  • The Canadian Army is not an independent service; rather it is the land component of Canada's integrated defence forces known as the Canadian Armed Forces. The Canadian Army is commanded from Canadian Army Headquarters at National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa and is subdivided into five divisions as of July 2013: * 1st Canadian Division * 2nd Canadian Division (formerly Land Force Quebec Area ) * 3rd Canadian Division (formerly Land Force Western Area ) * 4th Canadian Division (formerly Land Force Central Area ) * 5th Canadian Division (formerly Land Force Atlantic Area ) Each Division is responsible for the regular army and militia forces located within its geographical purview – all except the 5th Division has a regular army mechanized brigade group under its command, together with between two and three militia brigades. 1st Division is made up of approximately 2000 personnel, who compose a high readiness force. Each mechanized brigade group contains three infantry battalions, an armoured regiment, an artillery regiment, and a combat engineer regiment. Each brigade group also contains a service support battalion, signals squadron and military police platoon. In addition to the four Divisions, the Land Force Doctrine and Training System, commanded by a major-general and headquartered at McNaughton Barracks, CFB Kingston, Ontario, is responsible for the supervision, integration and delivery of the Land Force training and long-range planning for Land Force training and doctrine development, including simulation and digitization. It includes a number of schools and training organizations, such as the Combat Training Centre at CFB Gagetown, NB, and the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre at CFB Wainwright, AB.
