Operation Nanook 2012 was a military training exercise held in Canada's Arctic in August 2011.[1] It was the sixth annual exercise. Vessels from the United States Navy, United States Coast Guard and the Royal Danish Navy participated in the exercise.
One scenario simulated intercepting a "vessel of interest" in Baffin Bay.[1] Another scenario had Canadian Armed Forces simulate being dispatched to a northern community, Tsiigehtchic, to assist the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with a "security event".

As in previous years, this year’s Operation NANOOK will aim to provide a visible presence in the Arctic and demonstrate Canada’s ability to respond to situations and emergencies in the region. Operation NANOOK 12 is centred on two scenario-driven events in two separate locations in Canada's high North. The first involves the deployment of land and air forces to the Western Arctic to assist the RCMP in a security event in Tsiigehtchic, Northwest Territories. The second involves the deployment of CAF land, sea, air and special operations forces to the East to the Hudson Bay/Hudson Strait and Churchill, Manitoba, to intercept a vessel of interest.
