Lieutenant General Peter Devlin, Chief of the Land Staff and the Army Regimental Sergeant Major Chief Warrant Officer Giovanni Moretti visit the Canadian troops deployed to southern Afghanistan. They took that opportunity to highlight the work the Canadian Army has done, and to receive feedback from the troops.
Task Force Kandahar will continue robust security operations in conjunction with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, Afghan National Security Forces, and its coalition and civilian partners in order to eliminate insurgent violence and set the conditions for successful and sustainable governance, development and peace in southern Afghanistan.

LAV III

Master Corporal John Richards, a member of 2nd Battalion Royal Canadian Regiment, commands a LAV III Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) around the Sydney airport airfield talking visitors to the show for a 5 min ride.
This fast, well-armed LAV III is a state-of-the-art troop carrier that will serve the needs of mounted infantry well into the new century. The vehicle is well protected and can be used day and night, in all weather conditions, in battlefield smoke and on most types of terrain. Capable of speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour on roads, the LAV III will give the commander many more options in both combat and non-combat situations.
Part of the Cape Breton Heritage Festival, “Show of Force Weekend ~ Cape Breton Air Show” was held from June 3 to 5 at venues in and around Sydney, Nova Scotia.
The JA Douglas McCurdy Sydney Airport was buzzing with excitement with the Air Show, featuring the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the CF SkyHawks Parachute Team, a CF-18 Hornet fighter jet aerial demo, a Seaking and Cormorant helicopter and a C130 Hercules and Aurora aircraft.

Canadian Forces vehicles drive southbound on Highway 1 towards Kandahar Airfield in the last CF convoy from Camp Julien in Kabul, Afghanistan.
With the handover of Camp Julien to the government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan on November 29 2005, this convoy was the last to transport equipment, supplies and personnel to Kandahar from Camp Julien. The Canadian presence at Kandahar Airfield continues to grow so that by February 2006, there will be a brigade level headquarters and a 2000-strong task force.
After the Afghan National Assembly and Provincial Council elections, the Canadian Forces completed their mandate in Kabul in October 2005. Canada continues its strong defence commitment to Afghanistan by concentrating Canadian Forces personnel and equipment to the Kandahar region.

Bushmaster

The Australian International Airshow 2011 at Avalon in Victoria is not just about aircraft. One such place is the 'Avalon Arena' which is set up very much like a 4x4 test track. On display are many types of military all-terrain vehicles and prototypes. Such vehicles include the Bushmaster IMV (Infantry Mobility Vehicle) 4×4 armoured vehicle which is currently deployed within Afghanistan for the Australian Army. Also on show is Thales Australia's Bushmaster Single Cab Utility prototype (shown), which may replace a fleet of over 2,000 Australian Defence Force field vehicles under evaluation for LAND 121 Phase 3 program's Medium Heavy Capability component. Thales Australia's Bushmaster Single Cab Utility has been selected for the next stage of the tender evaluation process in the medium-weight category. The Bushmaster armoured vehicle, developed by Thales Australia (formerly ADI Limited) in Australia is in full production at Thales's protected mobility systems manufacturing facility at Bendigo, Victoria.
