Exercise TRIDENT FURY 2025 (Ex TF25) concluded yesterday following two weeks of multinational training activities conducted across southern Vancouver Island. The exercise brought together over 1,000 military personnel, including five Royal Canadian Navy vessels, Royal Canadian Air Force aircrafts, Canadian Army personnel, and ships from the United States Navy, United States Coast Guard, and Mexican Navy.
Hosted by Maritime Forces Pacific, Ex TF25 focused on enhancing interoperability among allied and partner forces across a range of operations. These included anti-submarine warfare, uncrewed aircraft systems, gunnery and air defence, mine countermeasures, maritime interdiction, and defence against small boat attacks. This year's iteration also included participation by the 4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group, whose members contributed to surveillance training and sovereignty protection tasks.
Exercises like TRIDENT FURY are essential to sustaining the operational readiness of the Canadian Armed Forces and ensuring they remain agile and responsive in an evolving security environment. The successful completion of Ex TF25 demonstrates Canada's commitment to advancing joint capability development and strengthening defence partnerships in support of regional and global stability.
