Land Forces Command

Land Forces Command "The Canadian Army"

Land Force Command (LFC) is the descendant of The Canadian Army which was the name of Canada's land forces from 1940 until February 1, 1968. At the time of unification all army units were placed under Force Mobile Command (FMC) with the name being changed to Land Force Command in a 1990s reorganization of the Canadian Forces. Despite the name changes, today the LFC is regularly refered to as "the Canadian Army."

LFC is responsible for army operations within the Canadian Armed Forces. LFC maintains bases across Canada and is responsible for the largest component of the Canadian Forces Reserves — the Army Reserve, often referred to as the "militia".
