A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM JOHN HART AND THE FSSF ASSOCIATION.
This tradition created a legacy that lives on to this day in the nation’s Special Operations Forces (SOF). However, modern SOF were actually created in the Second World War. Canadian participation in the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), which was responsible for sabotage and subversion in Occupied Europe, was the earliest example. Canada also created the Viking Force, its own version of the famous British Commandos, as well as the Royal Canadian Navy Beach Commando “W.” In addition, the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, which boasted a 30 percent selection rate, as well as the infamous Canadian component of the First Special Service Force, also known as the “Black Devils,” were stood up. Notably, all contributed to
a proud national record in the conduct of special operations.
In due course, and in response to the threat, Britain created Goreham’s Rangers and Rogers Rangers who, together with the French-Canadian warriors, carved out the Ranger Tradition, which embodied the concept of individuals who were seen as mavericks to the conventional military institution and mentality - men who were adaptable, robust and unconventional in their thinking and war fighting; men who could persevere the greatest hardships and despite an inhospitable environment and merciless enemy, achieve mission success.
