4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group

4^th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (4 CRPG) is responsible for Canada’s four western provinces and reports to the 3rd Canadian Division (3 Cdn Div).

It provides patrols for national-security and public-safety missions in sparsely populated, coastal and isolated areas of Western Canada that cannot be conveniently or economically covered by other parts of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Canadian Rangers of 4 CRPG have been instrumental in the past in helping the RCMP and local enforcement officials by

• patrolling the West Coast and waters of Canada;
• conducting many search and rescue (SAR) operations;
• assisting in community evacuations; and

• providing support to 3^rd Canadian Division Operation LENTUS events.

Contact the Canadian Ranger Company in your province for more information or contact 4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group Headquarters for additional information on becoming a Canadian Ranger.

• Commanding Officer: Lieutenant-Colonel Jean-Pascal Roy
• Group Sergeant Major: Chief Warrant Officer Dave Shultz

All Canadian Rangers are issued C-19 rifle and 200 rounds of .308 ammunition. Canadian Rangers also have access to a first aid kit, Global Positioning System (GPS), compass and short wave radio through their patrol groups.
