Mission : Le génie militaire est la pierre angulaire parmi les métiers de combat. Le génie militaire assure la mobilité des forces alliées et fait de la contre-mobilité pour l'ennemi. Il permet aux unités sur le champs de bataille de vivre, de se déplacer et assure un maximum d'efficacité au combat pour l'infanterie, les blindés et l'artillerie. Les tâches principales sont la construction, la manipulation d'explosifs et de mines, construction et brèches d'obstacles, l'utilisation d'outillage manuel électrique, hydraulique et à gaz, et l'utilisation de véhicules spécialisés.

Historique
C’est dans le traité de 1855 que l’on fait référence à la formation d’une compagnie de génie de milice volontaire qui comprend, entre autres, trois officiers et soixante militaires du rang. L’histoire du génie a été largement influencée par l’apport des ingénieurs des armées française et britannique. Les origines du sapeur-soldat canadien remontent à nos réservistes qui étaient des hommes costauds âgés de 16 à 60 ans. De nombreux sites de patrimoine existent encore et demeurent une référence tangible de leurs réalisations et le symbole absolu de leur savoir-faire, notamment : l’habitation de Champlain à Québec, la forteresse de Louisbourg en Nouvelle-Écosse, la muraille de Québec, la Citadelle et bien d’autres.

Le 10e Escadron du génie existe depuis le 2 février 1916. Il est également mis au service de la communauté de façon occasionnelle et ce, en collaboration avec les autorités civiles. Par exemple, l’Escadron a été présent pendant la crise du verglas en 1998 et, récemment, il a collaboré à la construction d’un pont dans la ville de La Pocatière pour désservir une piste cyclable.

Les plus grandes coutumes et traditions de l’Escadron ont toujours visé le travail de groupe, la cohésion et l’esprit d’équipe. Au cours des années, les nombreux accomplissements du 10e Escadron du génie ont démontré que l’unité est toujours demeurée à son plus haut niveau.

Historique

Au début de la seconde guerre mondiale, le colonel C.E. Bent qui est, à l'époque, ingénieur municipal de Noranda, exerce des pressions pour former une unité locale de l'armée mais ne réussit pas à obtenir l'autorisation immédiate du quartier général de l'armée à Ottawa. Afin d'avoir une infrastructure déjà en place tout en espérant obtenir l'approbation formelle d'Ottawa, il forme le 13 juin 1939 un premier corps de constables spéciaux. Cette force qui servirait à aider les forces policières à défendre la ville contre d'éventuels vols d'or, d'actes de sabotage ou de révoltes. Cette organisation se fera connaître sous le nom de « Northwest Quebec Home Defense Unit » mais n'avait aucun pouvoir militaire, ni d'armes et personne n'était rémunéré. En très peu de temps, cette unité compte plus de 800 membres avec des éléments dans un rayon de 100 km.

Ottawa donne finalement son accord a ce que l'unité soit partie intégrante de l'armée canadienne, au 1er janvier 1940 l'unité est effectif que sur papier sous le nom de « 3rd Pioneer Batallion ». Ce n'est que l'été suivant que l'unité est proprement créée, soit le 1 août 1940. Le quartier général se situe à Noranda et l'unité possède trois compagnies. La première est à Noranda (avec des sections à Kirkland Lake, Virginia Town et Larder Lake), la deuxième est à Arnfield (avec des sections à Normétal et Duparquet), et la dernière est à Bourlamaque (avec une section à Malartic). En plus d'avoir été son fondateur , le Colonel C.E . Bent devient officiellement le lendemain 2 août 1940, le premier commandant du 3rd Pioneer Batallion.

Près d'un an plus tard, Ottawa change le nom de l'unité pour « 3rd (Reserve) Batallion R.C.E. » avec comme date effective le 15 mai 1941. C'est le 30 avril de la même année que le 3rd Res Bn RCE se fait connaître en effectuant sa toute première sortie publique avec une démonstration; il s'agit d'un exercice militaire et de combat à la baïonnette. Par la suite, durant la guerre, le 3rd (res) Bn RCE, voit ses membres partir pour le 4th Bn RCE, dans la 27th Field Company ou encore dans la Tunnel Company RCE et autres. Plusieurs de ses membres s'illustrèrent à Gibraltar, et plusieurs donnèrent leur vie en combattant pour leur patrie.

En 1943, le colonel C.E. Bent prend sa retraite, et dans la même année, le 29 juillet, 26 officiers et 400 soldats partent en train pour Niagara pour de l'entraînement militaire ; ceci est le premier entraînement du 3rd (res) Bn RCE à l'extérieur de la région. Lors d'une cérémonie à l'église Notre-Dame de la Protection le 9 novembre 1944, le Bataillon rend hommages aux soldats morts tombés au champ d'honneur. Ce geste est répété depuis, à chaque année, en face du palais de justice lors du jour du souvenir.

Entre les années 1949 et 1994, le 3rd (Res) Bn RCE change de nom à trois reprises. Tout d'abord, il porte le nom de 18th Field Company RCE en 1946. À cette époque, l'effectif de l'unité compte 1 officier seulement. En 1947 il devient le 9th Field Squadron RCE où l'effectif compte seulement 2 officiers. En 1948, l'unité qui est située avec le Canadian Corps de Noranda trouve que ses locaux ne sont pas adéquats. Le major Slater apporte la proposition à Montréal pour déménager; l'unité met le recrutement de l'avant et à la fin de 1948, l'unité compte 15 membres. En 1949, le 9th Field Sqn RCE change de nom pour le 9th Independant Field Sqn RCE, et son effectif est rendu à 25 membres. En 1950, l'unité occupe déjà ses nouveaux quartiers qui se situent au 113, 7ième rue à Noranda et compte déjà 56 membres dont 7 officiers.

De 1953 à 1954, l'unité passe de 40 membres à 90. Durant cette même année, l'unité est renommée le 9th Field Squadron RCE (Milicia). Puis en 1955, les 130 membres du 9th Field Sqn (M) contribuent à l'installation du cénotaphe pour commémorer la mort des soldats au champ d'honneur. En 1956, les 135 membres inscrits participent à un exercice de 5 jours avec l'aide du 5ième Régiment du génie de combat de l'armée régulière sur la base de Valcartier près de Québec. L'année suivante, plus précisément le 22 février 1957, la fanfare de l'escadron enregistre sa première musique qui est diffusée sur les ondes de CKRN. Le 10 décembre 1959, le 9th Field Sqn RCE (M) fait l'acquisition d'un nouveaux manège militaire et emménage l'année suivante. Ce nouveau manège est alors situé au 120, 9ième rue à Noranda et est en fait une ancienne église. À ce moment le commandant est le major E. Bracci et le 9th Field Sqn RCE (M) compte 71 membres.

Ensuite peu de faits historiques sont rapportés. En 1976, l'unité devient francophone et porte le nom du 9ième Escadron de génie de campagne (Milice) et ne compte plus que 40 membres. En 1982 a lieu la première remise du trophée Gaudreault qui est l'honneur remis au meilleur milicien de l'année au sein de l'unité. Le premier honneur est remis au Caporal Murielle Petit Paradis. Le 9ième EG de Camp n'est pas seulement un institut militaire, il aide aussi les gens de Rouyn-Noranda et des environs. En 1984, le 9ième est demandé pour déboiser une partie du mont Kanasuta afin d'y faire une piste de ski alpin. Après la finition de la piste, le propriétaire du mont Kanasuta donne le libre choix du nom que le 9ième voudrait lui attribuer. À l'unanimité, le major Émile Rocheleau, commandant de l'escadron à ce moment là, demande de la baptiser « Chimo » qui est le cri de ralliement des ingénieurs militaire canadiens. Depuis ce jour, la piste de ski porte ce nom.

En mai 1989, le 9ième Escadron du Génie fait l'acquisition de l'ancien bureau de poste de Rouyn-Noranda. En 1990, 10 sapeurs du 9 e EG et 12 sapeurs du 5ième RGC construisent une passerelle dans le parc d'Aiguebelle. Le 5 juillet, la passerelle est terminée et est nommée « La passerelle piétonnière UBIQUE » qui se lit « Ubiquoué », mot latin reprenant la devise du génie militaire canadien : « partout à la fois ». La date de fondation de l'unité étant alors reconnue au sein de l'armée comme étant le 15 mai 1941, le 9 e EG fête son 50ième anniversaire le 1er juin 1991, qui fut plus précisément son 51ième!

En 1993, l'unité construit deux ponts permanents qui servent encore aujourd'hui. En 1998, l'unité est renommée 9ième Escadron du Génie. En 1999, le 9 e EG construit une tour pour traverser une rivière pour le Raid des conquérants et a construit aussi une passerelle à Colombourg pour voir les Eskers. En 2001, sous le commandement du major JLM Généreux, le 9ième Escadron du Génie, compte plus de 60 membres et fête son 60ième anniversaire le 19 mai, qui est en fait le 61ième!

En 2003, pour souligner le centenaire du Génie militaire canadien, le 9 e EG a construit des ponts pour le Sentier transcanadien et la Route verte.

En 2006, pour consolider les resources du Génie du 34e Groupe brigade du Canada, le 9e Escadron de génie est mis sous le commandement du 34e Régiment du génie de combar (34 RGC) (anciennement désigné le 3 Field Engineer Regiment)

== History of 34 CER==

===The Montreal Engineer Company ===
On December 21st, 1862, the Montreal Engineer Company was raised and the following year a second one was raised. The two companies were later amalgamated into a single unit. This unit supported the militia throughout the 1870s and 1880s. The Montreal Engineer Company is disbanded on 16 December 1892, five days short of its 31st birthday.

===4 Field Company Canadian Engineers ===
On February 1st, 1903, a new field company in Montreal was raised. Recruiting for the company was conducted in the downtown area and in Westmount. In August 1904 the unit was officially named No 4 Field Company Canadian Engineers.
At the outbreak of World War One, 4th Field Company Canadian Engineers went overseas as part of the 2nd Canadian Division. The unit arrived in France after training in England in September 1915 where it was immediately sent to the front. 4th Field Company experienced the misery of trench warfare first hand as it slogged through the winter months.

The company saw its first major action at the St. Eloi craters in April 1916. The sappers went forward to help the infantry defend a series of craters blown under the German lines, but the terrain soon turned into a mud bath as rain poured down for days. The Germans were quick to counter-attack, and during this battle, 4th Field Company distinguished itself time and again.

The company supported operations during the Somme offensive and later in the fall at Courcelette. Throughout the battles, the sappers enabled the Canadian Corps to live, move and fight in the field, in spite of terrible enemy artillery and machine-gun fire. During the first months of 1917, the company assisted in numerous raids against the German lines, and later took part in the assault of Vimy Ridge. In 1918, the company fought at Arras, Amiens, the Drocourtqueant Line and the Canal du Nord.

At the Canal de l'Escaut, the newly formed 4th Battalion Canadian Engineers won the first and the only Victoria Cross in the engineer corps. While moving forward to secure the bridges across the Canal, Captain C.N. Mitchell MC, raced onto a bridge under the most severe enemy machine-gun fire, and ignoring a group of Germans trying to counter-attack, and another group trying to destroy the bridge, he ripped out the wiring and the charges before they could be detonated.

The 4th Field Company returned to Montreal after the war to continue its service as a militia unit. At the outbreak of World War Two, it was once more off to Europe, this time as part of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division. The company served in Italy for most of the war, returning to Northwest Europe near the end.

===16 Field Coy Royal Canadian Engineers ===

Following the invasion of France and the Battle of Britain, 16 Field Coy was formed on 2nd July 1940 in Montreal

The Canadian engineers landing at D-Day consisted of 5th, 6th, 16th and 18th Field Coys, Royal Canadian Engineers and the 3rd Field Park Coy. The 16th Field Coy was assigned along with 6th Field Coy to support 7th and 8th Canadian Infantry Brigades landing at "Mike" and "Nan" beaches.

The Royal Canadian Engineers uses the motto "First in... Last out", and this is said with absolute truth and distinct pride. Before the first infantry and tanks could make their way onto the beaches in Normandy, the Royal Canadian Engineers was put ashore to clear the way. Landing at H-Hour, 16th Field Coy was responsible for clearing mines and obstacles while in water up to their waists and under direct fire from German positions inland. As the infantry overran the enemy positions, 16th Field Coy moved inland to support their operations. Enemy snipers were the worst problem. While traveling between clearance parties in the mid-afternoon,

===3 Field Engineer Regiment ===
On April 30th, 1945, the war in Europe was over. Both 4th Field Company and 16th Field Company had ended the war in northwest Europe, and were soon returned to Canada where the two companies were demobilized. In deciding the post-war makeup of Canada's army, the Minister of National Defense wanted to ensure that all units which had active counterparts in the war had a continuing role at home. As such, Headquarters 3rd Divisional Engineers was formed in Montreal from the pre-war Headquarters 4th District Engineers.

In 1947, the 4th and 16th Field Companies was brought under the command of the 3rd Division Royal Canadian Engineers HQ, which became the origin of the present day regiment. The following year, the unit officially acquired the status of regiment, becoming the 3rd Field Engineer Regiment

===The Korean War ===
During the Korean War, the regiment had many of its members join the Canadian Army Special Force (CASF), which formed the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade. Among those was the Captain N.E. Cooke who served with distinction for two years, being once mentioned-in-dispatches (MiD). He will later take command of the regiment in 1966. During the 1950s, Canada embarked on a plan of civil defense, using the militia as the base of the plan. The regiment participated in this plan, sometimes with mixed feelings, but nevertheless continued its support of the city of Westmount and Montreal. In 1954,

===Crisis in Quebec===
On the night of 16-17 May 1963, fifteen bombs were placed in mailboxes throughout Westmount, as part of the increasing FLQ crisis in Montreal. For his courage, [[Rocky Leja|SSM Walter Leja]] was awarded the George Medal by Queen Elizabeth II.

===In the Present Day ===
On September 27th, 1981, the City of Westmount presented 3rd Field Engineer Regiment with the privileges of it's Freedom of the City.
In June 2004 the City of Montreal presented 3rd Field Engineer Regiment with the privileges of it's Freedom of the City
On December 20th 2006, 34 Brigade consolidated all its engineer resources under a single unit designated 34 CER and comprising of 4 FES, 16 FES (Westmount) and 9 EG (Rouyn)

The sappers went forward to help the infantry defend a series of craters blown under the German lines, but the terrain soon turned into a mud bath as rain poured down for days. The Germans were quick to counter-attack, and during this battle, 4th Field Company distinguished itself time and again.

The company supported operations during the Somme offensive and later in the fall at Courcelette. Throughout the battles, the sappers enabled the Canadian Corps to live, move and fight in the field, in spite of terrible enemy artillery and machine-gun fire. During the first months of 1917, the company assisted in numerous raids against the German lines, and later took part in the assault of Vimy Ridge. In 1918, the company fought at Arras, Amiens, the Drocourtqueant Line and the Canal du Nord.

At the Canal de l'Escaut, the newly formed 4th Battalion Canadian Engineers won the first and the only Victoria Cross in the engineer corps. While moving forward to secure the bridges across the Canal, Captain C.N. Mitchell MC, raced onto a bridge under the most severe enemy machine-gun fire, and ignoring a group of Germans trying to counter-attack, and another group trying to destroy the bridge, he ripped out the wiring and the charges before they could be detonated.

The 4th Field Company returned to Montreal after the war to continue its service as a militia unit. At the outbreak of World War Two, it was once more off to Europe, this time as part of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division. The company served in Italy for most of the war, returning to Northwest Europe near the end.

===16 Field Coy Royal Canadian Engineers ===

Following the invasion of France and the Battle of Britain, 16 Field Coy was formed on 2nd July 1940 in Montreal

The Canadian engineers landing at D-Day consisted of 5th, 6th, 16th and 18th Field Coys, Royal Canadian Engineers and the 3rd Field Park Coy. The 16th Field Coy was assigned along with 6th Field Coy to support 7th and 8th Canadian Infantry Brigades landing at "Mike" and "Nan" beaches.

The Royal Canadian Engineers uses the motto "First in... Last out", and this is said with absolute truth and distinct pride. Before the first infantry and tanks could make their way onto the beaches in Normandy, the Royal Canadian Engineers was put ashore to clear the way. Landing at H-Hour, 16th Field Coy was responsible for clearing mines and obstacles while in water up to their waists and under direct fire from German positions inland. As the infantry overran the enemy positions, 16th Field Coy moved inland to support their operations. Enemy snipers were the worst problem. While traveling between clearance parties in the mid-afternoon,

===3 Field Engineer Regiment ===
On April 30th, 1945, the war in Europe was over. Both 4th Field Company and 16th Field Company had ended the war in northwest Europe, and were soon returned to Canada where the two companies were demobilized. In deciding the post-war makeup of Canada's army, the Minister of National Defense wanted to ensure that all units which had active counterparts in the war had a continuing role at home. As such, Headquarters 3rd Divisional Engineers was formed in Montreal from the pre-war Headquarters 4th District Engineers.

In 1947, the 4th and 16th Field Companies was brought under the command of the 3rd Division Royal Canadian Engineers HQ, which became the origin of the present day regiment. The following year, the unit officially acquired the status of regiment, becoming the 3rd Field Engineer Regiment

===The Korean War ===
During the Korean War, the regiment had many of its members join the Canadian Army Special Force (CASF), which formed the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade. Among those was the Captain N.E. Cooke who served with distinction for two years, being once mentioned-in-dispatches (MiD). He will later take command of the regiment in 1966. During the 1950s, Canada embarked on a plan of civil defense, using the militia as the base of the plan. The regiment participated in this plan, sometimes with mixed feelings, but nevertheless continued its support of the city of Westmount and Montreal. In 1954,

===Crisis in Quebec===
On the night of 16-17 May 1963, fifteen bombs were placed in mailboxes throughout Westmount, as part of the increasing FLQ crisis in Montreal. For his courage, [[Rocky Leja|SSM Walter Leja]] was awarded the George Medal by Queen Elizabeth II.

On September 27th, 1981, the City of Westmount presented 3rd Field Engineer Regiment with the privileges of it's Freedom of the City.
In June 2004 the City of Montreal presented 3rd Field Engineer Regiment with the privileges of it's Freedom of the City
On December 20th 2006, 34 Brigade consolidated all its engineer resources under a single unit designated 34 CER and comprising of 4 FES, 16 FES (Westmount) and 9 EG (Rouyn)

== History of 34 CER==

===The Montreal Engineer Company ===
On December 21st, 1862, the Montreal Engineer Company was raised and the following year a second one was raised. The two companies were later amalgamated into a single unit. This unit supported the militia throughout the 1870s and 1880s. The Montreal Engineer Company is disbanded on 16 December 1892, five days short of its 31st birthday.

===4 Field Company Canadian Engineers ===
On February 1st, 1903, a new field company in Montreal was raised. Recruiting for the company was conducted in the downtown area and in Westmount. In August 1904 the unit was officially named No 4 Field Company Canadian Engineers.
At the outbreak of World War One, 4th Field Company Canadian Engineers went overseas as part of the 2nd Canadian Division. The unit arrived in France after training in England in September 1915 where it was immediately sent to the front. 4th Field Company experienced the misery of trench warfare first hand as it slogged through the winter months.

The Royal Canadian Dragoons is a Regular Force armoured reconnaissance regiment and is the senior regiment of the [[Regiments of the Armoured Corps|Royal Canadian Armoured Corps]]. The current role of The Royal Canadian Dragoons is to provide Armour Reconnaissance support to 2 CMBG operations.

=== Definition - (Oxford English Dictionary) ===

==== DRAGOON ====

# A kind of carbine or musket. So called from its "breathing fire" like the fabulous dragon...
# A species of cavalry soldier. The name was originally applied to mounted infantry armed with firearms. This gradually developed into horse-soldiers and the term is now merely a name certain regiments of cavalry which historically represented the ancient dragoons and retain some distinctive features of dress, etc. In France the edict of Louis XIV, 25 July 1665, ranked dragoons among infantry, and this was their status until 1784. In Montecuculi's time, 1688, they still ordinarily fought on foot, though sometimes firing from horseback; when Simes wrote, 1768, they mostly fought on horseback, though still occasionally on foot. The French ''reglement'' of 1 January 1791, confirmed by ''decret'' of 21 February 1793, classed them among horse-soldiers...
# As the type of rough and fierce fellow.

With their superior speed and carbine firepower they were the shock troops of their day. Gradually their role was assimilated to that of the Cavalry proper and consequently followed the rules of precedence in that arm of service. The precedence continues in the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, The Royal Canadian Dragoons having the honour of precedence in the Corps.

Infantry Sash

2006-07-05T13:02:54Z

Lilangels:

Officers, Warrant Officers, and Senior Non-Commissioned Officers in Canadian infantry regiments wear coloured sashes as an indication of their status while on parade in DEU or full dress. It is not a form of "battle honour" and is not a "dishonour". Like many traditions in the Canadian Army, the infantry sash has been passed on from the British Army and is a long established distinction of dress.

*Officers - wear a crimson sash, either over the shoulder, or in [[The Royal Canadian Regiment]] and [[Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry]] around the waist.
*Chief Warrant Officer - if worn, a crimson officers' sash
*Master Warrant Officer - a crimson sash made of silk over the right shoulder
*Warrant Officer - a scarlet sash of worsted wool over the right shoulder
*Sergeant - a scarlet sash of coarse wool over the right shoulder

==Origin==
According to ''The Maple Leaf'' the sash originated in the 1800s, to assist officers and senior NCOs in the removal of injured from the battlefield. As with many once-functional items of military dress, the sash is now purely ceremonial and worn in a specific manner depending on regimental tradition.

==Queen's Scarf==
The infantry sash is not to be confused with the Queen's Scarf, a very specific award made by Queen Victoria during the Boer War, including one award to a Canadian. The scarves, eight in number and made of yellow wool, were hand made by Queen Victoria and as a distinction are more rare than the Victoria Cross.

Platoons, Brigades, Divisions Oh My!

Lilangels: /* lll - Regiment */

Here is a general descriptor of how the army is structured. Don't get too caught in the numbers though. Sections will vary in size. Platoons may be short sections (or may have extra sections). Regular Force infantry battalions only have three rifle companies these days (as opposed to the traditional four) and many reserve regiments only have one company.

Note that generally the "rule of three" gives you a rough estimate of what an element can be broken down in to (ie: 3 sections to a platoon, 3 platoons to a company, 3 companies to a battalion, etc, etc). However, that rule of three typically breaks down when you try to apply it to support elements or combined arms groups.

The dot/line/x system is the NATO standard designation used in conjuction with [[NATO Map Symbols|map symbols]].

== . - Detachment, Crew or fireteam ==
Two to four soldiers. This could be a vehicle crew, a sniper team, an engineer firing party, or something else which is tiny.

== .. - Section ==
A section normally numbers about 8-10 men and is commanded by a Sgt with a MCpl as second in command.

== ... - Platoon or Troop ==
A platoon is a basic building block of sub-unit organizations. They are headed by a junior officer (2Lt to Capt) and number about 30 to 45 members. They consist of 3 or 4 sections (depending on the Arm) plus additional detachments as necessary (ie an infantry platoon Weapons Det). A Tank Troop would consist of 4 battle tanks.

== l - Company or Squadron ==
A company (or Squadron) is considered a sub-unit and is the building block of "unit" sized organizations. They are commanded by Majors (referred to as Officer Commanding, or OC) and consist of a headquarters and 2 to 4 platoons (or troops). An Artillery sub-unit is refered to as a Battery, and the Armoured, Engineers and Signals refer to their sub-units as squadrons.

== ll - Batallion ==
The Battalion is the standard sized "[[unit]]" of the Army. The Artillery, Armoured, Engineers, and Signals refer to thier units as Regiments. Tactical Aviation refers to its units as squadrons. Units are commanded by a commanding officer (typically a LCol). In some rare cases, smaller organizations may be given the designation of "unit" (but they would still use the map designator of their smaller size).

As for the Infantry Battalion structure, it's usually 3 to 4 rifle companies in addition to combat support company which used to comprise of 1 x mortar platoon, 1x Recce Platoon, 1 x Anti-Armour Platoon, 1 x Pioneer Platoon (things like mortars and pioneers have been phased out of the current structure). There's also a HQ company which has a Battalion CP, Int Detachment, MP Detachment and a Sigs Platoon. There's a Logistical Company comprising of Battalion stores, payroll, maintenance, cooks and the like.

== lll - Regiment ==
Common for Soviet and WWII German forces in which a Regiment was a fighting [[formation]]. An Infantry Regiment typically consists of three to four battalions under the command of a Col.

(This should not be confused with the term "[[The Regiment|regiment]]" as it is used in commonwealth armies. Those Canadian regiments which are larger than one unit are still not formations. PPCLI, RCR, R22R, RNBR, etc will never deploy under a regimental headquarters. They will always be battalions as part of a Bde. For this reason you won't see Canadian units marked as Regiments on a map. The same is true of most of our allies.)

== x - Brigade ==
A Brigade typically consists of three to four battalions under the command of a BGen. Brigades lack sufficient resources to conduct independent operations. They must operate within a division and they are dependant on division troops for support.

In Canada we have Brigade Groups, which are slightly larger than brigades and include brigade troops (reconnaissance, artillery, engineers, signals, aviation, medical and logistics (including military police)). The term "Brigade Group" is often used to designate a combined arms Brigade. These formations are not dependant on divisional troops for support, and can be fought independent of a higher formation.

Canadian Mechanized Brigade Groups are typically composed of the following:
* 1x Headquarters / Signal Squadron
* 2 x Mechanized Infantry Battalions
* 1 x Light Infantry Battalion
* 1x Armoured Regiment (including a reconnaisance squadron)
* 1x Field Artillery Regiment
* 1x Engineer Regiment
* 1x Service Battalion (but it is technically not part of the CMBG)
* 1x Field Ambulance unit (but it is technically not part of the CMBG)
* 1x Military Police platoon

Canadian Brigade Groups (the title given to the reserve brigades) have no fixed organization and are primarily trainining organizations with a certain domestic operations capabilities (although this is changing too...). For example, one Res CBG may consists of a headquarters, two Armoured units, three Artillery units, five Infantry units, one Engineer sub-unit and three combat service support units. Other CBGs are totally different: it is really a geographic and administrative grouping rather than an operational one.

== xx - Division ==
A division consists of 2 to 3 brigades (or 2 to 3 Regiments), plus division troops (reconnaissance, artillery, engineers, signals, aviation, medical and logistics (including military police)) commanded by a Major General.

There are currently no Divisions within the Canadian Army.

== xxx - Corps ==
2+ divisions, plus corps troops (reconnaissance, artillery, engineers, signals, information/electronic warfare, aviation, medical and logistics (including military police))commanded by a Lieutenant General

== xxxx - Army ==
2+ corps

== xxxxx - Army Group or Theater Command ==
2+ Armies

== Return to Land Force Command ==

-[[Context]]
The mission of the DND and the CF is to defend Canada, its interests and its values, while contributing to international peace and security.

To execute this mission the CF must be given broad authority and latitude in utilizing CF members and their skills. The statutory basis for this authority is the National Defence Act. The fundamental importance of this authority to the functioning and effectiveness of the CF is recognized in the Canadian Human Rights Act which provides that the duty to accommodate under that Act is subject to the principle of universality of service. Under this principle, CF members must at all times and under any circumstances perform any functions that they may be required to perform.

Effective performance of the broad range of defence and security tasks assigned to the CF requires that CF members be capable of performing a similarly broad range of general military, common defence and security duties, in addition to the more particular duties of their military occupation or occupational specification. This open-ended nature of military service is one of the features that distinguish it from the civilian notion of employment governed by a contract, which obliges employees to perform only those duties specified in their job description or contract.

-[[Principle]]
The principle of universality of service or "soldier first" principle holds that CF members are liable to perform general military duties and common defence and security duties, not just the duties of their military occupation or occupational specification. This may include, but is not limited to, the requirement to be physically fit, employable and deployable for general operational duties.

This open-ended nature of military service is one of the features that distinguish it from the civilian notion of employment governed by a contract, which obliges employees to perform only those duties specified in their job description or contract.

Combat Engineers are one of the [[The Combat Arms|combat arms]] of the [[CF Organization|Canadian Forces]] .

== General ==
Engineers perform a variety of both construction and destruction tasks on the modern battlefield; in the most modern sense Canada first had its own military engineers from 1903 and the creation of the Canadian Engineer Corps. Several name changes occurred in the 20th Century, and the Canadian Military Engineers were so designated in 1967 following Unification of the three armed services in Canada into an integrated military.

==== Primary Role of the Engineers ====

To permit friendly forces to live, move and fight on the field of battle and to deny the same to the enemy.

==== Secondary Role of the Engineers ====

To fight as infantry when required.

==== Motto of the Engineers ====

Ubique <i>(Everywhere)</i>

====CFSME, Canadian Forces School of Military Engineering====

Located at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, NB. Aside from being the principal training establishment of the Canadian Military Engineers, it is the heart and soul of the Branch.

CFSME is organized with a Headquarters, and five squadrons *(DOC, STDS , FETS, CETS and RETS), plus Tactics and CAES. In the summer months, RETS is formed to conduct training for Reserve Force Personnel.

*[[HQ - Headquarters]]
*[[DOC - Doctrine Squadron]]
*[[STDS - Standards Squadron]]
*[[FETS - Field Engineer Training Squadron]]
*[[CETS - Construction Engineering Training Squadron]]
*[[RETS - Reserve Engineer Training Squadron]]
*[[TAC - Tactics]]
*[[CAES - Construction and Airfield Engineering Squadron]]

CFSME is responsible for more than 75 courses and the total number of course serials vary between 75 and 100 per year. These courses range from the trades’ courses required for Combat and Construction Engineering, Officer Training and specialty training for the CME Branch, as well as other Branches. Over 1000 military and civilian employees of the Federal Government annually benefit from attending the challenging training provided by this school whose unofficial motto is "Excellence In Military Engineering".
