Personnel: Expand the CF to a total strength of

100,000 (Regular 70,000/Reserve 30,000) by fiscal

year202728;

Equipment: Renew the CFs core equipment

25 per cent of DND infrastructure holdings within

10years,

with

approximately

replaced or refurbished over 20 years to meet

Canadasfuturedefenceandsecurityrequirements.

TheCFDSarticulatesthebroadstrategicvisionforDefencealignedwiththelevelofambitionidentified
