		Asked after the speech to expand on the role of JTF2, Gen. Hillier indicated that the unit has taken the fight against the Taliban and anti-western insurgency in southern Afghanistan directly to its top leaders.

	Canada's Elite Secret Army
		JTF2 is a hyper-secret, elite counter-terrorist and VIP security force of some 250 hand-picked volunteers who are super-fit and super-trained, whose identities are secret, whose budget is classified and who are our version of Britain's SAS and U.S. Special Forces.
		JTF2 was involved in various confrontations with Indians - and looked inept when the Mohawk Warrior Society, smuggling cigarettes and firing weapons at Cornwall, somehow tapped into and compromised JTF2's classified phone system.
		JTF2 is commanded by a Lieutenant-Colonel and members are selected from volunteers in the army, navy, and air force.

		A JTF2 procurement team recently returned from Sweden where it test-fired and then ordered a new anti-armour weapon specially designed to be used in confined spaces or for fighting in cities.
		Unlike the regular forces, which obtain their equipment through the ponderously slow federal procurement system, JTF2 is able to cut through much of the red tape and quickly get approval for gear from both the military and political leadership.
		O’Connor said JTF2 is able to acquire its equipment faster because the unit is ordering small amounts of gear and it has been given priority on such purchases by the military’s leadership.

	UNDE - Goose Bay
		Efforts are underway to convince the federal government to move the military's Joint Task Force 2 commando unit from Ottawa to Goose Bay, Labrador, to keep that remote base open and cement Liberal chances in a potentially key riding in the next election.
		Defence union president John MacLennan said Goose Bay is the perfect location for JTF2 because of the unit's fixation with secrecy and the sprawling size of the installation.
		MacLennan argues JTF2 doesn't need a presence in the Ottawa area since the RCMP's emergency response units would be the first called in to deal with a terrorist attack.

	Canada's JTF2 -- Gets a lot of favours, which is worrying (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The JTF2 unit certainly has something like that in their inventory, because it is an essential piece of kit in hostage rescue missions, which is a primary mission for JTF2.
		For JTF2, which doesn't have heavily armoured vehicles, like the coyote, a good crew served weapon is essential for survival if their convoy is attacked.
		JTF2 is simply a replacement for the Airborne Regiment, which ceased having a meaningful role when the Cold War ended, and the RCMP SERT team, which supposedly lacked the capability to be more than a standard police SWAT team.

		While there are no female commando operatives in the JTF2, the unit does have attached servicewomen in combat support roles such as the intelligence section.
		Unfortunately for those members of the JTF2 risking their lives in Afghanistan, their participation in the war against terror is considered a public relations godsend by their political masters.
		From Art Eagleton through John McCallum to incumbent Bill Graham, the brave untold and untellable deeds of the JTF2 have become something of a political lifeline: when the heat is on — regardless of the subject — deflect the press corps with a snippet of unverifiable news about the JTF2.

		On Sept. 11, 1995, Sundance camp members were driving to a pre-negotiated meeting with elders from outside the camp when the RCMP detonated a land mine in their path, ambushed them in Canadian Forces' armoured personnel carriers, and fired tens of thousands of bullets, including hollow-tip ammunition.

		The commandos also deployed to the Oka and Cornwall areas to deal with the threat from the Mohawk Warriors, and although it is not known exactly what they did there, it is believed the unit conducted surveillance missions against the natives involving in gun smuggling and organized crime.

		The Canadian soldiers who captured Afghani prisoners and turned them over to the US army, without protection of the Geneva Convention, are no strangers to illegal military occupation.
		The elite JTF2 forces are the inheritors of the Canadian Airborne Regiment, ostensibly disbanded in disgrace after evidence of racism and torture during Canada’s "peacekeeping" mission in Somalia in 1992-3.
		The Joint Task Force 2, formed in 1992, was originally designed to respond to "terrorist attacks." But the highly secretive force has expanded to take over many of the tasks, and the personnel, of the Canadian Airborne.
