    From their tunnel entrances, prairie dogs will stand upright for a better vantage point or to communicate more effectively. This method of positioning has come to be known as “prairie dogging.” While effective for the small mammal, it may not represent a suitable technique for most soldiers training during Exercise Maple Resolve 14 here May 5 through June 1. In fact, prairie dogging in a tactical environment may end up being quite messy. Soldiers who use this technique face the possibility of overexposure to enemy forces. Prairie dogging is best left to the prairie dog. During EX MR14, Approximately 5,000 Canadian, British and U.S. troops participated in the cumulating collective training event that validates the Canadian Army’s High Readiness Force for operations assigned to it by the Canadian government through the Chief of Defense Staff.
