Had a co-worker who was on JTF2. Without revealing any names he told me a couple of stories one day when we met with a few of his buddies from the military. Very intense and dangerous. He suffers PTSD and anxiety and it eventually broke up his marriage. These soldiers and their families sacrifice so much for our freedom and safety. Although things are improving a little, we still do not treat them well enough when they come home. Especially when they are forced to retire early due to injuries on duty or after serving. I was a cadet when I was younger , but did not get the opportunity to serve as I could not pass the medical to become a pilot. I have the deepest respect and gratitude for those who did go on to serve, and serve today. I am also proud that one of my daughter's works as an ECE for Kingston Military Families Resource Centre.

He said when they flew out (civilian airline, lol in civvies) people just stared at the 16 of them.

He then said “I’d better keep my heels together then” or something to that effect. I don’t really know what that means exactly but I imagine it was a show of respect for the General. When my cousin retired, he moved back to our same little town. He still does a lot of work though. I don’t think someone like him can ever really retire completely. (Ps.

@@stevestruthers6180 According to Tested Mettle, during the Peruvian mission an advance group of JTF2 soldiers was sent to Lima to plan the ambush. The military's plan called for the main commando force to be flown in a Canadian Forces aircraft as a kind of "modern-day Trojan Horse," Mr. Taylor and Mr. Nolan write. According to the book, when the Tupac Amaru guerrillas boarded the Canadian aircraft as part of a deal for safe passage, they would be most vulnerable to a surprise attack and could be ambushed by the commandos. News reports at the time suggested that Canadian troops would be used to guarantee safe passage for the guerrillas to Cuba or another country. When negotiations for Canada to provide safe passage for the guerrillas failed, the JTF2 plan was aborted. The guerrillas were holding their hostages in an attempt to force the Peruvian government to release Tupac Amaru members held in prison. The hostage drama ended when Peruvian commandos swarmed into the Japanese ambassador's home, killing all 14 guerrillas in the attack and rescuing the hostages. The Peruvian commandos were being advised by members of the British Special Air Service, one of the elite units that Joint Task Force 2 regularly co-operates with.

JTF2 is next level. I had a mate who was "OPFOR" for in a training event. They were defending a building.. well dynamic entry time. One of the assaulters had a flash bang cook off in his had which would be as horrible as you would imagine, but they still rickrolled them and then took the injured man away AFTER then finished. Hella hard core. Oh Canada!

Videos like this make me so proud to be a Canadian. We may be 10% the size of USA but we can keep up with any armed forces pound for pound!!

[@codyevans5240]

Okay, so I mean this with no offence but it’s clear you don’t have much experience working with your northern neighbours but I shall clarify a few things for you! 1.) the first video is three different CANSOFCOM units. Each with their own speciality and how they are used. The guys who do the fast moving repel are CJIRU, these guys are our CBRN special forces operators. The guys in the dessert, and winter warfare kit, and divers are JTF2, everything else is CSOR. JTF2 is defined as a surgical instrument and CSOR is our blunt hammer. The guys in the background behind Stephen Harper talking are Navy Personnel.

[@tombob671]

77 year old Jarhead here, in 1963 I lived in Calgary. The was a unit of the Canadian army there at Currie Barracks. Those guys were legit. My dad fought in Italy in the 5th US army. He spoke very highly of the Canadian Army. Later he worked for an oil company and we were transferred from Tulsa to Calgary. Canadians are the nicest folks on the planet

[@HomesteadViewin]

In the 80s we had the maroon beret airborne regiment, after an incident in Somalia they were disbanded and they returned to their mother units and formed airborne platoons within their respective regiments. JTF was an experiment to bring some of the airborne back together and tighten training and security. It was so successful it was then turned into JTF2 which is a much larger scale operation and encompasses all 3 arms of the military. Air/Sea/Land, they do it all....extremely well. Cudos boys.

[@The_Zilli]

thanks for answering that unasked question, what happened to JTF1 - now i know. ;)

JTF2 was formed in 1993 before the Airborne Regt was disbanded. The airborne was axed 1 September 1995

My father was a member of joint task force. Military veteran hardcore guy. He’s currently in rough health due to liver failure but I have soo many stories and pictures of my father. He worked with delta and SAS operatives. The force is so secretive. He would get a page and he couldn’t tell my mom where he was going had to grab his rucksack and hop on the Apache to the base for briefings. Wouldn’t see the guy for 2 years at one point. Bad father but an amazing soldier.

[@lavernekeller1658]

The action that brought JTF2 into the limelight happened in the early 2000s in Afghanistan where a JTF2 sniper made the then longest ever shot on an insurgent of over a mile if I recall correctly. That has since been surpassed but the top spot is still held by a Canadian Forces member from Iraq during the offensive against ISIS where the Canadians were supporting the Iraqi military.

[@beerthug]

'96 in Petawawa had a poster going into the mess hall, about i pictures of these guys rappelling, going through airplanes, selection ruck march, and other ones I forget. At the bottom of the poster all the writing had was a question "Are you up for it?" And a phone # !
