## Resource

Canada’s army is flipping its structure—shifting from regional divisions to mission-focused ones, with the First Division now handling international combat and NATO duties, while the Second takes on domestic security like Arctic defense and disaster relief. The Third Division, long representing Western Canada, is being stood down. Experts warn this could hurt recruitment, as young enlistees crave combat—not sandbagging. Historically, Canada’s regimental system—local units that surged during WWII, Korea, and Afghanistan—has been vital for wartime mobilization. The new model risks eroding that legacy by consolidating regiments under shared command, shrinking leadership pipelines, and weakening the backbone needed to rapidly deploy forces in future crises.
