Sleep a little Prozac just sounds throughout the country you know hey and it's like the Canadian band Nickelback need soon after the rain Forces Radio b f b s now talking off Canada normally based in also a brigadier Jonathan called a Smith is the defense advisor for the British Army and the High Commission recently paid a visit to the British Army Training Unit Suffield the batter's as is better known a b f b s Canada's Frank McCarthy started off by asking the Brigadier what his job entailed job largely is like an ambassador or a high commissioner to work on the relationship between the u.k. And Canada specifically therefore as an army brigadier my job is to try and bring together the Canadian Forces and the British forces and to make sure that the relationship is coherent I have specific responsibilities at the sort of strategic level so to make sure that the Defense Minister Michael Fallon and the Canadian Defense Minister Hodges and they are completely coherent with each other they understand each other's policies and that the chief of defense staff level I manage the relationship between the 2 chiefs of Defense doffed specifically on the Army side and I guess one of the reasons why I get to visit batters 3 or 4 times a year I'm making sure that the Canadian army and the British army are working well together the interoperability the exchange program between officers and our ability to exercise together which we're seeing some of that at the moment in Battersea works well what spots were like How different was it from your expectations also is a great town to live in it's largely just a government town I'm sure your listeners know that Canada is a big country and so quite a lot of the commerce the i.t. Heavy industry is spread across the country in different places with shipbuilding clearly being on the 2 coasts Halifax and Vancouver or Victoria with a lot of the i.t. And banking and insurance industry being down in Toronto. And much of the aerospace being in Montreal so to her is very government focused you know lots of the other embassies and high commissions there and it's a small town in comparison to some of the other big places but it's a great place to live and work and close to the gas now in Algonquin Park so although it's not so spectacular in scenery as you might have over here in d.c. It's still a really nice place to live and work you mention you come here quite often each year specifically what's the reason for this particular visit Well we're running at the moment exercise on strike 2 which is an experimentation exercise where the British Army is looking to wards what sort of activity it's doing in the future in this strike brigade concept it's a new concept it's going to be a series of new vehicles and I've been supporting the exercise by encouraging the Canadian army to get involved we've got a company of infantry light armored vehicles taking part in the exercise and I wanted to come out and see it firsthand how that was working we've had a number of other senior visitors both from the British and the Canadian armies out and my ability to go into the Canadian army headquarters and have discussions with the command of Canadian army is really informed and given great context by coming out here personally and seeing how the exercise is working how the interaction is going and what lessons we can draw from the Canadians on the way that they use this light armored vehicle because it's going to be a similar way to how we are going to be using it in the doctrine that we put together for the future what's been the most unexpected thing of your visit and the last few days I think is I spent the last 10 days doing Invictus Games part of my job has been to assist the British contingent at the Invictus Games and a number of V.I.P.'s and senior officers that came out to view that we had crazy hot weather in Toronto last week it was between 36 and 38 degrees so arriving here directly from warm Toronto and sitting in a briefing to be told that we were going to have to pause the exercise because a snowstorm was coming through I think that's probably the most unexpected thing I mean most of the stuff that I see it Battus a lot of it I've seen before and I've been here as an. Sizing troops on many occasions from I think 987 was the 1st time I came here is full of savation officer I'm an artillery officer by background so I've been back as a battery commander and as a commanding officer working in the brigade headquarters here so I know about this quite well but even at the end of September beginning of October to have this sort of freak weather I think that was quite unexpected for me and I certainly haven't brought the right clothing can I ask you what's impressed you the most during your visit so far you know I think the ability said enjoying the weather the ability for the soldiers or on exercise and the staff that are here to be able to continue to run the exercise and get on with it that's definitely impressed me I think the relationship between the British and Canadian militaries and the way in a very seamless manner that the Canadians have moved into the exercise in a supporting it it's really quite heartening to see the way that the Canadians can be subsumed into a British battle group and work on trying a long side each other in a very seamless manner that's really impressed me and finally I have a message for battle keep doing what you're doing it's really appreciated back in u.k. I see the results of that both strategically in the ministry of defense and in the Canadian Department national defense and although people might not say it very often the work that's being done here is really valuable. To you and me. While I'm watching. You. Town of La. Vista had in the. To. The future done A woman whose heart.
