Original Toronto Star caption: Smokescreen: Regular forces hold military exercises at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa to test the effectiveness of Canada's ground forces. The Business Countil on National issues criticizes the nation's low level of military pre-paredness; citing the case of the 4th Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group stationed in West Germany; which is manned to only 58 per cent of its wartime establishment required by NATO.
