List of Canadian military operations

Last updated

Since 1947, the Canadian Armed Forces have completed 72 international missions. [1] More than 3,600 soldiers, sailors and Air Force personnel are deployed overseas on operational missions.

[2]

Canada's peacekeeping role during the 20th century has played a major role in its positive global image. [3] [4] Canada has served in over 50 peacekeeping missions. [5] Canada has long been reluctant to participate in military operations that are not sanctioned by the United Nations (UN), [6] [7] such as the Vietnam War or the 2003 invasion of Iraq. [6] [7] Canada has faced controversy over its operations in some foreign countries, notably the 1993 Somalia affair. [8]

Since the 21st century, Canadian direct participation in UN peacekeeping efforts greatly declined, with its military participation reallocated to UN-sanctioned operations through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). [9] This military reallocation resulted in a shift towards more militarized and deadly missions. [10] Canada's participation in the Afghanistan war (20012014) saw over 160 Canadian deaths, the largest for any single Canadian military mission since the Korean War in the early 1950s. [11] [12]

Alongside many domestic obligations and a few ongoing peacekeeping missions, the Canadian Armed Forces are currently deployed in multiple foreign military operation. [13] Below is a list of all currently active and past Canadian Armed Forces operations both within Canada's borders and internationally. [14] [13]
