The Canadian Armed Forces: Defending Canada on Land, Sea, and Air

Service at a Crucial Time

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are the unified military forces of Canada, responsible for defending the country on land, sea, and air. In response to ongoing challenges, the service of the CAF is more important than ever.

A Renewed Vision for Defense

To meet the demands of the modern world, the CAF has adopted a renewed vision for defense. This vision requires providing members of the CAF with the resources and support they need to effectively carry out their missions.

Protecting and Defending Canada

The CAF's primary mission is to protect and defend Canada. This involves training and providing forces to safeguard the country's borders, sovereignty, and interests both at home and abroad.

A Valuable Resource

The CAF is made up of over 30 different occupations, each of which plays a vital role in the defense of Canada. The personnel who serve in these occupations are the CAF's greatest resource, and their dedication and professionalism ensure the security of the nation.
