Raison d’être

On behalf of the people of Canada, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the Department of National Defence (DND) stand ready to support a vision in which Canada is:

Strong at home, its sovereignty well defended by a CAF also ready to assist in times of natural disaster, other emergencies and search and rescue;
Secure in North America, active in a renewed defence partnership in North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and with the United States; and
Engaged in the world, with the Canadian Armed Forces doing its part in Canada’s contributions to a more stable, peaceful world, including through peace support operations and peacekeeping.

The National Defence Act establishes DND and the CAF as separate entities, operating within an integrated National Defence Headquarters, as they pursue their primary responsibility of providing defence for Canada and Canadians.

The Minister of National Defence is responsible for DND.

Additional information can be found in the Organization’s Departmental Plan.
