What are Canadian Military Special Forces Called?

Question

Question for Canadians, I live in Canada now and I was wondering what the official names of your military special forces are called? For example, in the U.S. there's the Navy Seals, Green Berets, etc. I saw in the movie, "The Devil's Brigade" that you have special forces. But I'm sorry to say I don't know what their names are in Canada. I'd also like to know where they are based. Thanks.

Answer 1

Joint Task Force 2

JTF 2 was created on April 1, 1993, when the Canadian Forces (CF) accepted responsibility for federal counter-terrorism operations from the RCMP. Since its inception, the unit has continuously evolved to meet modern-day threats. In order to maintain an edge in its operational environment, JTF 2 is continuously developing new capabilities, technologies, and tactics.

The year 2001 marked an important milestone in the history of JTF 2. The unit was committed to the international Special Operations Forces coalition in Afghanistan. This deployment was the first time JTF 2 was used in a major combat role outside Canada. The unit continues to play a critical role in coalition Special Operations Forces and has earned the respect of Canada’s allies for its professionalism.

Canadian Special Operations Regiment

The Canadian Special Operations Regiment is a highly trained high mobility force that is capable of independent operations as well as supporting both special and conventional operations forces. The battalion sized unit is made up of specialized companies with a host of skills that enable them to operate in a variety of terrains and environments. Drawn from all parts of the CF, they provide the Commander CANSOFCOM with the ability to insert forces in any part of the world by conventional and non-conventional means. Highly flexible and adaptable, they are able to operate in small groups for extended periods of time without requiring significant logistical support.
