Expect to see an increased presence of military vehicles on area roads this weekend.
Personnel from 31 Service Battalion, London Support Company will conduct driver and convoy operations training in the London, St. Thomas, Aylmer, Simcoe area.
This is regular, scheduled training that keeps personnel and units ready to respond to missions in Canada — like floods and wildfires — and in support of international stability operations.
The vehicles will be travelling along Highbury Avenue and Highway 3 tomorrow through Sunday. Participating personnel will remain in their vehicles except for maintenance purposes.
The training is being undertaken to keep local Canadian Army Reserve members’ skills current on convoy drills, unit discipline and on the safe and effective operation of specific vehicle platforms.
Measures are being taken to ensure minimum inconvenience to the public at this time and motorists are asked to take extra caution when approaching military vehicles.
