Canadian Expeditionary Force Command
- Canadian Expeditionary Force Command
Canadian Expeditionary Force Command is a new operational element of the Canadian Forces for operations outside of Canada.
Under the new CF structure, Canadian Expeditionary Forces Command (CEFCOM) is the unified command that is responsible for all Canadian Forces (CF) international operations, with the exception of operations conducted solely by Canadian Special Operations Forces Command elements.
Operations
Similar to the integrated chain of command put in place under Canada Command (Canada COM), the CF’s operational command headquarters responsible for domestic operations, CEFCOM will bring together under one operational command the maritime, land and air force assets to conduct humanitarian, peace support or combat operations wherever they are required internationally.
Headquartered in Ottawa, CEFCOM will also be responsible for setting the standards for integrated training and final certification of assigned forces – ensuring that all units and personnel selected to conduct overseas duties are fully trained and ready to do so.
