The Regular Force is the full-time component of the Canadian Armed Forces. Its members are employed full-time, usually on long-term contracts of three to nine years, and can be ordered into overseas deployments, whereas the Primary Reserve offers more flexibility and fewer benefits. The Regular Force draws no line between the services: it includes full-time sailors of the Royal Canadian Navy, who serve in the two fleets MARLANT and MARPAC, full-time soldiers of the Canadian Army, and the wings and squadrons of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The cited article gives roughly 68,000 Regular Force personnel against an authorised strength of 71,500, alongside a Reserve Force authorised at 30,000. This entry describes the Regular Force as a standing component of Canada's military, and the three services each have their own treatment elsewhere.
