Every winter, the Canadian Armed Forces runs Operation Nanook-Nunalivut, a military training exercise focused on Arctic defence.

This year's operation was the largest to date. Up to 1,300 members were deployed across Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, alongside allies from the United States, Belgium, France and Denmark.

The exercise has been running for nearly 20 years. But with rising geopolitical tensions, it is taking on new meaning.

APTN video journalist Charlotte Morrit-Jacobs travelled to the training camp in Edzo, about 100 kilometres west of Yellowknife, for a two-part report from the ground.

On this edition of APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens speaks with Morrit-Jacobs about what she saw at Operation Nanook and how the Canadian Armed Forces are preparing for the North.
