The Logistics Branch is ramping up for its 50th Anniversary on February 1, 2018 and a keystone activity involves passing an official Canadian Forces Logistics Branch Flag among Logisticians around the world and across Canada. Edmonton-based Logisticians who served recently with Operation UNIFIER in Ukraine took part in an incredible celebration on July 28, 2017 in Ukraine. “The Flag arrived here on July 28 on a service flight from Poland,” said Capt Christopher Williams, Contracts Officer, Joint Task Force – Ukraine. “Our Movements Officer, Capt Rachel Hilbig, was given the backpack containing the Flag by the loadmasters of 429 Transport Squadron. She in turn passed it to Master Corporal Penny Warford, a Traffic Techni- cian, who then gave it to me.” The aim of the Flag Relay is to inspire unity among Logisticians. Logisticians have unique capa- bilities and occupations that will assist them in tak- ing the flag around the world to CAF operations and then across Canada to Bases and Wings. The Logis- tics Branch is calling all Logisticians to be involved. “Although the Logistics Branch has a limited his- tory,” said Capt Williams, “this Flag relay gives us a chance to pay homage to the corps and organizations that preceded the Branch in 1968 while at the same time it solidifies us as a Branch.” Cpl Jennifer Couturier, a Human Resources Logisticians gather at their Headquarters in Ukraine in the summer of 2017 as part of Operaton UNIFIER to cel- Administrator, whose home unit is 2nd Battalion, ebrate Logistics Branch unity in preparation for the upcoming Logistics Branch 50th Anniversary in 2018.

14 TRIDENT News October 2, 2017 OP LIMPID: From a junior officer perspective By SLt J.C.M. Martin-Labelle, Bridge Watchkeeper and UPAR

The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) is present every year in the Arctic. HMCS Kingston was in Arctic Bay for Op LIMPID 2017, patrolling, surveying and meeting with communities. In 2016, when I had the opportunity to deploy for Op LIMPID to consolidate my training and obtain my Bridge Watchkeeper (BWK) Ticket, I was more focused on earning my ticket then on the goal of Op LIMPID. I spent those several weeks learning a great deal from the Ship’s Company about my job, the fleet and the RCN. When I had the opportunity to deploy for Op LIM- IPID a second time, I was excited to see things from a different perspective. I had learned so much from the previous year and was excited to share my expe- rience with those who had never been. The foremost incident that changed my perspective was the Arctic Operations Course which is meant to introduce op- erations in ice and polar conditions. Over the years it has grown to include legal and environmental issues as well as the new equipment and ships being developed for the Arctic.
