More than 2,900 Canadian soldiers, sailors and Air Force personnel are deployed overseas on operational missions. On any given day, about 8,000 Canadian Forces members - one third of our deployable force - are preparing for, engaged in or returning from an overseas mission.
Since 1947, the CF has completed 72 international operations. That figure does not include current operations, or the many CF operations carried out in Canada.
