| February 2005 | Exercise Southbound Trooper V | ||
| The Fusiliers deployed as a unit to Fort Pickett in Virginia, USA, for the fourth time, with the largest contingent to date (at one point the mission company was 203 members strong, with 5 Infantry Platoons, an Engineer Platoon, US Army Dive Company and other US attachments). Many challenges were overcome (like the plane carrying all of our food and follow-up kit being delayed two days...) but a tremendous amount of training was conducted with more air assets than ever before. In one lift, we were able to deploy 80 personnel on an air assault to conduct a Company Raid on MOUT City, and we had continuous Medivac support throughout the week. | |||

Over 35 children attended, with many adults in tow. The theme was the Wild West, and activities included cattle punching, egg gathering, pinata busting and water balloon tosses! Hot dogs and hamburgers kept the kids fuelled. | |

| April 2004 | Brigade Exercise | ||
| A Company was tasked with defending a power dam at Head of St Margaret's Bay from terrorists, and preventing the terrorists from fleeing the province by sea by conducting a water landing and ambushing the fleeing terrorists at Graves Island, one of Nova Scotia's Provincial Parks. A highlight of the exercise was the opportunity to travel by the MCDV (Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel) HMCS Shawinigan, crewed by Naval Reservists, and to conduct an assault boat landing onto Graves Island with the assistance of Combat Engineers from 45 Field Engineer Squadron of Cape Breton. | |||

| The Fusiliers deployed as a unit to Fort Pickett in Virginia, USA, for the third time, where A Company conducted Fighting in Built-Up Areas (FIBUA) training in the counter-terrorist defensive role this year. Live fire section attacks and 4-man room clearing at night with NVG's highlighted the live fire portions of the exercise, each platoon conducted a grueling 24-hour fighting patrol with insertion and extraction by helicopter, and a final Company-level attack by helicopter insertion (by 8 helicopters per lift) highlighted the week. | |||
