The Arctic Response Company Group has been introduced last week by canadian officials. The new Arctic Unit consists of regiments such as the Voltigeurs de Quebec, the Royal New Brunswick Regiment, the Grey and Simcoe Foresters, and the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. Those land forces have been assigned the important mandate to support the Regular Force and the Canadian Rangers in asserting Canada’s sovereignty in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. They will ensure security and respond to various threats in the Arctic as it is graduously becoming more and more suitable to the development of commercial activities with the improved accessibility associated with the melting ice cap.
