Canadian Army soldiers from 3rd Battalion, Royal 22e RĂ©giment, prepare to move out from a landing area after disembarking from a CH-147 Chinook helicopter in the training area of Fort Greely, Alaska, United States, during training at the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center on March 16, 2022.

Canadian Army recommended troops heading to Alaskan military exercise earlier this year be issued 1960s vintage sleeping bags after soldiers complain that their new bedrolls, which cost taxpayers $34.8 million, were not suitable for “for typical Canadian winter conditions.”
