RCN sailors get taste of Army life on Op UNIFIER<\/h3>\n

Par Ryan Melanson,
\nL\u2019\u00e9quipe du Trident<\/p>\n

A long deployment away from home is nothing unusual for Canadian sailors, and there are normally certain constants they can look forward to, like the daily routines of life at sea, camaraderie with shipmates, and hot soup every morning.<\/p>\n

Canadian and Ukrainian military members conduct winter warfare training in January as part of Op UNIFIER in Ukraine.
JOINT TASK FORCE UKRAINE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For a group of Royal Canadian Navy members currently deployed to Operation UNIFIER in Ukraine, however, the experience has been a little different. The mission, which has been ongoing since 2015 and focuses on training and support to the Security Forces of Ukraine, is led by members of 1st Battalion, Royal 22e R\u00e9giment., and entering the Army environment can be an adjustment for those with Navy backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Trident recently spoke with some of the sailors who have been in Ukraine since mid-September as part of Op UNIFIER ROTO 6. For operational security reasons, they will be referred to only by their rank and trade.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the big differences is just that nobody knows what your rank is called,\u201d said a Lieutenant(Navy) working in the Intelligence Section.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re just a little different from everybody else, and people might look at you a little strangely until a couple of months pass, people get to know you, and you become part of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that his naval experience has also been beneficial on occasion, such as after a recent security incident in the Black Sea\/Kerch Strait, an area he was previously familiar with.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving the Navy background came in handy in that it enabled me to speak intelligently on the topic and other naval matters that might affect Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another member, a Leading Seaman working as one of six CAF linguists on the mission, said he\u2019s enjoyed a deployment that allows for more fresh air and less time below the decks of a ship. He added, however, he\u2019s been a bit overwhelmed by the number of people he interacts with each week in his linguist role, and has trouble recalling names, as opposed to speaking with the same colleagues each day during an at-sea deployment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find that part a bit strange. There are people on this deployment who I might not see for weeks at a time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The most significant part of the deployment for the Leading Seaman, however, has been returning home. His family moved to Canada from Ukraine in 2002, and he\u2019s been lobbying to join Op UNIFIER as a linguist since Canada began supporting the mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy job is to link people who can only speak English with the people from our host nation and facilitate the dialogue between the two on whatever topic is required,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I have a unique set of skills among CAF members, so I saw it as a chance to utilize that and contribute to the mission. It\u2019s a bit weird being here in uniform, and the country has changed a lot since we left in 2002, but I\u2019m honestly just happy to be useful to the CAF.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another linguist on the deployment, a Lieutenant(Navy) who has previously sailed on a six-month Op REASSURANCE trip, said he enjoyed being in a supporting role working alongside Army colleagues, but that he\u2019s now looking forward to his next chance to head to sea.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverytime I would step on a jetty during my 2015 Op REASSURANCE, it would be a different country with all kind of opportunities to explore. Op UNIFIER has definitely changed my look on operations, and I will definitely appreciate more of what we are doing in the Navy.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
