(2) The components of the Canadian Forces are: (a) the Regular Force; (b) the Reserve Force; and
(c) when established by the Governor in Council under section 16 of the National Defence Act, the Special Force. (See article 2.04 - The Special Force.)
“16. (1) In an emergency, or if considered desirable in consequence of any action undertaken by Canada under the United Nations Charter, the North Atlantic Treaty or any other similar instrument for collective defence entered into by Canada, the Governor in Council may establish and authorize the maintenance of a component of the Canadian Forces, called the special force, consisting of:
(a) officers and non-commissioned members of the regular force who are placed in the special force under conditions prescribed in regulations;
(b) officers and non-commissioned members of the reserve force who, being on active service or having applied and been accepted for continuing, full-time military service, are placed in the special force under conditions prescribed in regulations; and
