CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - More than 1,600 reservists from the Canadian Army Reserves have partnered with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Marines for Exercise Noble Guerrier 2012 (Noble Warrior 2012), a large-scale exercise hosted by MCB Camp Lejeune, Jan. 1-8.
The reservists from Quebec Province, eastern Canada, are training with Marines aboard MCB Camp Lejeune through a variety of real-world simulations. Conducting five missions in five days, this high tempo of operations allow the troops to fully benefit from the great training infrastructures aboard MCB Camp Lejeune.
