  La ministre de la Défense Anita Anand annonce la prolongation de l’opération IMPACT

  Le 27 mars 2023 – Ottawa (Ontario) – Défense nationale/Forces armées canadiennes Aujourd’hui, l’honorable Anita Anand, ministre de la Défense nationale, a annoncé que le gouvernement du Canada a prolongé l’opération IMPACT jusqu’au 31 mars 2025. L’opération IMPACT est la mission des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) au Moyen-Orient. Dans le cadre de cette mission, les FAC renforcent les capacités militaires de partenaires régionaux et réunissent les conditions nécessaires pour que stabilité et sécurité règnent dans la région. Les efforts militaires déployés par le Canada sont variés et comprennent des contributions à la Coalition internationale contre Daech, à la mission de l’OTAN en Irak, ainsi qu’au renforcement des capacités militaires de l’Irak, de la Jordanie et du Liban. La prolongation de l’opération permettra aux FAC de poursuivre leur rôle important visant à soutenir les partenaires dans la région aux fins d’avancement de la paix et de la sécurité. L’opération IMPACT se poursuivra et conservera le même mandat : les FAC apporteront des contributions visant l’opération INHERENT RESOLVE, le niveau d’effort militaire sous l’égide de la Coalition internationale contre Daech et la mission de l’OTAN en Irak. Par ailleurs, les FAC appuieront toujours l’entraînement et le renforcement des capacités de façon bilatérale en collaboration avec les forces armées jordaniennes et libanaises, et elles continueront d’offrir à la coalition un soutien aérien ponctuel depuis leur carrefour de soutien opérationnel au Koweït. La présence du personnel des FAC au Moyen-Orient et l’exécution de programmes d’aide axés sur le renforcement des capacités appuient les forces de sécurité de nos partenaires dans la région, ce qui accroît la stabilité et la sécurité au Moyen-Orient.  Citations « Les membres de notre personnel en déploiement dans le cadre de l’opération IMPACT contribuent à promouvoir la stabilité et la sécurité au Moyen‑Orient. Lors de ma visite en décembre dernier, j’ai pu constater directement à quel point leur présence compte beaucoup pour nos partenaires et nos alliés. Les Forces armées canadiennes contribuent à la prospérité de la région et renforcent également la sécurité. La prolongation annoncée aujourd’hui témoigne une fois de plus de l’engagement du Canada envers nos partenaires de la région et nos alliés de l’OTAN. » L’honorable Anita Anand, ministre de la Défense nationale Faits en bref Depuis le lancement de l’opération IMPACT en 2014, les FAC ont offert de l’instruction à 4 500 membres des forces de sécurité irakiennes, à plus de 3 400 membres des forces armées libanaises et à 400 membres des forces armées jordaniennes. À l’appui de la coalition, le Canada forme, conseille et appuie les forces de sécurité irakiennes et a déployé du personnel pour améliorer le transport tactique dans le théâtre, y compris l’évacuation des blessés, au besoin. Le quartier général de la Force opérationnelle interarmées – IMPACT et le carrefour de soutien opérationnel continuent de mener leurs opérations au Koweït. Dans le cadre de l’opération IMPACT, des CC-130J Hercules fournissent un soutien aérien tactique ponctuel en assurant le transport du personnel et de la marchandise dans la zone d’opérations interarmées.  Liens connexes Coalition internationale de lutte contre Daech (en anglais) Opération IMPACT https://www.canada.ca/fr/ministere-defense-nationale/nouvelles/2023/03/la-ministre-de-la-defenseanitaanand-annonce-la-prolongation-de-loperationimpact.html

  Calian Re-Wins Significant Defence Training Contract Valued at up to $170 Million

  OTTAWA -- Calian Group Ltd. (TSX: CGY) is pleased to announce that it has been selected to deliver a significant training contract for the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Army Simulation Centre (CASC). The initial term of the Training and Support Services Contract is valued at $93 million over five years. With two optional extension periods of two years each, the aggregate contract value over the full nine-year period is approximately $170 million. The current Training and Support Services Contract expires March 31, 2019 and management expects demand on the new contract will continue to run at current levels. Through CASC, a Center of Excellence for Constructive Simulation, the Canadian Army accepts training projects on behalf of its own members as well as other branches of the Canadian Armed Forces and federal government departments. For these training exercises, Calian's expert team of some 600 full- and part-time resources apply their substantial experience, knowledge and passion to create realistic and cost-effective synthetic training environments. Calian Training ensures maximum value from the training delivered through CASC while preparing future military leaders and security authorities for events in which failure is unacceptable. Through CASC, Calian Training also designs and delivers complex, multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional emergency management exercises to help ensure safety and security readiness for major events. These exercises have supported the Vancouver Olympics and G7, G8 and G20 world leader summits in Canada. Calian, an award-winning veteran friendly employer, has proudly supported military training and Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) operational readiness through this contract for over 20 years. Calian and CASC have developed tools and a framework and methodology supporting a wide range of military and emergency management training exercises for government and military clients, nationally and internationally. In partnership with CASC, Calian's skilled exercise design experts have integrated custom 2D/3D software for virtual and constructive simulation exercises, tailored to specified training objectives. The result is a total immersive training experience that replicates the operational environment that the CAF or customer may face. “Our innovative technology solutions allow the training audience to be immersed into complex environments, complete with real-world considerations such as simulated social media channels. These tools, combined with our passionate, expert employees, put us in a position to offer these complex exercises and training programs,” said Donald Whitty, Vice President, Calian Training. “We're seeing increased demand for the expertise we bring to CASC, particularly in the field of emergency management. There's no company quite like Calian to deliver these specialized, innovative and scalable services.” “This contract supports the CAF and the customer retention pillar of our four pillar growth framework. For Calian, supporting the operational readiness of the Canadian Forces is more than just a commitment – it's a passion and a privilege. I'm proud of our delivery of state-of-the-art, realistic learning and training exercises that help keep soldiers and all Canadians safe,” added Kevin Ford, President and CEO, Calian. “The innovation happening at Calian Training, and with CASC, is very exciting. Calian's advanced toolset is integrated with those of the Canadian Armed Forces, demonstrating our focus on continuous process improvement both at Calian and in the work we do with our customers.” To see exclusive footage from inside a CFB Kingston training facility, watch Calian's three-minute video on CASC here.
