aérospatial Article by: Captain Leah Pierce, Public Affairs 22 Wing/Canadian Forces Base North Bay was the fitting location for the unveiling of the new heraldic design that changed Airborne Warning And Control System (AWACS) qualified Aerospace Controllers (AEC) and Aerospace Control Operators (AC Ops) flight crew specialty badges to an outstretched aircrew flying badge. With plenty of Aerospace Controllers and Operators, 22 Wing is home to the Canadian Air Defence Sector, which conducts the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) mission 24/7, and is housed in the Sergeant (Sgt) David L. Pitcher Building. Referred to as the DLP, the operations building is named after Sgt Pitcher, an Aerospace Control Operator posted to North Bay during his 15-year career in the RCAF, whom perished 25 years ago with 23 other souls (22 United States Air Force and another Royal Canadian Air Force members) on September 22nd, 1995, in an AWACS shortly after takeoff from Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, United States, during a NORAD training exercise. On Friday, October 23rd, 2020, during his visit to 22 Wing, Lieutenant-General A.D. Meinzinger, Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), along with his command team partner, Chief Warrant Officer J.R.D. Gaudreault, RCAF Chief, bestow the new wing badges to qualified members of the AEC and AC Op trades. “As the RCAF has moved forward, we have come to realize that the extent of duties being performed by these aviators far exceeds those laid out or foreseen almost fifty years ago,” said Lieutenant-General Al Meinzinger, Commander RCAF.

Ships visited multiple African countries and mixed operational training with com- munity outreach and volunteerism during the unique deployment. Family members gathered on the jetty to meet their loved ones after more than two months away, and the traditional first kiss upon their return went to LS Franklyn Murray, a combat engineer in Summerside. He emerged as the first sailor back on land from either ship, with his girlfriend Kaitlyn Campbell waiting on the jetty. He said he was happy he had the experience on Neptune Trident, but that two and a half months away from loved ones is always tough, especially with a baby on the way. “We’ve been gone for a pretty long time, so this is what I’ve been waiting for. It’s nice to be home,” LS HMCS Summerside Coxn PO1 Ivan Lightwood greets his wife, PO1 Tari Lightwood and (left to right) children Alexis, Asa and Murray said.

    Winter 2019 Rear Admiral Desmond William Piers, CM DSC CD Patron-in-Chief - - Mrs. Anne Baker FROM THE BRIDGE First of all I hope all shipmate’s and families had a joyous Christmas and New Year. We have just started our new year with the election of a new executive. I would like to thank all of you for the vote of confidence in me to be your President. I’m not perfect, but with your help and with the executive, we will endeavor to do the best job we can. My phone will always be accessible, if you see any problems, or have any suggestions, please let me know, nothing gets achieved if you keep it to yourself. Lets try to bring the club back to where it was when I joined. Talk to friends and former mates, let’s try to sign them up, as we are losing so many members. Reach out to members that haven’t been here for awhile and get the membership back on track. I would also like to thank outgoing President S/M Ivan Foote and his executive. They did an excellent job. As in any new position, it will be a learning experience, so please be patient. There are always new challenges to consider. I am familiar with most of our issues, but I’m sure there will be questions on a few, but just remember that we were all Ordinary Seamen at one time so please bear with me. One of our biggest challenges is to get new, young members, let’s work hard as an organization to resolve this.
