Defence of Canada Force
The Defence of Canada Force is a Home Guard type force established in the Canada in 1989. It was linked to the Army Reserves and recruited from volunteers aged 18–60 with previous Canadian forces (Reserve or Regular Force) experience. It was introduced to guard key points and installations likely to be the target of enemy ‘special forces’ and saboteurs, so releasing other units for mobile Defence roles. The pilot started in September 1989 and consisted of four companies that were used to relieve the Army of guarding key points, consisting of 18-59 year-olds with training obligation of 4-5 weekends per year. By 1990 there were 5,000 persons nationwide, with one platoon of 20-26 persons in every reserve force regiment. Membership was open to recruits who had previous military service, which could have been with the Army, Royal Canadian Navy or Royal Canadian Air Force, or as adult instructors in the Army, Navy or Air Cadet Forces. Reserve personnel of significant length of service were also eligible. This meant that there wasn’t the usual raw recruit training, just refresher training to bring everyone up to speed.
