Operation Nanook is an annual Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) exercise held across the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Labrador with the goal to show sovereignty in the north, improve its ability to operate in the Arctic, improve coordination with indigenous, territorial, and federal governments and partners, and work with mission partners to respond to safety and security issues in the north. It is the latter, safety issues, that are of interest this year as exercise READY SOTERIA 2018 (RESA 2018) was put into action as part of Op Nanook to validate whether this particular contingency plan is appropriate and meets the needs for which it was developed. For interests sake, SOTERIA is the Greek goddess of safety and deliverance from harm.
