Canadian Army personnel conducted Exercise MARITIME RAIDER (Ex MR 12) at the Virginia National Guard Maneuver Training Center, Fort Pickett, Virginia, from March 1 to 11, 2012.

Canadian Brigade Group (37 CBG) comprised of Canadian Army Reserve units in New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador, participated in Ex MR 12. The exercise provides Canadian participants the opportunity to train side by side in a multi-national task force environment. Units from the U.S. Army, Navy, Army National Guard and Air Force will participate in the training providing the Canadians the opportunity to operate and train with their U.S. counterparts in an effort to develop their interoperability skills and build strong ties.

Ex MR 12 provided the participants with the opportunity to apply lessons learned during previous training to further develop their abilities to respond to situations as they happen and prepare them for future deployment at home and abroad.
