    The Special Service Force is a pretty cool story...and a nice history.
    I believe the 1st Parachute Battalion which became the Canadian Airborne Regiment took over the specialized role with it's Rangers and Pathfinders.
    When we lost the CAR those capabilities were lost.
    The JTF came about in the early ninties.

    We had the Canadian SAS also...they disbanded after WWII.
    It would of been nice to see the name come back...it has alot of honour to it earned by it's members during it's short history.

        There have been reports that Canada's top secret commandos, Joint Task Force 2, had been working in Iraq. It's believed they worked in tandem with Britain's elite Special Air Service (SAS).
        That's pretty much what was reported over here, a joint UK/US/Canadian special forces gig.

                No they're not Nick. Canada is not part of the coalition. JTF (supposedly) was there strictly for this hostage situation. Although, I know they've used some of our special forces in other wars which we supposedly weren't a part of (such as Vietnam).

                    I was speaking of special operators' training...

                    Canucks, Brits, and Yanks routinely train together...

                            Our Special Force members do quite often embed themselves with US or British Special Forces teams.
                            The best training in the world is the real thing.

                            Like Nick said...these guys are interchangable.
