A Canadian soldier experiments with an unexploded ordnance in our favourite photo of the week. The maneuver took place during Exercise Ardent Defender 24.
Exercise Ardent Defender is a Canadian Armed Forces-led multinational training exercise at the 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown.
From October. 17-30 close to 400 soldiers gathered to participate in this exercise, enhancing interoperability and collaboration between Allied Nations. Specifically, the countries work together to reduce the threat of explosives.
Countries taking part in this exercise included Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.
