This is readiness in action! As we enter 2026, the Canadian Army continues to build momentum, advancing modernization while remaining ready and delivering for Canadians and our allies. Happy New Year to all!

Col Chris Sines, the @CanadianArmy's Director of Land Requirements, speaks about how the Army is positioning projects to meet a modernization mandate and capitalize on new funding and processes. https://t.co/AsUup7xzBY

Congratulations to Pte Joshua Schultz for snapping our 2025 Photo of the Year! Our Image Techs do great work capturing the skill, discipline, and determination that lie at the heart of the Canadian Army story.

We're moving in. 31 Canadian Brigade Group conducted Ex ARROWHEAD GUARDIAN 2025 in Grayling, Michigan to build coordination and skills between the units of the Brigade.

From the moment @CanadianArmy soldiers arrive on Operation Reassurance, they are subject to an onslaught of cyber threats. In November, the Army launched an initiative to better prepare soon-to-be deployed troops for what is to come. https://t.co/RUpoDlQO2R

Last month, Infantry Officers and NCOs on the Direct Fire Support Commander Course participated in a weeklong battle school, Ex BADR DAWN, to develop their capabilities as Direct Fire Support Section and Platoon Commanders. 1/2

"The shift of 3 Cdn Div to Manoeuvre Division marks a major step in that process, solidifying it as Canada’s core land combat force for independent brigade‑ and division‑level engagements, with a focus on warfighting as well as Arctic mobility and persistence."

Wonderful news for the 20th IFB, RCA, on receiving the very prestigious Lt. Governor's Award for the Most Outstanding Unit in 41 Brigade, which was presented by 41 Brigade Commander, Col. Clapperton (left front in picture). @DavidGrebstad @CanadianArmy @KyleClapperton

The Canadian Rangers Enhancement project aims to develop a holistic view of operational output, training, equipment, infrastructure and staffing, supported by more formal structure and policies. https://t.co/riRa9OeGB1

Great that troops deployed to Latvia now have an ATGM but it highlights sheer insanity of our procurement system. This was an 'urgent' buy initiated in 2022. We're funded to double this UOR but it will take years - and $700M still sits unspent since 2017 for an Army-wide system.

A new record for CAF Basic Training! It's become tradition at CFLRS to hold a 5 am parade every week the school is full. Today we hit a new high with 28 platoons in St-Jean + 2 at our det in CFB Borden, for a total of 30. To celebrate we knocked out 28,000 pushups together.

Under the leadership of Canada, the Multinational Brigade in Latvia executed a Sling Load Drop Off using the CH-147F Chinook helicopter. #CAFOperations #NATO #CH147F #MNBLVA #DeterAndDefend

So, here's the basic outline of the new structure for the Canadian Army. 1/

Exercise OAK RESOLVE 25-02 is well underway. This demonstration of readiness, endurance, and teamwork between the allied nations of MNB-Latvia demonstrates our commitment to the alliance and to #DeterAndDefend on NATO’s Eastern flank.

Bringing capabilities to the battlespace. The Canadian Army is bringing anti-air capabilities to Ex OAK RESOLVE. Watch one of our junior leaders demonstrate the cutting-edge RBS-70 NG in the field.

AOC students got to try out the Clash card game for the first time today, using it to explore battle group operations in a drone-heavy environment. It pushed them to think through the problem set and sparked some great discussion!
