British Army Training in Canada

Set in the expansive and rugged Canadian prairie of Alberta, the British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) spans over 1,000 square miles. This unique training ground, historically significant as a hunting and combat area for the Blackfoot, Cree, and Sioux tribes, offers a stark landscape that contrasts with traditional military environments. The geographical features and historical context provide a distinctive backdrop for military exercises, enhancing the training experience in this semi-barren terrain.
