It will take place July 27 through Aug. 7 at the Romanian Land Force Combat Training Center in Cincu, Romania. In support of allied and partner nations, more than 2,500 soldiers from 11 countries will partake in the exercise designed to improve interoperability within a multinational brigade. The Canadian Army welcomes opportunities to train regularly with its closest allies to enhance cooperation and expand interoperability between forces.

Exercise SABER GUARDIAN 2016 will feature a computer-simulated exercise combined with a field training portion, leading up to a joint live-fire event. The Canadian Army will be taking a leadership role in the exercise, with key personnel overseeing combat support planning, as well as information and knowledge management processes.

Participation in SABER GUARDIAN contributes to the operational readiness of the Canadian Armed Forces, allowing the CAF to meet the likely tasks that the Government of Canada will assign.
