Canada Offically Has a SF unit…
It would seem that Canada disclosed they had a SF unit in a big way in a recent exercise, complete with the Prime Minister showing up fpr the photo op. Up until 1992 the the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) was responcible for Canuk CT. Then, in 1993, with a hundred men of the Canadian Airborne Regiment and Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, JTF2 was formed.
Highly classified and under the radar for the past 19 years, JTF2 has been involved all over the world and now has over 600 operators.
From CTV Canada, ” Members of Joint Task Force 2, an elite group praised for its counter-terrorism operations around the world, participated in a complex simulation exercise in Hudson Bay and Churchill, Man., in front of cameras for the first time, as Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Defence Minister Peter MacKay looked on.
The simulation was part of Operation Nanook 12’s annual summer exercises and involved dropping Joint Task Force 2 operators from Griffon helicopters on a “vessel of interest,” played in the scenario by an oil-and-gas exploration ship from Cape Breton. Other soldiers,
clad in black, surrounded the ship on inflatable boats.”
