I'm not suggesting for a minute that Canada should have aircraft carriers or that we need divisions of troops. We need the joint and special forces, though. They are essential capabilities. To some extent, the task is to try to figure out what are those credible, affordable niches?
The navy has ended up being a frigate, small-submarine navy. The army is not a division but has combat arms units and could get to a brigade, group, or division level if it really had to.
I'm not saying we're all things to all people and we have everything, but we have to have those five capabilities in order to put a credible response in place. We need to be able to respond to the possibility of leading an East Timor-type scenario, and that means you better not forget about the joint capability of the Kingston headquarters or your ability to inter-operate with nations of like minds. It's a challenge. It's an art, not a science.
