The Army we need is taking shape. At this year's Senior Army Leadership Symposium, we focused on turning our momentum into lasting capability. Through investment in our people, modernization, and readiness, we're building a stronger Army for Canada.
The backbone of the Canadian Army.
As part of the implementation order of the Canadian Army's modernization, the Support Division was stood-up to bring our support elements under one command to support our mission.
