Customs and traditions of the Canadian Forces
Canadian military tradition and its beliefs and behaviour patterns improves professionalism and effectiveness, guided by the actions of those who went before. Tradition provides one means for past experience to set standards against which to measure present and future conduct. It has a practical purpose in an armed force: it sustains the will to win.
