Early in January 2026, members of The Calgary Highlanders, The King’s Own Calgary Regiment, and 15 Field Ambulance completed the Cold Weather Operator (CWO) Course by participating in the field training portion at Rocky Mountain Cadet Camp.

The training focused on realistic cold weather warfare and fieldcraft skills required of course candidates, preparing soldiers to operate effectively in austere environments, including the Arctic, in advance of Operation NANOOK-NUNALIVUT.
