From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Army is not an independent service; rather it is the land component of Canada's integrated defence forces known as the Canadian Forces; as such its proper name is Land Force Command (LFC).
LFC is commanded from Land Force Command Headquarters at NDHQ in Ottawa and is subdivided into four regional command areas:
Each area is responsible for the regular army and militia forces located within its geographical purview - all except the Atlantic Area has a regular army mechanized brigade group under its command, together with between two and three militia brigades.
Each mechanized brigade group contains 3 infantry battalions, an armoured regiment, an artillery regiment, and a combat engineer regiment. Each brigade group also contains a service support battalion, signals squadron and military police platoon.

Structure of the Canadian Land Forces
Regular Force formations are in bold face. Reserve Force units are in light face.
Despite some misconceptions, there is no such formation as 'Land Force Northern Area'; the Canadian Rangers and other formations operating in the north do not report to CFLC.
