MAPLE RESOLVE 2022 - Training with the Royal Canadian Regiment

[@anthonyantao7937]

Love seeing actual battalion/exercise life. Not something that we see enough from the CAF

[@bigjamroll]

Get facked. Those are masculine men. Masculine men must be outlawed.

[@JCRF]

Not much Canadian content on youtube, but your big 3 videos so far have been great and it's obvious you are a good editor. Well done, man.

[@tylersmith2242]

Yes! As someone looking in to joining the Canadian Infantry, I very much appreciate this sir!

[@alainrouleau]

Hey, Borto, just saying, if it's not already obvious... Great job in putting this video together. One of the best that I've seen, a lot of footage, many people involved, can't stop myself from watching it over and over again, lol. Love the live fire exercise. Love the force-on-force with the WES system. All great! Even the helicopters flying extremely low. Most Canadians usually don't see a lot of this stuff, you know, in terms of what the army actually does, advance to contact, section battle drills, etc. So good job! Every little bit counts. We all know the callsigns, who's 1-1 and who's 1. Love the Tango-3-4 with the tanks. Pretty crazy that you would have a troop of tanks assigned to you and that you can tell them to punch through the lines. Very nice! And I love the open terrain in Wainwright. Plus, as an eagle eye, that's quite the battle badge. Is that some sort of pilot project? Standard kit? Or just personal? Either way, very good idea, if you ask me. But that's a lot of information on your sleeve in terms nationality, rank, etc. All very cool so keep up the good work!

[@cameroncurrie7208]

2 RCR was the best time of my life..we went on some insane live fires with the Americans.. I was so close I could feel the heat of the Napalm.. trees flying out of the ground . It was insane.

[@TheOGtyler]

I didn't know part of your training is mixing with neighboring national units! That makes the prospect of joining sound even more exciting.

[@Inquisitor_Bear]

I was part of the us army reserve sent up there by the end of the exercise and it was a blast. Would love to go again

[@STATLECTRIC]

It's always awesome

[@math2222322]

I'm with the 22th and leaving for maple resolve on monday. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity about it.

[@akashdeepdhillon7037]

These videos are the best, thanks for putting up all this premium content!

[@bigjamroll]

As if. This is way too masculine. The Canadian military better stop promoting weapons of war.

[@desmondmorgan3389]

Another awesome video josh CHIMO!!!

[@diegolam4777]

I'm joining the Canadian military soon

[@chrisburke624]

Lets give the Griffon pilot a huge nod of respect for his nap of the Earth skills at 11:18 timestamp! Wow!

[@realarmouredguy5769]

I was here with ya in the tanks. Kicked ass working with you guys

[@bigjamroll]

Ohhhhh. So, your masculine? There is no room in the military for masculine men.

[@PieceOfShrapnel]

I was part of this exercise and I was there for all the bear pits lol, it was amazing

[@RobClaypool]

As a Vet of 12 years, I really appreciate these videos man. Makes me miss it even more.

You are not alone in missing it brother.

I was zemessardze forces in rockyford the whole time lol.. if you heard trigger happy c9 fire coming from the big red building by the entrance that was probably me

[@hotspot_bombdrop9531]

got this vid sent to me by one of my mates as he is also canadian and thought I would have interest in it. in fact, i’m getting closer and closer to being in the canadian air force, not the same as in the video but close!

[@johnnyrotten4630]

@@KinoBeginnings eh mate you just stick to your dead of night and keep your unpatriotic comments to yourself ok, when the sh*t hits the fan and you're hiding under your bed the real men will be there to protect you. Anyone that takes an interest in this knows it isn't all sunshine and rainbows and they think it is they shouldn't be there. If it was my time and the pipes and drums were calling and I had to die for my country I'd be proud to live on in those pipes and drums and give my brothers courage everytime they hear the war March as the fallen would have for me. Have some respect and if you're a Canadian you've forgotten what it means to be one.

the Battlefield 3 music hits the spot

This looks amazing. Looking forward to entering the infantry reserves

[@quranenglishtranslations9315]

Hey bro I’m a canadian Muslim and im 23 and i havent got much going for my life, and im only good at mma, iv been thinking of joining the Canadian army in the infantry. What do you think about me joining ? Considering i am a muslim and i do pray 5 times a day. I would love your feedback if you have met any Muslims in CAF. I dont know im thinking of joining but my mind is at such a battle with itself.

[@daniyilsemi2941]

@@quranenglishtranslations9315 Give it a try bro. This is Canada after all, this country is very welcoming of all religions

[@JoshBortolotti]

The Canadian Armed Forces accommodates all religious denominations. We have spaces set aside in our buildings for the purpose of praying and have halal versions of our rations as well. Find the nearest recruitment center near you to talk about job opportunities in either the non commissioned or officer route, and look at the forces.gc.ca website and explore all possible occupations.

I’m excited to join I plan on applying this year, I’m going to be 23 this year.

Deja-Vu: [x5] military vehicles together, out in the open. (Why ?).. (July 25, 1944) Battle of Verrières Ridge: The same military tactics as the Canadian "Black Watch" used that was a total massacre. The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada, who lost (300) of (320) men.

[@carpediem9382]

I noticed a lack of drones flying about causing trouble of various sorts.

[@QuincyJay44]

Apparently you guys weren't born yesterday. Impressive stuff

[@RJosh-ly5sx]

Going to BMQ in June for Infantry Reg force, where would I most likely be stationed after DP1?

[@JoshBortolotti]

Every candidate indicates a preference. They will do their best to accommodate but ultimately you might need to be sent elsewhere. Figure out what regiment and Battalion you want, advocate heavily for that, and push yourself on course.

[@alainrouleau]

Nice combined-arms for the live fire portion. Was there artillery as well? Would have been nice to see some artillery rounds landing. P.S. Pretty low helicopter flying was nice too.

[@JoshBortolotti]

Unfortunately not. FOOs only called in notional artillery for this iteration.

[@cherokeefit4248]

I served at 1 and recognize a few. Same old stuff.

[@alainrouleau]

Anybody know what type of aircraft did the flyby at 7:44 of the video? Doesn't look Canadian, i.e. CF-18. Doesn't look like an American F-16 either. Looks a lot like an Alpha jet considering the straight shape of the wings and tail?

[@JoshBortolotti]

Alpha Jet yes

[@MrCdrant]

Dudes with 2-4's of warm beer. Yup....sounds like MR.

Alpha Jet

[@marcchamberland5183]

Was this filmed in Gagetown or Petawawa

[@verrico7536]

The beeping at 8:20. Means someone got shot right?

[@JoshBortolotti]

Yes. A solid tone means you are dead. Once your system does that you fall to the ground.

[@Battle_Ratel]

Love it, now is the replacement tac vest still in trial or its nearing the end?

[@uhhhhh..i-like-guns]

we just hope (that they get a new one not saying i’m in caf and saying we hope)

[@matthewgonano636]

Or will this put me in better standing to become hired for a certain position easier? And what positions could these be. Cheers

[@metalfusion1319]

They should give you commission for all the guys joining up cause of your videos lmao

[@marcchamberland5183]

I found my answer, it was in Wainwright Alberta

[@moore.j1116]

I got BMQ this September, and my MOS is going to be Infanteer

[@sam-kx3ty]

Cool video, why not use simmunition rounds?

[@JoshBortolotti]

The laser tag aspect to the WES system allows us to engage as realistic distances, have people's weapons deactivated when they die, and not overincumpre each person with loads of protective gear. It integrates tanks, IFVs, anti tank rockets, and aircraft as well. It also tracks every single kill and friendly fire incident for us to review after the fact.

[@sam-kx3ty]

@@JoshBortolotti sure I understand, I just feel like the recoil of simmunition rounds will give you Guys a more realistic feel.

[@JoshBortolotti]

@@sam-kx3ty the recoil is identical to blanks.

[@sam-kx3ty]

@@JoshBortolotti oh okay that’s cool!! Saves training money too.

[@srinfinity5587]

Are they using blanks? Live ammo? Or one of these paint cartridges?

Reference the video chapters. Live fire first then blanks during force on force
