The Canadian Forces (CF) is the name of an umbrella organization that covers three elements: the Navy, the Army and the Air Force. Each partner looks after issues that come up in, or on, one of our planet's main environments - the Sea, Land and Air - and some jobs in the Forces offer variety. For example, a Navy cook might be employed in an Army unit; or a clerk in the Air Force could sail on a Navy ship. We're all part of the same team.

Members of the Canadian Forces have distinguished themselves, and served their country, in two World Wars, Korea, the Persian Gulf, in peacekeeping roles with the United Nations and here at home with the floods on the Saguenay and Red Rivers and the Ice Storm. Our team has history…. a tradition of excellence. We're in demand around the world. It's exciting. It's important and we make a difference.
