Italian Maltese joint exercise ''Canale 09''



The Italo-Maltese training exercise “Canale” this year returns to the Italian bay of Augusta in Sicily. This major joint training event is being held between the 18th and the 25th September 09. Its aim is to promote co-operation and peace in the Mediterranean region, with particular emphasis on the “5 + 5 Initiative” in this area. Exercise training activities will be focused on maritime Search-and-Rescue (SAR) and Maritime Law Enforcement (MLE) joint and combined operations.

Planned and organized by the Italian Joint Operational Headquarters (IT JOHQ), the exercise is coordinated by the Italian Navy along with the Italian Air Force, the Carabinieri and Italian Coast Guard utilizing its Maritime Rescue Coordinator Centre (MRCC) of Catania (with regards the relative SAR training-activity). This is the 16th edition of the exercise which involves naval and air units invited from Mediterranean countries forming part of the “5 + 5 Process”. Such training is in line with larger, already existing, regional initiatives (Mediterranean Dialogue and EUROMED), and make exercise “Canale 09” a significant practical facility for Confidence Building Measures (CBM) and a major step forward to the operational dimension of the “5 + 5 Initiative”. The exercise enables practical activity which the 10-nation group utilize in enhancing dialogue between the Northern and Southern shores of the Mediterranean basin.

Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Portugal, Spain and Tunisia have accepted the invitation to take part. Participation is normally by means of deployed surface or air assets, but some nations instead send staff personnel to be integrated in all the exercise phases at various operational levels. The exercise has been organized into a number of distinct phases, each designed to exercise its participants in a number of different skills. All assigned tasks will focus towards soft-security issues rather than more traditional war-fighting skills.

The exercise aims at achieving improved cooperation using the operational capabilities of the participating air and naval forces. This is met through training respective participating Commands in the use of common standard procedures so as to promote co-operation between “5+5 Initiative” nations.

It also involves training respective Naval and Air Commands/Units in the planning of Maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) Operations and the correct use of SAR-techniques when assisting personnel and vessels in distress at sea. This helps to foster and exercise forms of integration and co-operation between participating Forces in MLE operations, in order to counter illicit activities at sea and the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)

To counter WMD trafficking, units will train in the deployment of security and inspection teams to conduct board and search operations onboard vessels. This ties in with training by Explosives and Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams in detecting Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) and underwater EOD operations. Such MLE training scenarios simulate naval operations aimed at denying transit activities made by pirates at sea. Simulated piracy attacks will involve the naval force in engaging the pirates and disrupting their attacks from being carried out.

Whilst the exercise is underway, training shall promote the use of Virtual – Regional Maritime Traffic Centre (V-RMTC) tools in order to develop an Exercise-dedicated Recognized Maritime Merchant Picture (RMMP). This also helps implement and employ a common communications plan for the command and control of joint and combined operations at sea.

On Friday 25th September, 2009, the Exercise “Canale” Directing-Staff (DS) will host distinguished visitors from the Italian and Maltese governments onboard Italian Navy Ship “Foscari”. From there, they will be briefed on the level of interoperability and capability developed within the framework of “Canale 09” during the “Post-Exercise (Postex) Conference”.
