Ed: We do our best with our limited resources, including manpower to cover as many RMCC & RMCSJ events as possible. We rely greatly on the person(s) in charge to provide heads-up time and a post event short writeup. At RMCC we can usually (not always) cover the event with a camera. At RMCSJ we rely on photos & articles be sent to us in a timely manner.
Two Officers from Sweden Visit RMCC
The RMCC had the pleasure of hosting two officers from Sweden the 10 and 11 October 2013. These two officers from the Pansarbataljon of the Norrbottens Regemente came to visit RMCC in order to learn about the training and educations our OCdts receive. Indeed the changes the Swedish Army experiences with its transition from a conscript to a professional army motivated these two officers to learn from the Canadian Armed Forces. On the picture, LCol Sylvain Beauséjour, Associate Vice-Principal Academic and Coordinator for International Engagement receives, on behalf of the Commandant, a regimental flag from Capt Mats Johansson and a regimental plaque from Capt Fredrick Lindgren.
Le CMRC a eu le plaisir d’accueillir deux officiers de la Suède les 10 et 11 octobre 2013. Ces deux officiers de la Pansarbataljon du Norrbottens Regemente ont visité le CMRC pour en apprendre davantage sur la formation et l’éducation que nos élèves-officiers reçoivent. En effet, les changements subits par l’armée suédoise avec sa transition d’une armée de conscription à une armée professionnelle a motivé ces deux officiers à apprendre des Forces armées canadiennes. Sur la photo, le lcol Sylvain Beauséjour, vice-principal associé (académique) et coordonnateur pour l’engagement international reçoit, au nom du Commandant, un drapeau régimentaire du capt Mats Johansson et une plaque régimentaire du Capt Fredrick Lindgren.
