| | Reorganization of the Canadian Armed Forces |
 | | Even before completion of the integration of the Canadian Forces Headquarters, which began on 1 August 1964, the planning for the second major phase in the integration process, the creation of an integrated command structure for the field forces, was begun. |
 | | In the popular mind, the first two phases, the establishment of an integrated Canadian Forces Headquarters and the functional commands, constituted integration, whereas the third, unification, is often regarded as a separate and distinct phase. |
 | | Whether the Canadian plan serves as an example for any other nation in the integration or unification of its forces must depend on the size of its forces and their roles, on the economic and political necessity, and on the many factors which affect a nation’s capability to accept such radical reorganization. |
