5th Canadian Division Support Base Detachment Aldershot

5th Canadian Division Support Group Detachment Aldershot (also 5 CDSG Det Aldershot) is a training facility for 5th Canadian Division of the Canadian Army. It is located in Kings County, Nova Scotia. 5 Cdn Div Support Group Det Aldershot is located 0.5 nautical miles (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) northwest of Kentville on a well-drained sandy plateau along the north side of the Cornwallis River. Surrounded by the agricultural heartland of Nova Scotia in the Annapolis Valley, 5 Cdn Div Support Group Detachment Aldershot is situated primarily on marginal agricultural land not suitable for crops. Relatively few military personnel are stationed at the camp as it serves primarily for training regular force and Primary Reserve units of the Canadian Army's 5th Canadian Division. 5th Canadian Division Training Centre conducts year-round courses for Regular Force and Primary Reserve personnel, while expanding dramatically during the summer months to accommodate the numerous courses for Primary Reserve personnel and some Regular Force courses. Throughout the year, the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force conduct training at Aldershot, as well as elements of Canada's Canadian Special Operations Forces Command. This training varies from basic recruit training to advanced demolitions training. During the period of September–June 5 Cdn Div Support Group Det Aldershot also serves as the primary weekend training location for Primary Reserve and Royal Canadian Army Cadets exercises for units from the Halifax metro area, and other locations in the Maritime Provinces.
