| Abstract: |
IN JANUARY 2002, IT BECAME APPARENT that negotiations were under way to place a substantial part of the Canadian armed forces – land and sea forces as well as air – under the operational control of a permanent, integrated command structure under United States leadership. The creation of a `Northern Command’ in April 2002 unified the continental United States into a single military command and provided a logical precursor to an expansion that would include Canada and Canadian forces. A number of difficult questions will have to be answered before the Canadian government could responsibly embark on closer military co-operation of this kind. |
