Veil of Secrecy Lifted in JTF2 Demonstration (8/25/2012)
First Aired 8/25/2012
Canada's top secret task force isn't so secret anymore, emerging from the shadows and landing in the public spotlight Friday in an unprecedented show of its specialized military skills.
Members of Joint Task Force 2, an elite group praised for its counter-terrorism operations around the world, participated in a complex simulation exercise in Hudson Bay and Churchill, Man., in front of cameras for the first time, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Defence Minister Peter MacKay looked on.
The simulation was part of Operation Nanook 12's annual summer exercises and involved dropping Joint Task Force 2 operators from Griffon helicopters on a "vessel of interest," played in the scenario by an oil-and-gas exploration ship from Cape Breton. Other soldiers, clad in black, surrounded the ship on inflatable boats.
The exercise helps special forces prepare for any ships entering Canadian waters illegally and other sea, land or air threats. Daniele Hamamdjian reports. - CTV News
