Military training will be taking place in Picton on Wednesday.
Students and instructors from the Peace Support Training Centre in Kingston will undertake area assessments of the local community to train in the conduct of Civil-Military Cooperation.
An area assessment is a survey that gains knowledge about the community, its infrastructure, and its capabilities.
For training realism, students will go out into the area, take pictures, talk with local residents, and try to understand the dynamics of the town.
The training will have minimal impact on the community. CIMIC is a function that supports a military mission by establishing and maintaining coordination and cooperation between the military and civil authorities.
The exercise will be carried out between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
