Military personnel participated a simulated humanitarian mission while effectively operating and sustaining a deployed operating base. The exercise was also designed to train military personnel in the non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) of civilians from another country during a deteriorating security situation. Military personnel from 436 Transport Squadron, 8 Wing Trenton, Ont., and the Royal 22e Regiment participated in the exercise held at 8 Wing\u2019s Mountain View training area.<\/p>\n<p>436 Sqn is typically tasked with carrying personnel and materiel on a global response basis and must be prepared to deliver 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Tactical flying is an equally important part of any 436 Sqn mission. The skills associated with aerial delivery of troops and equipment by parachute or delivery of humanitarian aid to isolated and austere locations are increasingly sought after as part of Canada&#8217;s contribution to operations around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: Cpl Darcy Lefebvre<br \/>\n\u00a9 2011 DND-MDN Canada<\/p>\n<p>FA2011-0043-06<br \/>\nLe 6 octobre 2011<br \/>\nTrenton, en Ontario<\/p>\n<p>Un CC-130J Hercules avec le num\u00e9ro d\u2019avion 130612, survole, atterrit et d\u00e9colle durant l\u2019exercice MOUNTAIN STAR. <\/p>\n<p>L\u2019exercice Mountain Star a \u00e9t\u00e9 men\u00e9 afin que les militaires maintiennent les capacit\u00e9s acquises dans des op\u00e9rations a\u00e9riennes exp\u00e9ditionnaires modernes et qu\u2019ils en acqui\u00e8rent de nouvelles.
