MILITARY EMC
A FEATURED SPECIAL SESSION AT EMC 2016!
EMC 2016 General Chair, Kris Hatashita, is no stranger to this topic. He has first-hand experience doing EMC testing in Afghanistan on two vehicles deployed by the Canadian Army. He traveled to Kandahar Air Field to test the EROC (Expedient Route Opening Capability) and ended up on the front-line at a forward operating base called Ma Sum Ghar to test the ARV (Armoured Recovery Vehicle). Read about his adventure that included a flight in a Black Hawk below 150 feet through a war zone and a front row seat during a battle between the Canadian Army and the Taliban Insurgency.

CANADA MILITARY HISTORY:
The Canadian Army draws on a heritage of colonial militias dating back to the earliest European settlements in North America. For several generations prior to the Canadian Confederation in 1867, Canada was garrisoned by British and French military units. The Canadian Army’s true beginnings came after Confederation. In 1871, the last British imperial units withdrew from Canada and the country effectively became responsible for its own defense. In 1876, the Royal Military College of Canada was established in Kingston, Ontario to professionalize the officer corps. Seven years later, Canada raised permanent infantry and cavalry units, mainly to train the part-time Militia and to act as an internal security force. Today Canada plays an important role in United Nations peacekeeping operations worldwide and has cumulatively committed more troops than any other country.
