Force Package for the Canadian Arctic

Abstract

The battalion size option is a good interim solution to current problems but will not be sufficient for the growing threats and the increasing role of the north in Canada's future. Therefore, a brigade size capability for the Army joint with the Navy, the Air Force as well as other agencies like the Coast Guard and the RCMP, the provincial level of government, and private corporations in case of emergency under the 1st Canadian Division Joint headquarters is the optimal force package. It is an option that Canada can afford in a near future but will require some time to build up and train in the fashion that will make it relevant as a credible deterrent and a proper reaction force for major events in the north.
