Canadian Forces are the unified armed forces of the Canada, as constituted by the National Defence Act.
Canadian Forces are the armed forces of her Majesty raised by Canada and consist of one Service called the Canadian Armed
Forces.
This singular institution consists of three main branches 1) the Canadian Forces Maritime Command (MARCOM) 2) the
Canadian Forces Land Force Command (LFC) 3) the Canadian Forces Air Command (AIRCOM), which are together overseen by the
Armed Forces Council. The pinnacle of the command structure is the Commander in Chief, who is the reigning Canadian monarch,
Queen Elizabeth II, represented by the Governor General.
The incarnation of the Canadian Forces dates from 1 February 1968, when the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and
Royal Canadian Air Force were merged into a unified structure.
Structure that remained in place until the early 20th century. Thereafter a distinctly Canadian army and navy was
established followed by an air force, the constitutional arrangements at the time, remained effectively under the control
of the British government until Canada gained legislative independence from the United Kingdom in 1931, partly due to the performance and sacrifice of the
Canadian Corps in the First World War.
Canadian forces were then involved in the Second World War
and Korean War and from the 1950s on, adopted more the role of a peacekeeping force within United Nations sanctioned conflicts.
Canadian Forces Maritime Command (MARCOM) also called the Canadian Navy, is the naval branch of the Canadian Forces and is a
descendant of the Royal Canadian Navy. The MARCOM includes 33 warships and submarines deployed in two fleets, the Maritime
Forces Pacific at the Esquimalt Royal Navy Dockyard on the west coast and the Maritime Forces Atlantic at Her Majesty's
Canadian Dockyard on the east coast. Fleet is augmented by the various aircraft and supply vessels.
Canadian Forces Maritime Command participates in NATO exercises and ships are deployed all over the world in support of the
Canadian military as well as in conjunction with the multinational deployments, including the current Operation APOLLO.
Canadian Land Force Command also known as the Canadian Army, is the land based branch of the Canadian Forces and is a descendant
of the Canadian Army. The LFC is administered through four geographically determined formations, the Land Force Atlantic Area,
headquartered at CFB Halifax in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the Land Force Quebec Area headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. The Land Force
Central Area, located at Denison Armoury in Toronto, Ontario; and the Land Force Western Area, headquartered in Edmonton,
Alberta.
Canadian Forces Air Command is the aerially operating branch of the Canadian Forces. Led by the Chief of the Air Staff,
the AIRCOM is deployed at 13 bases across the Canada, under the overall direction of 1 Canadian Air Division and constitutes
the Canadian NORAD Region. Major air bases are located in the British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland and Labrador, while the administrative and command-control facilities are located in Winnipeg and North Bay.
