	Canadian First Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Units of the army led the ill-fated Dieppe Raid (2 Brigades if the 2nd Infantry Division) and participated in the invasion of Sicily and mainland Italy, (1st Infantry Division) subordinated to the British Eighth Army and thus for a time not part of the Canadian First Army.
		In addition to II Canadian Corps (which included the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Infantry Divisions and the 4th Canadian Armoured Division), the 1st British Corps, and the 1st Polish Armoured Division, at various times American, Belgian, and Dutch soldiers were also included as units.
		The First Canadian Army in northwestern Europe during the final phases of the war was a powerful force, the largest army that had ever been under the control of a Canadian general.

	The Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies - Commentary - The Evolving Canadian Army
		By opting for a medium-weight force structure, by not replacing the Leopard tank on a one-for-one basis, and by eviscerating its artillery regiments, the army is quietly dropping all pretensions to being a combat-capable force with sufficient depth to “fight alongside the best against the best” in anything other than very short engagements.
		These army simulations tested the efficacy of MGS in a variety of combat and near-combat scenarios, concluding that flank screening and convoy escort were acceptable applications for the MGS.
		Both the Minister and the senior army leadership should be praised for the speed with which the project was approved, and for committing themselves to delivering a modern, sustainable army that is increasingly inter-operable with its evolving American counterpart.

	Education; History 1950 Look at "Army Aviation" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Since the winning Army Air Force of the last war was split from the Army by the Unification Act of 1947 and made independent, the Army has become more air-minded than ever.
		While the Army does not operate its own fighters, bombers, and big transports, every soldier in the field—from Private to General—is keenly aware of what air cover means to the troops, vulnerable if the enemy controls the air.
		Most of the Army lightplane flights have been unarmed except by carbines or pistols carried by the pilot and co-pilot, with maybe a few grenades to drop over the side.

	Salvation Army (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		There was much opposition to the Army and its methods from civic politicians and other entrenched interests in the early days, and Salvationists were often beaten and jailed for their activities in the streets of Canada’s cities and towns.
		The assumption that the Army’s congregations would continue to be almost exclusively white and English-speaking gradually gave way to reflect the fact that Canada, particularly in its large cities, is one of the most cosmopolitan countries in the world.
		Currently the Army’s delegate to the World Council of Churches is a Canadian, as is head of the Army in France, in Papau, New Guinea as well as the western USA territory.

	Officer, The: The Canadian Army Ready For The 21st Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		We must balance the Army's resource demand against the resources available and, given the limited flexibility the Army has, that almost certainly means a change in structure and probably means some reduction in regular force personnel.
		Here again, structural change is necessary to produce a certain type of structure that has a greater capability but with fewer resources demanded.
		We have had the model for years that the Reserve structure is largely a mirror image of the regular force, albeit at a lower level of readiness.

	E LAW \| Command Responsibility and Superior Orders in the Twentieth Century - A Century of Evolution - Text
		The Einsatzgruppen were four special units of the SS (as distinct from the army) whose functions included the murder of individuals of specific groups during the German military campaign in Russia.
		It is evident from the conduct of military operations by troops whose excesses are unrestrained by the orders of their commander would almost certainly result in violations which it is the purpose of the law of war to prevent.
		However the Israeli government did strike a formal commission of inquiry[236] and while the findings of the same were to the effect that the actual killings had been done by the Phalangists that, nevertheless, a high degree of responsibility lay with members of both the Israeli government as well as the Israeli military.

	History of the Mississippi River and Tributaries Project
		The Mississippi River levees are designed to protect the alluvial valley against the project flood by confining flow to the leveed channel, except where it enters the natural flwater areas or is diverted purposely into the floodway areas.
		Periodic inspections of maintenance are made by personnel from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and from local levee and drainage districts as it is essential that the levees be maintained in good condition for their proper functioning in the flood control plan.
		The first two features completed were the low-sill and overbank structures, the former to pass low and medium flows from the Mississippi to the Atchafalaya River in a controlled manner, and the latter to pass flood flows to the Atchafalaya in conformance with the flood control plan.

	The Regimental System
		We in the Canadian Army proclaim ourselves, perhaps not in such direct terms, to uphold the traditions and customs of the Victorian British Army and what we contend are historical precedents of the regimental system.
		Canadian reserve units have a unique view of the Regimental system and their own developed sense of belonging to a regiment rather than to a subordinate primary group.
		By this means, each Regiment protected the honour of the Regiment within the Army, the honour of the Army, and by extension the monarch (or, as in a Constitutional Canada, the nation, her government and her people).

	Subordinates' Assessments of Leadership in the Canadian Army

		Dissatisfaction with leadership in the Canadian Army is not a new phenomenon.
		The present study suggests that regardless of the reason, leaders in the Canadian Army may not be well-placed to assess the effects on subordinates of their leadership initiatives and those of their subordinate leaders.

		Since 1945, Canadian governments have accepted that the country’s military forces are incapable of defending the country on their own and that as a result cooperation with the United States and other allies is necessary.
		According to the army, “low-level operations” involve terrorism or some form of insurgency (with the application of the minimum necessary force), while a “midlevel operation” is another term for limited war, like the Gulf War or the 1999 Kosovo campaign, where the use of force is localized and noncontinuous.
		Canadian army doctrine states that a battle group is normally part of a brigade.

	The plot to kill the Canadian army [Free Republic]

		Besides, since the late 60's the Canadian Army has been staffed by French officers at the highest command levels, the English officers being forced out by their lack of French language skills.
		In days when cartridges had to be bitten before loading, the British army carried green cartridges greased with cow fat and red cartridges greased with pig fat so that the Muslim and Hindu troops could each use the ammunition without offending their religious beliefs.
