About BATUS:
Lacking adequate training areas for armoured manoeuvre warfare in Europe the
British had long maintained a training establishment in Canada, called BATUS
(British Army Training Unit Suffield). This area allowed British armoured units
in Germany to fly over to Canada in rotation during the summer and test their
skills against the resident OPFOR unit. The realistic training at BATUS was
considered the best test of the skills of individual battle groups.
