COVID-19 has impacted all of us on both a personal and professional level.\u00a0 Institutionally, it has challenged us to adapt our training, technical, and personnel management processes in innovative ways. Preparations for HMCS <\/span>Halifax\u2019s<\/span><\/i> departure on January 1st were no different, with the added complication of an aggressive timeline to ensure the ship was technically ready, crewed, and trained to succeed in operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Le NCSM <\/span>Halifax\u2019s<\/span><\/i> team met these challenges right from the beginning, having to perform major maintenance and readiness training while under various states of provincial restrictions on movements and workforce availability. This required creative solutions to ensure the program moved forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis pre-deployment period presented challenges that our team had never faced before as we had to improvise and work harder to make sure we met high readiness status prior to deploying,\u201d said PO2 Greg Cousineau, <\/span>Halifax\u2019<\/span><\/i>s Operations Room Supervisor. \u201cIt\u2019s not only the motivation and hard work that our sailors put in that allowed us to exceed expectations, but also the families at home who supported us and enabled us to perform to the level that we did.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it was leveraging technology to hold training from sailors homes to isolating onboard while alongside to conduct training that would normally be held at one of the schools, the HMCS <\/span>Halifax<\/span><\/i> team and Maritime Forces Atlantic support services worked tirelessly to successfully achieve all of the milestones toward the ship reaching the highest state of readiness. Similarly, technical authorities and staff from the Fleet Maintenance Facility Cape Scott had to work through strict precautions, sometimes limiting the amount of simultaneous work that was required, to ensure all mechanical and combat systems were in the best shape possible for a long deployment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout all of the preparations and at-sea periods leading up to the deployment, the health and safety of the crew and all outside support remained paramount. Prior to proceeding to sea for workups and the eventual deployment, the crew were put under strict quarantine requirements to reduce the risk of infection once the ship was at sea. The support of shipmates from other fleet units during these periods was invaluable and demonstrated the team spirit inherent in today\u2019s Royal Canadian Navy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have reached this point through the positive attitude, imagination, ingenuity, and perseverance from our entire team of military and civilians here in Maritime Forces Atlantic,\u201d said Cdr Chris Rochon, the ships\u2019s Commanding Officer. \u201cSupport from fleet and formation staff, other ship\u2019s companies, the technical teams at our Fleet Maintenance Facility, the Personnel Coordination Center, the evaluators and mentors from sea training and our fleet school, and the base support services was critical.\u201d<\/p>\n

These combined efforts are enabling the RCN training system to continue to generate well trained and equipped, globally-deployable high-readiness naval forces that remain \u201cReady to Help, Ready to Lead and Ready to Fight\u201d on behalf of Canadians.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
