Members of the Canadian Army Advanced Warfare Centre (CAAWC), carry their parachutes on board an Alaska Air National Guard C-130 aircraft during an Arctic Search and Rescue Exercise (Arctic SAREX) on Oct. 30, 2013. The exercise involved a parachute jump to a simulated major air disaster (MAJAID) scenario along with drops of specialized survival equipment needed to sustain survivors in the arctic climate. The Army parachutists were participating alongside Canadian Armed Forces Search and Rescue technicians and United States Air Force para-rescuers during the SAREX, involving a response to simulated airliner crash along the Alaska/Yukon border. Cross-border SAREXs are conducted regularly to ensure both Canadian and American SAR personnel are familiar with each others' operations in the event of an emergency response involving crews from both the Canadian Armed Forces and U.S. military.
