EspañolCANADIAN SPECIAL OPERATIONS REGIMENT
(Redirected from CSOR)
'The Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR)' is a high-readiness, agile and robust special operations force capable of supporting and conducting a broad range of special operations missions at home and abroad. At full strength, the battalion sized unit will be composed of three direct action companies and a support company. Personnel in the unit will possess a host of skills that enable them to operate in a variety of terrains and environments.
Drawn from all parts of the Canadian Forces (CF), CSOR will provide the Commander of Canadian Special Operations Force Command (CANSOFCOM) with the ability to insert forces in any part of the world by conventional and non-conventional means. CSOR will get the right mix of forces to the right place, at the right time, producing the right result. Highly flexible and adaptable, unit members will be able to work in small groups for extended periods without requiring significant support.
CSOR is currently at interim operational capability with full operational capability slated for 2010.
CSOR will broaden the range of special operations capabilities within the CF, providing a more sophisticated set of tools to deal with the current and future operating environments. CSOR will be capable of operating independently as well as being able to generate Special Operations Forces (SOF) elements to support Canada Command (Canada COM) and the Canadian Expeditionary Forces Command (CEFCOM). Integrating special operations forces in this manner will increase their impact in operations, as well as the range of options available to the government in the deployment of the CF. CSOR, as one of the key components of CANSOFCOM is making the CF more effective, relevant, and responsive.
CANSOFCOM is a new organization that will be capable of responding to terrorism and threats to Canadians and Canadian interests around the world. It is composed of CSOR in Petawawa, Joint Task Force 2 (JTF 2) in Ottawa, 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron (427 SOAS) in Petawawa and the Joint Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defence (JNBCD) Company in Trenton.
Lieutenant Colonel Jamie Hammond is the first and current commander of the regiment.
As Joint Task Force 2 was created to take over the mandate of the RCMP Special Emergency Response Team, they are intrinsicly tied to Canadian soil. It has been stated by Col Barr, Commander CANSOFCOM, in Proceedings of the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence, 27 November 2006 [1].
"In the main, the Canadian Special Operations Regiment enables special operations and, specifically, JTF2; thus, JTF2 can focus on the precise tasks for which they are so well selected and trained. However, particularly in out-of-area operations, we see that the Canadian Special Operations Regiment would be the more appropriate organization to put to the task."
This of course is an indication that CSOR will eventually be regiment responsible for special forces operations outside of Canada.
In April 2005, the Canadian government's new defence policy statement was made public. It included a concept of first responders for international tasks consisting of "special forces" (such as an expanded Joint Task Force 2) supported by one of the light battalions.
This concept of operations is similar to the US Army Rangers, or the new Special Forces Support Group of the UK Special Forces Group, both of which support high-level Special Forces units. This eventually led to the formation of the Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR).
The Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR) was initially established with about 125 members; however its eventual strength is planned to be about 800 members.
