Team,
The culmination of a year of planning and collaboration across the division resulted in a smooth transition from the Contingency Phase to the Committed Phase of the Managed Readiness Plan (MRP). 4th Canadian Division’s (4 Cdn Div) soldiers and officers are poised to co-integrate into a single team, focused on excellence in operations, both domestic and expeditionary, and targeted force generation in equal measure. Balance, commitment and predictability are at the center of the 4 Cdn Div approach.
