Located at CFB Wainwright, Alberta, the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre (CMTC) is a formation of the Canadian Army's Land Force Doctrine and Training System. CMTC exists to deliver collective training within a realistic and immersive contemporary operating environment.
Established in 2004, CMTC delivered its first Exercise MAPLE GUARDIAN, designed to train task forces deploying to Afghanistan, in 2006. Since the end of the Canadian combat mission in Afghanistan, CMTC designs and delivers Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE to train Brigade Groups engaged in high-readiness training.
As well, CMTC delivers a Reserve-heavy exercise, Exercise MAPLE DEFENDER.
CMTC employs both technology and imagination to represent the conditions found within modern operations as authentically as possible. Personnel and vehicles participating in the exercises are equipped with laser-based devices, the Weapons Effects Simulation System (WES), that objectively register kills, wounds of varying severity, and near misses.
