Canadian Airborne Forces

The Canadian Airborne Forces have a rich history, tracing its origins back to two units formed during the Second World War: the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion and the 1st Canadian Special Service Battalion. These units were later reorganized and combined as The Canadian Airborne Regiment in 1968, based at Canadian Forces Base Edmonton. The regiment was founded as an independent brigade command with various units, including infantry commandos, artillery, engineers, and a service company. Over the years, the regiment has been involved in numerous operations, including peacekeeping missions and counter-terrorism efforts.
The Canadian Airborne Forces Association (CAFA) represents the community, providing support and resources for veterans and their families.
