| Answer: |
The military needs to a well-equipped and trained combat capable force capable of participating in mid-level intensity conflicts at the formation level (Brigade level). The military must be self-sufficient with regards to equipment and support, such as transport ships/ aircraft. As well, the miltary must be capable of integrating into coalition operations (specifically NATO, primarily the US).
Peace-keeping operations are important but should not be confused with the primary role of the military, which is to fight in the defense of Canada and the promotion of its interests abroad.
