�This decision was not taken lightly and it was reached after consultations with other participating countries,� said Major-General Yvan Blondin, Commander of 1 Canadian Air Division and the Canadian NORAD Region. �Our allies agreed it would be difficult to support the exercise to the necessary level, while at the same time conducting operations abroad.�

You mean we can't run a training exercise at home and a mere seven jet deployment at the same time?

Something isn't right here.

Your own quote says the decision was made in consultation with other participating nations. I doubt it was simply because of our deployment.

Well Lybia isn't a huge jump in op tempo for either the Brits or the French.

Not my bag, but I am curious to see if this is because of our deployment, our allies, or a combination of both.
