Frozen Warrior: Inside the Army's Cold Weather Training in Guerrier Nordique

In the far reaches of Resolute, Canada, military personnel from the U.S. and Canada have come together for a joint cold weather exercise called Guerrier Nordique. This exercise is designed to test tactical skills and endurance as they work together to operate in extreme winter conditions in the high Arctic.

Great video! Love seeing our brothers to the south come train with us!

Lol. USA-Extreme cold weather training Ex, Canadian Forces- Tuesday. Not knocking them, we all got strengths. EDIT, Like that c130 on skis!!!

[@michaele1278]

Something tells me we're (CANADA/USA) going to need this training soon.

[@ericb.4358]

That big .50 BMG may someday soon be replaced by a SIG .338 Norma magnum heavy machine gun. Same max range but FAR lighter and still capable of anti-materiel use. BTW-> The Canadian Armed Forces winter sleep system is unique and worth a look. "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing." (Norwegian saying)

[@reallyhappenings5880]

Not a chance. The .50 Browning isn't going anywhere until the next gen hurdles of firearms tech (ignition) are achieved.

[@traveler_maine2075]

this looks fun

[@Fer-sc5sb]

From 35° F to -35° F !! 😮🥶🧊👏💪💥🔥🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@120bank8]

definitely gets colder than -35 here. The date was January 23, 1935. The location: Iroquois Falls, located 55 km northeast of Timmins and 40 km south of Cochrane, ON. The value was a minus 58.1°C (minus 73°F)

[@Maryland_Kulak]

Is this the 3-172nd Infantry?

[@kixigvak]

My experience has been that in the field the French Canadian soldiers prefer to speak French. Was that an issue here?

[@davidthompson6636]

Ice Station Zebra. Don’t even recall if any side won

[@michaelbehrens1660]

I think if that Major is an actual "Platoon Commander" his career has been interesting...where's that video...

[@LastPinster]

Thrive in this environmrnt are you sure ?

Snowmobiles, tents, stoves, hot meals provided, medical care/ evacuation at the ready and having everything you need brough to you/provided is not survival, its endurance ..

[@Coinbro]

I was going to say vacation shit my friends build snow caves with no heat and sleep overnight to test our equipment

[@Fer-sc5sb]

"To endure is to survive..." ☝️

[@120bank8]

bro you really think they're going to go out there and survive with no tent no food no vehicle no stove no heat??? you're wildly living in a fantasy... where are the tree's? what will berries will you pick? where is the deer/elk? how are you going to fish????? get a grip dude.

[@vixx-kun7686]

I've been on this course for an entire month and it sucks so badly and living there without a tent, hot food and essentials is just 'restarted' and not what militaries do idiot.

[@Berlin-Kladow]

LOL , US reserve Guard Units are better equipped than full time regular Canadian units in Canada’s Arctic. If Canadians are serious they need to up their game , get survivable Arctic equipment for their regular force instead of sponging off the US National Guard. US has Arctic training out Wainwright , Alaska and Mountain Division.

[@billestew7535]

The 35th Canadian Brigade Group is an army reserve brigade group, not a regular force brigade group

[@douglapointe6810]

BS

[@eagle6754]

I do not understand the lack of grooming regulations. Why have standards fallen with bearded soldiers?

[@120bank8]

men have facial hair. canadians are allowed

[@billradley]

How can bearded soldiers be combat effective???????

[@Maryland_Kulak]

Ask the Mujahidin.

[@120bank8]

you're joking right?

[@Maryland_Kulak]

@@120bank8No, he’s not. CBRN protective masks ( gas masks) don’t work with a beard. If a Soldier has a beard and gets hit with a chemical or biological weapon, he just dies.

[@seanmontgrain4146]

Probably got a winter waver due to being great at dealing with sub zero temps

[@timothygunn4160]

@@Maryland_Kulakwell considering the temperatures there aren’t many CBRN threats. A beard in the far north is actually a good thing. The equipment the Canadians are issued is decent for operating in the far north compared to what was issued in the 90’s early 2000’s. Oh and there isn’t a CBRN mask out there that is effective at -40…..
