National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces

The National Defence of Canada is the government's strategy to protect the country, its citizens, and its interests by maintaining a well-trained, equipped military called the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). The CAF includes the Army, Navy, and Air Force, responsible for defending Canada's borders, supporting international peacekeeping, and assisting during emergencies. They operate under federal authority and collaborate with allies worldwide. Essentially, they serve as Canada's professional military force, ensuring national security through readiness, strategic operations, and humanitarian efforts.
