The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's) is an infantry regiment of the Canadian Armed Forces based on Vancouver Island British Columbia.
The regiment located in Victoria, Nanaimo, and Courtenay, British Columbia. It is part of 39 Canadian Brigade Group, the headquarters for all of the army reserves in BC.
One of four infantry regiments in BC, the Canadian Scottish is the largest reserve unit in Western Canada and continues to evolve operationally.
As a light infantry regiment they rely on their dismounted skills to be successful. At a recent exercise for example, the Regiment conducted raids, reconnaissance patrolling, ambushes, amphibious operations and airmobile operations.
The Regiment trains to meet the realities of the “Three Block War” – warfighting, peacekeeping, and humanitarian support.
