One Army
Canada’s Army stands on guard for all Canadians. Our team
is professional,
high-tech, well trained, and able to perform a wide range of missions
at home and abroad.
The Army’s establishment of 19,500 Regular and 15,500 Reserve
soldiers are actively serving Canadians in today’s unstable
and unpredictable world.
Trained and ready for combat, the defence of Canada and North America
is our primary mandate. The Army has the skills and capability necessary
to respond to a wide variety of potential threats to our security.
We are ready to respond to conflict across the globe. Almost 4,000
soldiers a year deploy on missions to
places like Bosnia, Kosovo, East Timor, Ethiopia and Afghanistan.
Our task: to restore peace and represent Canada internationally.
The Army is also prepared to assist provincial and territorial
authorities with natural disasters in your community, including
earthquakes, floods, storms, and forest fires.
