The common name of the land force portion of the Canadian Armed Forces. The Canadian Army (under Land Force Command) is divided up into 4 areas: Land Force Western Area, Land Force Central Area, Land Force Quebec Area and Land Force Atlantic Area.

Despite the lack of a substancial budget (like the US forces have) the Canadian Army is widely regarded as one of the best trained in the world and has taken part in every UN peacekeeping mission since the UN's inception in the 50's.

The Canadian army was also very instrumental in World War I. For example, when Germany first introduced nerve gas, it was the Canadian line that held Germany back (despite lack of gas masks) as the British and French lines fell back.
