A big established airfield like YWG - and others - IMO don't need grade A troops to secure them.
For an expeditionary force that is where you need the RCAF Regiment or whatever you wanna call it.
I personally don’t think it’s a good idea to bring them back. The Shah was crowned by the US and Britain and Imperial Oil. And the Shah’s secret police aren’t thought of fondly,
In 1979 Canada furnished the USA with six passports to get US embassy staff out of Iran after the Shah was tossed.
IIRC the Ambassador was Ken Taylor and he is a hero.

Neither did I. I was busy taking care of people who can't take care of themselves and really have no regard for little things like the law.
Wellllll, there is always next year.
