A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM JOHN HART AND THE FSSF ASSOCIATION.
Importantly, in 2005, the Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS) asserted that “We need an integrated Canadian Forces that consists of maritime, air, land and special forces, woven together to make a more effective military.” Subsequently, he declared that he intended “on bringing JTF 2, along with all the enablers that it would need, to conduct operations successfully into one organization with one commander.” As result, on February 1, 2006, the CDS created CANSOFCOM as part of his larger transformation initiative. The Command included a headquarters, JTF 2, the Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit (CJIRU), the Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR), and 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron (SOAS). Since its inception CANSOFCOM has proven itself as an integral national capability. It has conducted operations domestically and around the world (e.g. Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti, Africa) particularly in combat theatres and countries at risk. Throughout the its existence, much like those who came before, its members have demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. Importantly, the Command has provided the Department of National Defence and the Government of Canada with a unique capability that is unmatched elsewhere in the Canadian Armed Forces or any other governmental department.
