The Battalion less ‘C’ company went to Canada for Exercise POND JUMP WEST in September 1970 for six weeks. They flew to Edmonton via Gander. They eventually arrived in Camp Wainwright and prepared for a five week training cycle.  They started with company training which was linked to working with the supporting arms.  This culminated in a Battalion exercise where all the lessons learned were practiced with live firing exercises. The Canadian enemy forces for this part of the exercise had been removed due to operations against a group known as Liberation of Quebec (FLQ)
