The training will not involve dismount drills unless vehicle breakdowns occur, and military vehicles may be seen on Highway 403, Highway 6, Campbellville Road, and throughout Hamilton and surrounding areas.

These exercises are conducted to ensure Canadian Army Reserve members know how to operate specific vehicle platforms and stay up to date on convoy drills.

The impact on the community and drivers in the area should be minimal but members of the public are still reminded to exercise extra caution when approaching military vehicles.
