Like I was saying before all of that nonsense, Canadian Forces personnel due for deployment in-theater go through an acclimatization period to get used to hot weather in the southern states before deploying to the 'Stan or anywhere else in the with an arid climate that we have personnel posted in. We also have training-exchange programs in place.edit on 13/5/2011 by xXxinfidelxXx because: (no reason given)
So then do you have any knowledge of them being in Missouri, or Illinois, or Ohio, states that the OP ask about? (These are not really 'southern states')
Would Canadian troops have any reason to be part of a used force in the U.S. IF the New Madrid fault (or some man-made disaster) occurred?edit on 13-5-2011 by Tecumte because: text correction
I don't know about the other states, but I do have personal knowledge of them being in Missouri and Kansas. As well as Az, GA, TX and a military base in Landstuhl Germany. Oh and while I was not assigned to the post, just staying there on leave, I saw them on the small military post in Vicenza Italy.

Please, before any more civilians come on this thread and do some more doomsaying, read my two posts (as badly worded as they were) and you will see the REALITY of the situation. I'll be the first one to admit corruption of the systems but one of their greatest successes was making all of you scared. The way I see it, life is too damn short to be looking over your shoulder all of the time. It's been proven time and time again that a scared populace is incapable of rational thought as a whole.

Well anyone here knows Monday is the big earthquake exercise. Its historic. 8 states and over 2 million volunteers. so maybe other countries would like to learn from us? who knows.. I am more worried about the big one really happening. you think the historic flood is bad now, if that EQ happened we are all screwed!

No that the US and Canada have agreed to integrate their militaries in time of emergency or conflict, so with all the action happening in the NMSZ, I have a feeling that if they are in the US, this is why.....

What are you implying? That Canada is going to invade America? Or they already are?
Je ne comprends pas....
The purpose of the Canada-United States Civil Assistance Plan (CAP) is to provide a framework for the military of one nation to provide support to the military of the other nation in the performance of civil support operations (e.g. floods, forest fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and effects of a terrorist attack)

Wow, you're right. Somewhat. It doesn't integrate the militaries (or does it?), but it still is interesting.

A lot of people are predicting a big New Madrid earthquake....
