• Source: 41 Canadian Brigade Group

      • 41 Canadian Brigade Group (41 CBG; French: 41e Groupe-brigade du Canada) is a Canadian Army formation of the 3rd Canadian Division. The formation is composed of Army Reserve units within the province of Alberta and the Northwest Territories. The headquarters of the brigade is in Calgary.
      The brigade has an establishment of 2,500 all ranks. The role of the Army Reserve is to be "a professional part-time force that provides local engagement and a responsive integrated capability, at home or abroad, in sustainment of the Army mission." Most of the soldiers within the brigade serve part time in units or sub-units stationed in their communities. As the Canadian Army generates task-specific units for employment on expeditionary and domestic operations under the command of the Canadian Joint Operations Command, 41 CBG, as a force generator, is tasked with the following:

      On order provide general-purpose, combat-capable soldiers and specialist sub-subunits (troops or platoons) capable of augmenting the Regular Force on expeditionary operations; and
      On order provide a domestic response unit (Territorial Battalion Group), sub-units (Direct Response Companies), or sub-sub-units (Direct Response Platoons or Local Response Platoons) capable of augmenting the Regular Force on domestic operations.

      History



      There are two constants in the organization of the institution that is the Canadian Army, the "Army Headquarters" and the "Units". For effective and efficient intermediate command and control, formations such as corps, areas, divisions, districts, brigades and brigade groups were routinely organized, redesignated, reorganized, or disbanded as required. 41 Canadian Brigade Group is but the latest incarnation of the following fifteen Militia formations that have commanded the Alberta-based Army Reserve units since 1910:
