Exercise Maple Guardian 2010 is being conducted at the Fort Irwin National Training Center (NTC) in the Mojave Desert of eastern California. Climate, terrain, and expansive replications of Middle Eastern villages make Fort Irwin the ideal location to train for a deployment to Afghanistan.

Approximately 3700 Canadian Forces personnel are engaged in, or supporting training for a deployment with Task Force 1-10.

I believe the Canadian Forces currently has about 68,000 active personnel, so we still have a few people kickin around back home. Also, not all 3,700 will be deploying overseas.

Why do you ask? Is the US planning something we should know about?

Not as far as I know

.. But honestly it seemed like a very large forge to send for training. It seems to me the instructors could come to visit the CF. Does the CF have any training area like Ft Irwin.? I know they cannot duplicate the desert terrain.

I'm not sure if the Canadian Forces have anything like Ft. Irwin. But it's all snow and ice up here right now, so definitely not in the winter!

I don't think there's an actual 3,700 personnel at Ft. Irwin right now. If memory serves me right (which it doesn't a lot of the time), there's only a battalion or two from the RCR there right now.
