Stay ConnectedThis podcast is for and about soldiers of the Canadian Army.
Its primary goal is to provide them with useful information through thoughtful and open discussions that reflect their mutual interests and concerns.
Though soldiers are our primary audience, the topics covered on this podcast should be relevant to anyone who supports our soldiers or who has an interest in Canadian military matters.

Individual training (IT) is the training that teaches each soldier their particular trade skills. Whether its gunners, tank crew, or infantry soldiers, all have specialized training courses. As part of the response to the COVID-19 emergency, IT was put on hold. The Canadian Army is now about to resume IT again, at first in a limited way, at the Combat Training Centre in New Brunswick and at some other locations across the country. Our guest is Colonel Cayle Oberwarth, Commander of the Combat Training Centre and the Army Individual Training Authority.
