Training exercise at CFB Suffield faces down the invisible, lethal enemy
It can be a bit unnerving for a civilian to see military personnel in hazmat suits walking around, even if a person knows those involved are only running training exercises. Article content Over about three weeks this June, the Canadian Armed Forces led annual chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear training — Exercise Precise Response — at CFB Suffield near Medicine Hat. Article content Article content Article content The live agent training exercise was directed by Defence Research and Development Canada on behalf of NATO. Article content Article content The exercise involved about 475 participants, representing 12 NATO allies and partner countries. The flags of several NATO nations, including Canada, Great Britain and Germany, were seen flying at the Precise Response training ground as participants trained, tested and coordinated decontamination capabilities during realistic CBRN scenarios. Article content For those involved, hazmat suits are just part of the job, like steel-toed boots and a hard hat at a construction site, said Lt.-Col Trevor Waaga, the exercise director. 'It's just part of the equipment to keep the individual safe,' Waaga said during an interview Wednesday with Postmedia. Article content The origins of this chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear training on Canadian soil came out of the November 2022 NATO Prague Summit, which led to the establishment of the NATO CBRN Defence Battalion, a unit that forms part of the NATO Response Force. Article content Article content As part of its contribution, Canada offered to host three weeks of annual live agent training in support of the CBRN Battalion, which includes a wide variety of assets from several countries that run specific CBRN defence activities in support of NATO operations. Article content The Precise Response exercise began in 2004, and Canada has hosted the training each year since at Suffield, except for two years during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the years, Precise Response has hosted approximately 4,000 chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear specialists from allied and partner countries. Article content This year's Canadian contingent included 40 members of the 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group's Decontamination Platoon, along with reservists from across the country. The Decontamination Platoon provides chemical, biological and radiological decontamination for vehicles, equipment, and personnel, including those injured.

Three men stabbed and woman injured in horror knife attack as cops in hazmat suits swarm street & ‘homes evacuated'
THREE men have been stabbed and a woman has been injured in a horror knife attack as police in hazmat suits swarmed the street. Cops scrambled to the scene outside Willesden Green Underground Station in Willesden, northwest London. No one has been arrested yet confirmed the force. The nature and severity of the injuries are not yet clear, but police and paramedics descended on the suburban street quickly last night. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: "Two 21-year-old men and a 20-year-old man were taken to hospital with stab injuries. We await an update on their condition." The road was cordoned off for several hours while forensic officers gathered evidence at the scene. Earlier reports on social media initially suggested a corrosive substance had been thrown at people on Station Parade at around 9.00pm, but cops clarified this was not the case. Police confirmed they were called to multiple reports of a stabbing on the street, which runs adjacent to the London Underground station that serves the Jubilee Line. Station Parade meets Walm Lane at the other end, by the station, which is where the commotion reportedly first started. Specialist CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) responders were deployed but were later stood down after it was confirmed not to be a chemical incident. 1

The report said that the first COBRA II vehicles produced in Turkey had arrived in Romania. As part of the supply contract, the production of the first 278 COBRA IIs to be manufactured in Turkey will be carried out at the Sakarya factory. The subsystems to be supplied by local manufacturers for these vehicles will be integrated in Romania. Moreover, within the scope of the export contract, COBRA II vehicles will be produced abroad for the first time in the future. Otokar recently took an important step in line with its commitments to Romania by signing an agreement with Automecanica S.A., one of the country's leading defence industry companies, to establish a joint venture company in Romania to carry out local production and develop defence industry capabilities in the country. The first vehicle delivery to the Romanian Ministry of Defence will begin in the last quarter of 2025. Within the scope of the project, COBRA II variants suitable for different missions will be produced in line with Romania's needs and demands. The contract covers 10 different variants consisting of a personnel carrier, reconnaissance vehicle, personnel carrier-remote controlled weapon system, anti-tank vehicle, anti-tank command vehicle, 120 mm mortar carrier, 81 mm mortar carrier, engineering vehicle, CBRN reconnaissance vehicle and ambulance. Romania will be the ninth country in Europe to use Otokar's defence industry solutions.
