Canada to Cut NATO Forces In Europe To 5000 Men
Canada will reduce its European NATO contingent from 19 800 to 5 000 men and arm only with conventional weapons. Six squadrons of Strike aircraft will drop to three with Starfighters limited to ground support and reconnaissance. A 5 800 man motorized brigade will become 2 800 men as a light air mobile force. Honest John rockets will be removed. Cadieux cites $70 million annual savings and a broader force reduction to 2 000 in the unified services, with budget frozen at 1 8 billion annually. The plan keeps Canada within NATO and prioritizes coastal surveillance and North American defense, plus peacekeeping roles.
