	Canadian Forces Land Force Command - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LFC is the descendant of the Canadian Army which was the name of Canada's land forces from 1940 until February 1, 1968.
		The name was changed from FMC to Land Force Command in a 1997 reorganization of the Canadian Forces.
		After 1971, the regular force battalions of the QOR and the Black Watch were dissolved (their Militia battalions remained in Toronto and Montreal, respectively) with their personnel distributed between the RCR and PPCLI, while the Canadian Guards were disbanded.

		First impressions indicate that the armed forces of many states are mere political adjuncts to US foreign policy and that land forces are being eclipsed by land and sea-based airpower.
		Although it is apparent that armed forces are evolving to make their land forces more relevant in the current strategic environment, it is also apparent that states are drawing many lessons from both the post cold-war security environment and their response to international terrorism.
		Conventional land forces have not yet harmonised rapid strategic projection with battlefield dominance although this remains the objective of the FCS programme.

	The Future of Land Forces
		Thus, the "low-end" of a future land force could be many times the size, in terms of manpower, of the high-end, a division of labor that could pose significant cultural and institutional challenges for future force managers.
		Land forces will still combine well for future stability operations, such as those currently underway in the former Yugoslavia, although the increased risk that may be present in such operations may cause more would-be partners to eschew participation in the first place.
		Nations with shared geostrategic interests and similar high-end force postures could, of course, combine their forces in any number of ways, and the substantially reduced quantity of ground forces that will likely be required in future power projection contingencies may make the political decision to commit such forces easier.

	RELATING LAND USE & GLOBAL LAND-COVER CHANGE
		Comparative assessments of population and land use suggest that: (i) population growth is positively correlated with the expansion of agricultural land, land intensification, and deforestation, but (ii) these relationships are weak and dependent on the inclusion or exclusion of statistical outliers (Bilsborrow and Geores 1991; Bilsborrow and Okoth-Ogendo 1992).
		At time t,, the underlying human driving forces lead to actions precipitating demand for land use #l (# corresponds to Figure 2), which requires the manipulation of the land cover by means of technology employed in human activities such as clearing, harvesting, or adding nutrients (proximate sources of change).
		Changes to a new state of land cover are of at least two kinds: modification as in land cover #2 (e.g., fertilization of cropland or planting exotic grasses in pastures) and conversion as in land cover #3 (e.g., forest to cropland or dryland to paddy agriculture).

	Employment of Naval Forces
		Sufficient of his land, sea or air territory must be invaded, however, to establish the destructive potential of the victor and to engender in the enemy that hopelessness which precedes submission.
		They were a consolidated land power with the advantage of interior lines and the possession of several large sea and river ports affording access to world commerce which they vitally needed.
		The net result is that naval forces are able, without resorting to diplomatic channels, to establish offshore anywhere in the world, air fields completely equipped with machine shops, ammunition dumps, tank farms, warehouses, together with quarters and all types of accommodations for personnel.

		Emphasis on these basic force elements continues in the post-Cold War period, although significant changes are being made in some of their components and in the ways they are employed in joint operations.
		Forces of varying size and composition can be committed to an operation, depending on the nature and scale of response required.
		The MPA force is being reduced to 12 active and eight reserve squadrons as part of the overall reduction in naval forces.

	HyperWar: Handbook on Japanese Military Forces
		Special naval landing forces were used extensively in landing operations on the China coast beginning with 1932, and often performed garrison duty upon capturing their objective.
		Special naval landing forces, or similar organizations, are occupying a number of outlying bases, because the Army has been reluctant to take over the defenses of these outposts.
		The earlier special naval landing forces received extensive training in landing operations and beach defense, but their training in infantry weapons and tactics does not appear to have been up to the standard of the Japanese Army.

	Global Beat: Multinational Land Forces and Headquarters and the NATO Force Structure Review
		Land forces are the most difficult to command in a multinational setting given the requirement of their commanders to exercise greater command authority over them than is required by coalition naval and air forces.
		The factors that determine the smallest size of a land force contribution to a multinational land formation are: 1) size of declared unit, and 2) the command authorities granted by nations to the multinational force commander.
		That said, let there be no doubt that without a fresh review of the practices under which multinational land force commanders currently command their forces to grant them greater authorities, a mere redesignation of headquarters' missions will be for naught.

	Army Vision 2010 - Geostrategic Environment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The second reason for the rise in significance of land forces is their direct relevance to the National Military Strategy's strategic enablers: overseas presence and power projection.
		Fourth, U.S. land forces are most suitable for supporting the military's contribution to peacetime engagement and interaction with foreign military forces.
		However, while cognizant of the increased demand for land forces at the lower end of the contingency spectrum in the near term, we must remain vigilant of the fundamental role of the Army- to fight and win the Nation's wars as the land component of the joint force.

	Human Driving Forces
		These are the land use and land cover changes that have received the most attention in the popular press and in the scientific literature, but land use/cover changes have occurred at all times in the past, are presently ongoing, and are likely to continue in the future in all parts of the world.
		The first unit of the module introduces students to the human dimensions of global change and to the central role that the study of land use/land cover change plays within the larger field of global environmental and climatic change.
		In the third unit, students relate land use changes to human driving forces; by linking changes at a global scale to those at a local scale, the module activities make global change a personal concern.

		We intend to produce as time goes on not only the organisation of the land forces, but also biographies of senior commanders, individual regimental histories and details of particular engagements and battles in the not too well documented Italian, Galician, Carpathian, Rumanian and Serbian theatres of operations.
		The primary motive for producing a site of this type was to document the largely unknown subject of the Austro-Hungarian forces and to provide a mirror to Mick O'Shea's Pocket German Army site.

	Multinational Land Forces and the NATO Force Structure Review
		Since 1991, standing and mobilization forces made available by nations to NATO have been steadily reduced, particularly in the case of land forces.
		However, the author argues that, while there are arguably sufficient reaction forces to support NATO Ministerial Guidance, there are numerous weaknesses that would, and have, inhibited the efficient and effective deployment of land forces in crises.
		The continued existence of what has become atavistic practices of nations impede and inhibit the employment of multinational land forces by an Allied commander.
