Canadian Comment on NATO commitments and force levels
Peter War argues Canada cannot meet NATO and UN obligations with about 14 000 ground troops. He estimates 3 000 in Germany, 5 000 to Norway, 1 500 in UN peacekeeping, and 12 500 total commitments, leaving less than 1 500 for Canada’s defense if emergency struck. He calls for expanding forces or scaling back obligations.
