The Normandy Landings happened 80 years ago today in which we played a significant role. We contributed 110 ships and 10,000 sailors in support of the landings. On D-Day, Canadians suffered 1074 casualties, including 359 killed. #CanadaRemembers #DDAY80

Naval warships are usually most vulnerable to enemy attack while in port , unable to use their speed & maneuverability to evade & reliant on shore air & air defence assets. It’s been a perennial concern over the centuries for naval forces, which should be re-learned by the West
A Ukrainian missile strike hit a Russian warship in Crimea on Tuesday, in one of the most significant attacks against Moscow’s Black Sea Fleet in months.

Combined, these articles make a compelling case for the need for further investments into the humanitarian sector of Canada’s emergency management system which will help strengthen the country's resiliency in preparing for, responding to, & recovering from major disasters

This in turn will help clarify what the role and contribution of the CAF should be in domestic emergency response, enabling better planning and preparation by the military to be ready to support these operations alongside its other tasks and missions.
