On 26 August 2018, the LdSH(RC) Immediate Response Unit (IRU)Vanguard Company (Coy) along with supporting HQ elements departed for Vernon to engage a familiar enemy, the wildfires raging across British Columbia.
From April 20 to May 3, 2018, B Sqn deployed 9 personnel to Wainwright in support of A Sqn on Ex REFLEX RAPIDE.
Shooters in two ranks faced each other in preparation for basic Gunfighter training.

Another fall training cycle is upon us, which means it is time for the Regiment to qualify soldiers in the art of gunnery on the Leopard 2 MBT.
As members of B Squadron woke up bright and early on the weekend of 20 February 2016, they awoke ready for two weeks of thrilling training in Fort Hood, Texas.
