As part of its modernization efforts, the Canadian Army has adopted a new mission-based structure to strengthen Canada's defence, improve readiness, and better support operations at home and abroad.
Formally recognized last month, this restructuring gives each formation a clear mission and helps the Army remain ready, adaptable, and equipped for the security challenges of today and tomorrow.
The new structure includes four primary formations:
- 1st Canadian Division in Edmonton,
- 2nd Canadian Division in Montréal,
- Canadian Army Support Division in Kingston, and
- Canadian Army Doctrine and Training Centre in Kingston.
This approach allows formations to concentrate their expertise and resources on clearly defined responsibilities. It is part of several ongoing modernization initiatives that contribute to the creation of a modern Army that is ready and resilient, equipped and able to operate seamlessly across diverse environments.
