Canadian special forces spy plane unit sees staff exodus(9 de Dezembro de 2024)
A lack of leadership and training opportunities sparked an exodus of most of the specialists needed to operate a new fleet of military surveillance aircraft, an internal Canadian Forces investigation found.
Canadian special forces command had six sensor operators that had been assigned to work the various high-tech systems on the CE-145C Vigilance aircraft.
But those personnel in Trenton were left largely on their own, with no training program or overall direction from the special forces headquarters in Ottawa or their home unit, 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron, in Petawawa, according to records viewed by the Ottawa Citizen.
"There is perceived and real lack of support from both the unit and HQ," noted the internal military investigation completed in May 2023. That, combined with the continual delays in the delivery of the new planes, prompted four of the operators to either leave the military or transfer out of special forces. "The impact of losing 4 (sensor operators) is going to be felt for some time," the investigation concluded.
While the numbers of sensor operators are small, their role is highly specialized. They operate the surveillance equipment on the planes which are capable of intercepting cell phone and other electronic transmissions as well as tracking individuals on the ground.
