Canadian Rangers, US National Guard units and officer cadets from the Royal Military College in Kingston will take part in the training.
The exercise will include winter survival, outdoor tactical training, moving soldiers and equipment in severe conditions, setting up defences in snow and ice conditions as well as treating injuries from cold weather operations.
Apart from warfare training for soldiers, the exercise will also involve training in areas such as logistics, support, transportation and medical needs, according to Global Research.
