It provides tangible demonstrations of U.S. resolve and joint readiness capability to project a military presence anywhere in the world, in support of national interests and commitments to U.S. allies. Joint training with allies provides the necessary interaction to test and evaluate combined systems, lines of communication, and technical agreements. The Joint Exercise Program (JEP), Combating Terrorism Readiness Initiatives Fund (CbT RIF), the Combatant Commander (CoCOM) Initiatives Fund (CCIF), and the CoCOM Command and Control Initiatives Program (C2IP) support emergent requirements of the CoCOMs. This budget also includes the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence for the Warrior (C4IFTW) program, including the Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration (CWID).

    Are We Really Just: Peacekeepers? The Perception Versus the Reality of Canadian Military Involvement in the Iraq War Sean M. Maloney, Ph.D. IRPP Working Paper Series no. 2003-02 1470 Peel Suite 200 Montréal Québec H3A 1T1 514.985.2461 514.985.2559 fax www.irpp.org 1 Are We Really Just Peacekeepers? The Perception Versus the Reality of Canadian Military Involvement in the Iraq War Sean M. Maloney, Ph.D. Part of the IRPP research program on National Security and Military Interoperability Dr. Sean M. Maloney is the Strategic Studies Advisor to the Canadian Defence Academy and teaches in the War Studies Program at the Royal Military College. He served in Germany as the historian for the Canadian Army’s NATO forces and is the author of several books, including War Without Battles: Canada’s NATO Brigade in Germany 1951-1993; the controversial Canada and UN Peacekeeping: Cold War by Other Means 1945-1970; and the forthcoming Operation KINETIC: The Canadians in Kosovo 1999-2000. Dr. Maloney has conducted extensive field research on Canadian and coalition military operations throughout the Balkans, the Middle East and Southwest Asia. Abstract The Chrétien government decided that Canada would not participate in Operation Iraqi Freedom, despite the fac ts that Canada had substantial national security interests in the removal of the Saddam Hussein regime and Canadian military resources had been deployed throughout the 1990s to contain it. Several arguments have been raised to justify that decision. First, Canada is a peacekeeping nation and doesn’t fight wars. Second, Canada was about to commit military forces to what the government called a “UN peacekeeping mission” in Kabul, Afghanistan, implying there were not enough military forces to do both, so a choice had to be made between “warfighting” and “peacekeeping.” Third, the Canadian Forces is not equipped to fight a war.

General (1) U.S. and Honduran forces have conducted combined training exercises since 1965. In 1983, the Honduran government requested an increase in the size and number of those exercises, and as a result, Joint Task Force-Bravo (JTF-B) was established in August 1984. JTF-B was established to exercise command and control of U.S. Forces and exercises in the Republic of Honduras, and is a subordinate command of the United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM). Before being designated JTF-B in 1984, this task force was known as JTF-11 and then as JTF-Alpha. Following the events of September 11, 2001 and the Global War on Terror; the size/footprint of JTF-B slowly reduced to a fraction of what it once was as forces were redeployed to the Middle East.
