Structure
Army Regular Land Forces
Land Force Command has a regional military structure based upon 4 geographical areas. These areas (Western, Central, Quebec and Atlantic) provide a single chain of command for regular and reserve forces in their regions. Land Force Headquarters (LFHQ) is collocated with NDHQ in Ottawa. The Land Force Doctrine and Training System forms an integral part of LFHQ, but is located in Kingston, Ontario. This HQ controls all of individual and collective training activities for the Land Force.
The Land Force is organized into 3 Mechanized Brigade Groups stationed in Western Canada, Ontario and Quebec, respectively. Each group has 3 infantry battalions (2 mechanized, 1 light), 1 armoured regiment, 1 artillery regiment, 1 combat engineer regiment, 1 reconnaissance squadron, plus appropriate combat support and combat service support. Outside this structure remain 1 engineer support regiment, 1 air defence regiment, and 1 electronic warfare squadron.
Army Reserve
The Army Reserves are growing and are already incorporating unique capabilities such as Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC) and Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) into their structure.
The Reserve component of the Land Force is organized in ten Brigade Groups that in total are comprised of 17 reconnaissance units, 17 artillery units, 12 engineer units, 51 infantry battalions, 19 logistic units, 4 military police units, and 4 intelligence units.
Canadian Rangers
The Canadian Rangers (164 patrols) who serve in Canada’s Far North, are also members of the Army Reserve.
