Forty Canadian Rangers and ten Ranger instructors from the five Canadian Ranger Patrol Groups will participate in a pilot Canadian Ranger Patrol Leader or CRPL course, which will be held at Farnham Garrison, Quebec. The course starts Saturday and runs until May 28.

The Canadian Army says this course is an important milestone in its efforts to modernize the Canadian Rangers.

The training will focus on the duties and responsibilities associated with leadership positions in a patrol: use of task procedure, conducting a patrol in an area of responsibility, establishing a firing range, constructing an austere landing airstrip and landing point, patrol administration, basic exercise training, and command of a patrol.

The CRPL course is aimed at all Canadian Rangers occupying a patrol leadership position.

“We are continuing the momentum created by the pilot Canadian Ranger Basic Military Indoctrination course that took place last April to now support the Canadian Ranger patrol leadership,” Brigadier-General Rob Roy MacKenzie, Canadian Ranger National Authority, said in a statement.
