.....including the army's Maple Resolve exercise, the Royal Canadian Navy's Trident Fury exercise off the west coast of Canada and the Royal Canadian Air Force's Maple Flag exercise at CFB Cold Lake.

"...which is to say, each service currently has a planned and organized exercise already in the works. We are going to impose a nugatory HQ organization over top of these in order to increase the reports, returns, and visits, with an intent to increase 1 Div's bureaucratic micromanagement skill sets, with absolutely no appreciable gain for the units already being exercised."

What did you learn?

And the wheel of change continues to turn, with the past always returning in some variation to be the present.

LFC's 1 Cdn Div HQ disapeared for the creation the CFJHQ, first under the DCDS then the .COMs.  CFJHQ then transformed to become 1 Cdn Div HQ back under the Army (this time bigger and branded as "Joint").  As of this month, 1 Cdn Div has again transfered under the .COM umbrella as a subordinate formation of CJOC.

Now CFJSR will support a unit within it's own command.

Dance band on the Titanic
Sing "Nearer, my God, to Thee"
The iceberg's on the starboard bow
Won't you dance with me
