Rapid deployment force

I read in the paper a little while ago that the Forces is creating a new
"rapid deployment force" that can move anywhere in the world within 30 days.
It is to be about 1200-1500 strong. I was wondering if anybody had any
info about this. Personally, I think this is growing out of the loss of the
airborne maybe itll lead to the creation of the Canadian Parachute
Regiment?

I‘m curious to know where they are going to get the troops.

They will probably pull them from existing Para battalions. Or they might
just ask for vollunteers again. Like usual. Then that will open up room in
the trades.

RE: Rapid deployment forceThat funny, how DND always disbands something
the SSF in 1995 and realizes later that it still needs that
capability. The SSF was a lightly equipped Brigade Group with no tanks
or SPs. The SSF was completely airtransportable! When CFE closed down
all the Leopards and M109s went to Petawawa and SSF became 2 CMBG.
Within the SSF we had the airborne battle group which could deploy PDQ,
but, they also went the way of the SSF.
