That is something that happens to some of us as well.

[pyeknu]

True.  Well, let's try it again...

*drum roll*

With more than one division now on the Continent, it was time to reform the higher formation and inheritor of the reputation of the Allies' special "shock troops" from the Great War...I Canadian Corps.

Now, as been explained before, the Canadian Army had, since shortly after the end of the Cold War, concentrated more on the battalion battle group concept.  Here, a battalion of the RCR, the PPCLI or le R22eR would be matched to a loaned armoured squadron, artillery battery, engineer squadron and support forces to form a light-regimental sized group which could be inserted into places such as Bosnia or Afghanistan to both show the country's support for international moves to contain terrorists and help rebuild nations shattered by civil wars and also gain necessary experience in the "three block war" that was seen as the vogue for land operations in the wake of the fall of the USSR in 1991.

The Shift completely changed all that...

Once the full scale of what had to be done in Europe came to be understood, the Canadian Forces organized the Canadian Joint Operations Command Overseas (CJOC-O), which would serve as the effective administrative hub and rear-area operational command and control organization for all personnel deployed to the Continent regardless of branch of service.  Most of the troops forming CJOC-O in London and in places around the United Kingdom (including the main staging camp, Camp Maple, at the Aldershot Garrison in County Hampshire some distance from Southampton) came from such formations as the Canadian Forces Joint Operational Support Group in Kingston, augmented by personnel across the country that would cover all facets of military operations.

However, there was one problem...

Since it wasn't just a battalion going over...since it was not just a BRIGADE going over...and since it was planned for multiple DIVISIONS to go over...!

There was no choice but to have the commander of CJOC-O be dual-hatted as Commander I Canadian Corps for a time before 2e Division Méchanisé du Canada arrived in theatre, then the commander would be dual-hatted as Commander-in-Chief First Canadian Army.

However, despite the need to have a corps staff and support troops in France and the Benelux to control the combat divisions, the actual support troops were a lot smaller than what had once been demanded in the CORPS 86 wargame plans to deal with the Warsaw Pact before the end of the Cold War.  In lieu of large numbers of gunners, sappers, jimmies and purple tradesmen backstopping 1 CMD, 2e DMC and 4 CAD that would have made corps troop numbers equal to the fighting troops, "lean and mean" was the order of the day, which was helped a lot by the seventy year jump ahead of technology and tactics that would hopefully put paid to rest this joke:

"What happens when two Canadian Army officers get together?"
"They form a headquarters."

Since I CC is a bilingual formation, dual titles will be applied when necessary.  Let's get started...



Corps Troops
I Canadian Corps Headquarters (Quartier-Général de Ire Corps Canadien) (I CDN CORPS HQ) - Kingston
8 Canadian Signal Regiment (8e Régiment des Transmissions du Canada) (8 CSR) - Kingston
1 Military Police Battalion (1re Bataillon de Police Militaire) (1 MP BN) - Borden
1 Intelligence Battalion (1re Bataillon du Renseignement) (1 INT BN) - Kingston

Explaining the core command staff, now...
I CDN CORPS HQ - Formed from the headquarters staff of the Canadian Army Doctrine and Training Centre in Kingston, whose personnel were permitted to wear the red lozenge diamond of I CC at the time that the land forces areas were renamed as army divisions in 2013.  CADTC is the Canadian Army's formation responsible for all training and doctrinal development, from basic army training to high-level tactics.  Once I CC HQ is stood up, HQ CADTC would become I CC HQ (Rear) while still running all training establishments in the country.
8 CSR - Formed from volunteers from the Canadian Forces Joint Signal Regiment in Kingston augmented by newly-trained signal personnel passing through the Canadian Forces School of Communications and Electronics across old Highway 2 from CFJSR's home building as well as the reserve signal regiments.  Unlike the divisional signal units, 8 CSR is a telecommunications-ONLY force composed of three command-and-control hub squadrons (forward, rear and base) for I CC HQ as well as a workshop squadron to serve as second-line telecommunications maintenance to the division signal units.
1 MP BN - Detached from the Canadian Forces Military Police Group and formed at the Canadian Forces Military Police Academy at Borden before deploying overseas, augmented from personnel from all the Army provost formations and units.  Would serve in the rôles of rear-area security defence against infiltration, traffic control in the corps' area of operations and dealing with enemy prisoners taken by the field forces; in this, the battalion would get a special draft of personnel from "Club Ed", the Canadian Forces Service Prison and Detention Barracks in Edmonton.
1 INT BN - Detached from the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command and formed at the Canadian Forces School of Military Intelligence at Kingston before deploying overseas, augmented from personnel from the Canadian Forces Intelligence Regiment based across the country.  The battalion is based around a corps-level military intelligence force that would handle all information gathering and dissemination to applicable authorities, liaising with Allied forces concerning issues on their fronts and would work together with the corps' electronic warfare assets to help jam enemy attempts at probing into local traffic, not that such would be an issue.  The battalion would also team with 1 MP BN to deal with potential human intelligence issues that could harm the corps as a whole, from infiltrators to potential internal issues; in this, they would coordinate with the detachment of the Canadian Forces National Counterintelligence Unit in Ottawa that was sent overseas with CJOC-O.

Now, the effective combat force under direct corps command...

I Canadian Corps Artillery Brigade (I CCAB)
I Canadian Corps Artillery Brigade Headquarters and Signal Squadron (Quartier-Général et Escadron des Transmissions de la Brigade d'Artillerie de Ire Corps Canadien) (I CCAB HQ & SIGS) - Meaford
1st (Target Acquisition) Artillery Regiment, RCA (1re Régiment d'Artillerie [Acquisition d'Objectif], ARC) (1 TA REGT) - Toronto
12th (Missile) Artillery Regiment, RCA (12e Régiment d'Artillerie des Missiles, ARC) (12 MSL REGT) - Fredericton
21st (Missile) Artillery Regiment, RCA (21e Régiment d'Artillerie des Missiles, ARC) (21 MSL REGT) - North Huron
27e Régiment d'Artillerie Antiaérienne, ARC (27th Air Defence Regiment, RCA) (27e RAAA) - Farnham
11 Service Battalion (Forward Support) (11e Bataillon des Services [Soutien d'Advancé]) (11 FS BN) - Meaford

In CORPS 86, an entire artillery DIVISION was supposed to be formed to assist in dealing with the Warsaw Pact.  Well, fortunately, the advance of technology - especially when it comes to how much more potent explosives are, how better they could be delivered to target as well as how better the guns are with the M777 in service - has pretty much allowed the corps artillery to just be a brigade in size, specializing in the areas that a division general support regiment handles.  All the fighting units here were all on the Supplementary Order of Battle before the Shift, being formed from detached troops sent from active regiments to mobilize said regiments.  1 TA REGT was formed after World War Two IOTL and served until 1965; the regiment would coordinate all artillery targeting when more than one division is involved in the shooting.  12 MSL REGT was formed as an old-old school artillery brigade back in 1905, serving until 1965 when it was decided that New Brunswick would only need ONE artillery unit.  21 MSL REGT was formed in the 1936 Militia reforms from personnel of disbanded infantry regiment recruiting from Huron, Perth and Bruce counties in Ontario, serving until 1970.  And 27e RAAA was another old-school artillery brigade formed in 1910, serving until 1970.  To help support the brigade with all supply needs, 11 FS BN was established to serve as the go-between the field regiments and the rear logistics train.

As an aside, Canada didn't have ANY sort of ground-based missile artillery (either guided or unguided) when the Shift occurred.  To act as a stop-gap until tracked vehicles could be built in number and an equivalent to the M270 MLRS could be fielded, a wheeled missile unit was developed between Volkswagen Canada (which absorbed Navistar's Canadian operations after the Shift), Bristol Aerospace, Boeing Canada and Raytheon Canada to create a variation of the M142 HIMARS system, using the Navistar 7400A 6x6 Medium Support Vehicle (Wheeled) cargo trucks as the carrying platform, such launching larger-sized Bristol CRV-7 rockets co-designed by Boeing from a launcher system worked on by Raytheon.  This allows both 12 MSL REGT and 21 MSL REGT to literally deliver a tonne of "steel rain" on target, then quickly get out of Dodge in case some lucky German gunner tracks down where they might be.

Now, combat support forces...

I Canadian Corps Combat Support Brigade (I CCCSB)
I Canadian Corps Combat Support Brigade Headquarters and Signal Squadron (Quartier-Général et Escadron des Transmissions de la Brigade d'Appui au Combat de Ire Corps Canadien)(I CCCSB HQ & SIGS) - Kingston
9e Régiment d'Appui du Génie (9 Engineer Support Regiment) (9e RAG) - Rouyn-Noranda
10 Engineer Support Regiment (10e Régiment d'Appui de Genié) (10 ESR) - Ottawa
21 Electronic Warfare Regiment (21e Régiment de Guerre Électronique) (21 EWR) - Kingston
12 Service Battalion (Forward Support) (12e Bataillon des Services [Soutien d'Advancé]) (12 FS BN) - Kingston

In CORPS 86, there were dedicated engineer and signal BRIGADES assigned to help deal with the Warsaw Pact.  Since the Wehrmacht isn't as advanced as that, there was no need to have such high numbers of sappers and signallers in theatre.  The brigade would effectively be the field version of what happened IOTL when certain elements of the Canadian Army were brought together as the Canadian Combat Support Brigade in April of 2018 to act as a rear-level combat support formation bringing together artillery, engineers, electronic warfare experts and intelligence personnel under one umbrella organization.  Since such a plan dovetailed with what was needed after the Shift, the CCSB concept was made a corps-level asset with the detachment of intelligence personnel off to 1 INT BN.  One of the CCSB's planned units was 21 EW REGT, which was formed after the turn of the Millennium to serve as a dedicated electronic warfare and counter-electronic warfare field unit.  9e RAG and 10 ESR would take the place of 4 ESR after it was detailed to 1st Canadian Mechanized Division; the former would be founded with the help of 34e RGC's squadron in west-central Québec and the latter formed with the help of 33 CER in Ottawa.  Again, 12 FS BN serves as front line support for the brigade.

Now the RCAF's contribution to the corps...

8 Canadian Air Group (8 CAG)
8 Canadian Air Group Headquarters and Communications Squadron (Quartier-Général et Escadron des Transmissions de la 8e Groupe Aérien du Canada) (8 CAG HQ & CS) - Trenton
241 Transport Squadron (241e Escadron de Transport) (241 TS) - Trenton
8 Air Communications and Control Squadron (8e Escadron de transmission et de contrôle [Air]) (8 ACCS) - Trenton
8 Air Movement Squadron (8e Escadron des Mouvements Aériens) (8 AMVS) - Trenton
8 Air Logistics Squadron (8e Escadron des Logistiques Aériennes) (8 ALS) - Trenton

The main hub of corps air assets, 8 Canadian Air Group would be effectively founded as a magnified headquarters of 8 Wing, Canada's airborne transport force based out of Trenton on the coast of Lake Ontario.  Said group would absorb both already-existing and newly-formed squadrons that would assist in things like in-theatre transport, long-range reconnaissance, controlling the air space and supporting all RCAF assets assigned to I CC and its fighting divisions.  The only existing unit of this group is 8 ACCS, which is an asset of 2 Air Expeditionary Wing headquartered in Bagotville; a home-based flight would remain in Trenton to help form new air communications and control squadrons.  241 TS would be established as a detached flight of 426 (Thunderbird) Transport Training Squadron and fly CC-130 Hercules as dedicated fixed wing combat air transport support to the Corps.  8 AMVS would be formed as a detached flight of 2 Air Movements Squadron in Trenton, handling all personnel and cargo movements by air from 1 CC's base camp to other locations on the Continent, with CJOC-O in the United Kingdom and back to Canada.  8 ALS would provided ground transport and supply to all RCAF squadrons under both administrative and operational control/support of 8 CAG, including 1 Wing, 11e Escadre and 7 Wing.

26e Escadre
Quartier-Général de la 26e Escadre (Headquarters 26 Wing) (QG 26e ESCADRE) - Mirabel
171e Escadron de Reconnaissance (171 Reconnaissance Squadron) (171 ERN) - Mirabel
181 Attack Helicopter Squadron (181e Escadron d'Hélicoptères d'Attaque) (181 AHS) - Fort Erie
201e Escadron Tactique d'Hélicoptères (201 Tactical Helicopter Squadron) (201e ETH) - Saint-Hubert
203e Escadron Tactique d'Hélicoptères (203 Tactical Helicopter Squadron) (203e ETH) - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
26e Escadron de Maintenance (Air) (26 Air Maintenance Squadron) (26e EMA) - Mirabel

The combat wing dedicated to supporting I CC will be established at Mirabel, which is the headquarters of Bombardier and Bell Canada.  This wing's primary task is to provide reconnaissance, anti-tank support and corps-level tactical helicopter support whenever directed by the commander of I CC or the commander of 8 CAG.  171e ER would be the RCAF's first dedicated UAV squadron, flying the Bombardier CL-327 Guardian "flying peanut" drones (designated the CU-157 Sentinel in military service) at first until more long-range unmanned aircraft could become available.  181 AHS would become the Air Force's first dedicated anti-tank helicopter squadron, equipped with modified Airbus Canada H145 utility helicopters armed with Bristol CRV7 rocket pods and M134 minigus (designated the CH-172 Lakota) until a specifically designed attack helicopter on the veins of the Bell AH-1 Cobra comes along.  201e ETH and 203e ETH will fly newly-constructed CH-146 Griffons in both the tactical transport and medical evacuation rôles.  And 23e EMA will be the wing's maintenance formation, also supporting 241 TS when required.

Now, the health service forces...

I Canadian Corps Health Services Brigade (I CCHSB)
I Canadian Corps Health Services Brigade Headquarters and Signal Squadron (Quartier-Général et Escadron des Transmissions de la Brigade des Services de Santé de Ire Corps Canadien) (I CCHSB HQ & SIGS) - Toronto
8e Hôpital de Campagne Canadien (Soutien au Combat) (8 Canadian Field Hospital [Combat Support]) (8e HCC) - Montréal
9 Canadian Field Hospital (Combat Support) (9e Hôpital de Campagne Canadien [Soutien au Combat]) (9 CFH) - Toronto
10 Health Services Regiment (General Support) (10e Régiment des Services de Santé [Appui General]) (10 HSR) - Toronto
11e Régiment de Services de Santé (Soutien au Combat) (11 Health Services Regiment [Combat Support]) (11e RSS) - Montréal
12e Régiment de Services Dentaires (12 Dental Services Regiment) (12e RSD) - Montréal
13 Service Battalion (Forward Support) (13e Bataillon des Services [Soutien d'Advancé]) (13 FS BN) - Toronto

The Canadian Forces Health Services Group would provide two combat support hospitals (similar to the United States Army's combat support hospital or older MASH concept) to support the division field hospitals, plus two health services regiments and one dental service regiment with a forward support logistics and RCEME battalion.  10 HSR would have health services laboratory groups, preventative medical groups (remember the issue of the difference of human immunity between up-timers and down-timers) and mobile aide stations that could assist civilian populations stranded in the corps' zone of operations.  11e RSS would team with 201e ETH and 203e ETH to handle all casualty transport support from the front lines, plus also have limited emergency care companies that could handle sudden issues.  And 12e RSD would be the corps' main unit from the Royal Canadian Dental Corps, responsible for all dental hygiene and surgical issues in I CC.

And finally...

Brigade du Soutien Opérationnel de I Corps Canadien (BSOC I CC)
Quartier-Général et Escadron des Transmissions de la Brigade du Soutien Opérationnel de Ire Corps Canadien (I Canadian Corps Operational Support Brigade Headquarters and Signal Squadron) (QGET BSOC I CC) - Montréal
1st Administration Battalion (1re Bataillon d'Administration) (1 ADM BN) - Ottawa
2e Bataillon des Transports (2 Transport Battalion) (2e BON TRANS) - Québec
4e Régiment d'Atelier (4 Workshop Battalion) (4e R ATEL) - Montréal
5e Bataillon d'Approvisionnement (5 Supply Battalion) (5e BON APPRO) - Moncton
1re Bataillon des Services (Appui Général) (1 Service Battalion [General Support]) (1re BSAG) - Montréal

In essence, this is a reflection of the division-level CDJOSGs, but magnified to a brigade in size; in CORPS 86, the Corps Support Command was a DIVISION in size.  This would have logistics and RCEME personnel handling all the combat service support needs.  1 ADM BN would be in charge of human and financial resources, plus have the corps main post office hub.  2e BON TRANS will handle all ground transport issues, coordinating with 8 AMVS when things come or go by air.  4e R ATEL will be the in-theatre counterpart of the Materiel Group's land vehicle rebuilding-and-refurbishment facility, 202 Workshop Depot in Montréal, handling all major equipment and weapon repairs that can't be handled by the division.  5e BON APPRO would be the corps' main supply team for everything the corps needs.  And 1re BSAG would handle all inter-brigade supply needs, plus also support the corps troops directly responding to HQ I CC.

Next:  The RCAF in theatre, 3 Canadian Air Division...!

Now, as been explained before, the Canadian Army had, since shortly after the end of the Cold War, concentrated more on the battalion battle group concept.  Here, a battalion of the RCR, the PPCLI or le R22eR would be matched to a loaned armoured squadron, artillery battery, engineer squadron and support forces to form a light-regimental sized group which could be inserted into places such as Bosnia or Afghanistan to both show the country's support for international moves to contain terrorists and help rebuild nations shattered by civil wars and also gain necessary experience in the "three block war" that was seen as the vogue for land operations in the wake of the fall of the USSR in 1991.

Now, combat support forces...

I Canadian Corps Combat Support Brigade (I CCCSB)

Now the RCAF's contribution to the corps...

8 Canadian Air Group (8 CAG)
8 Canadian Air Group Headquarters and Communications Squadron (Quartier-Général et Escadron des Transmissions de la 8e Groupe Aérien du Canada) (8 CAG HQ & CS) - Trenton

The combat wing dedicated to supporting I CC will be established at Mirabel, which is the headquarters of Bombardier and Bell Canada.  This wing's primary task is to provide reconnaissance, anti-tank support and corps-level tactical helicopter support whenever directed by the commander of I CC or the commander of 8 CAG.  171e ER would be the RCAF's first dedicated UAV squadron, flying the Bombardier CL-327 Guardian "flying peanut" drones (designated the CV-157 Sentinel in military service) at first until more long-range unmanned aircraft could become available.  181 AHS would become the Air Force's first dedicated anti-tank helicopter squadron, equipped with modified Airbus Canada H145 utility helicopters armed with Bristol CRV7 rocket pods and M134 minigus (designated the CH-172 Lakota) until a specifically designed attack helicopter on the veins of the Bell AH-1 Cobra comes along.  201e ETH and 203e ETH will fly newly-constructed CH-146 Griffons in both the tactical transport and medical evacuation rôles.  And 23e EMA will be the wing's maintenance formation, also supporting 241 TS when required.

Now, the health service forces...

I Canadian Corps Health Services Brigade (I CCHSB)
I Canadian Corps Health Services Brigade Headquarters and Signal Squadron (Quartier-Général et Escadron des Transmissions de la Brigade des Services de Santé de Ire Corps Canadien) (I CCHSB HQ & SIGS) - Toronto
8e Hôpital de Campagne Canadien (Soutien au Combat) (8 Canadian Field Hospital [Combat Support]) (8e HCC) - Montréal
9 Canadian Field Hospital (Combat Support) (9e Hôpital de Campagne Canadien [Soutien au Combat]) (9 CFH) - Toronto
10 Health Services Regiment (General Support) (10e Régiment des Services de Santé [Appui General]) (10 HSR) - Toronto
11e Régiment de Services de Santé (Soutien au Combat) (11 Health Services Regiment [Combat Support]) (11e RSS) - Montréal
12e Régiment de Services Dentaires (12 Dental Services Regiment) (12e RSD) - Montréal
13 Service Battalion (Forward Support) (13e Bataillon des Services [Soutien d'Advancé]) (13 FS BN) - Toronto

The Canadian Forces Health Services Group would provide two combat support hospitals (similar to the United States Army's combat support hospital or older MASH concept) to support the division field hospitals, plus two health services regiments and one dental service regiment with a forward support logistics and RCEME battalion.  10 HSR would have health services laboratory groups, preventative medical groups (remember the issue of the difference of human immunity between up-timers and down-timers) and mobile aide stations that could assist civilian populations stranded in the corps' zone of operations.  11e RSS would team with 201e ETH and 203e ETH to handle all casualty transport support from the front lines, plus also have limited emergency care companies that could handle sudden issues.  And 12e RSD would be the corps' main unit from the Royal Canadian Dental Corps, responsible for all dental hygiene and surgical issues in I CC.

And finally...

Brigade du Soutien Opérationnel de I Corps Canadien (BSOC I CC)
Quartier-Général et Escadron des Transmissions de la Brigade du Soutien Opérationnel de Ire Corps Canadien (I Canadian Corps Operational Support Brigade Headquarters and Signal Squadron) (QGET BSOC I CC) - Montréal
1st Administration Battalion (1re Bataillon d'Administration) (1 ADM BN) - Ottawa
2e Bataillon des Transports (2 Transport Battalion) (2e BON TRANS) - Québec
4e Régiment d'Atelier (4 Workshop Battalion) (4e R ATEL) - Montréal
5e Bataillon d'Approvisionnement (5 Supply Battalion) (5e BON APPRO) - Moncton
1re Bataillon des Services (Appui Général) (1 Service Battalion [General Support]) (1re BSAG) - Montréal

In essence, this is a reflection of the division-level CDJOSGs, but magnified to a brigade in size; in CORPS 86, the Corps Support Command was a DIVISION in size.  This would have logistics and RCEME personnel handling all the combat service support needs.  1 ADM BN would be in charge of human and financial resources, plus have the corps main post office hub.  2e BON TRANS will handle all ground transport issues, coordinating with 8 AMVS when things come or go by air.  4e R ATEL will be the in-theatre counterpart of the Materiel Group's land vehicle rebuilding-and-refurbishment facility, 202 Workshop Depot in Montréal, handling all major equipment and weapon repairs that can't be handled by the division.  5e BON APPRO would be the corps' main supply team for everything the corps needs.  And 1re BSAG would handle all inter-brigade supply needs, plus also support the corps troops directly responding to HQ I CC.

Next:  The RCAF in theatre, 3 Canadian Air Division...!

First, great Orbat pyeknu.

Second, can we assume the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command has also grown in size.

[redrobin65]

@lordroel yes, it has. CSOR in particular. It would be difficult to do an ORBAT for them, because the exact sub-units are classified.

We do know that the Canadian Special Operations Regiment is a Battalion in size, i would assume it has been enlarge to at least 4 ore more with one French speaking Battalion.

The information when searching using Google is that Joint Task Force 2 is also the size of a Battalion, but then again it is as big as you want it to be redrobin65 .

I often rely on this one as well.  A slowly-growing information hub about the Canadian Army and Militia put together by a veteran of the Calgary Highlanders.

[pyeknu]

For everyone's information, here's how I number the new Royal Canadian Air Force squadrons in the various ORBATs I'm doing for redrobin65:

When I did the first draft for these ORBATs over the last year, I basically included not only the squadrons of 1 Wing (the Army support tactical aviation group) but disbanded squadrons, both recently disbanded and the squadrons temporarily raised for service in World War One IOTL.  However, when I moved here and I was asked to post those ORBATs again, I realized that there would be no way that the RCAF would allow their storied 400-series squadrons to be all taken by the Canadian Army when they needed new flying squadrons to reinforce units in the Air Force.

Thus, it was decided that new squadron numbers from 100-299 would be allocated to Army tactical support while 300-399 would be set aside for "temporary" air force flying support squadrons and the decommissioned squadrons from 400-450 (the so-called "Article XV Squadrons" IOTL) would be recommissioned into new flying units to augment the combat forces of 1 Canadian Air Division as well as serve as potential replacement squadrons whenever combat in Europe forces squadrons temporarily assigned to 3 Canadian Air Division (Expeditionary) - in other words, the RCAF's command formation overseas under the CJOC-O/First Canadian Army - have to come home due to too much equipment casualties or personnel exhaustion that would effectively render a squadron unable to perform its duties.

Thus, the commanders of the Canadian Army - liaising with the home-based elements of 1 Wing in Kingston - decided to break down their squadron allocations as follows:

100-149 Brigade Tactical/Attack Helicopter Squadrons
(THS)
Squadrons flying the Bell CH-146 Griffon in a tactical support role to a ground brigade.  The last two numbers in the squadron match the brigade's number.

150-169 Division Tactical Transport Helicopter Squadrons
(TTHS)
Squadrons flying the Boeing CH-147 Chinhook in a medium tactical transport role, normally assigned to a division air wing.  The last number matches the division's number.

170-179 Corps/Division Reconnaissance Squadrons
(RNS)
Squadrons flying the Bombardier CU-157 Sentinel reconnaissance drone in a support role to either I Canadian Corps or II Canadian Corps; additional squadrons would be formed to serve in the air groups assigned to 7th Canadian Division (Airmobile) and 8e Division du Canada (Aéromobile).  The last number matches the corps or division number.

180-189 Corps Attack Helicopter Squadrons
(AHS)
Squadrons flying the Airbus CH-172 Lakota attack helicopter in a support role to either I Canadian Corps or II Canadian Corps.  The last number matches the division number.

190-199 Airmobile/Airborne Brigade Attack Helicopter Squadrons
(AHS)
Squadrons flying the Airbus CH-172 Lakota attack helicopter in a support role to either an airborne or airmobile light brigade assigned to either 7th Division or 8e Division.  The last numbers will match the brigade numbers.

200-209 Corps Tactical Helicopter Squadrons
(THS)
Squadrons flying the Bell CH-146 Griffon in a tactical support role to either I Canadian Corps or II Canadian Corps.

210-219 Air Group Tactical Helicopter Squadrons
(THS)
Squadrons flying the Bell CH-146 Griffon in a tactical support role assigned to the air groups mated with 7th Division or 8e Division.

220-239 Airmobile/Airborne Brigade Tactical Helicopter Squadrons
(THS)
Squadrons flying the Bell CH-146 Griffon in a tactical support role in air wings matched to the airborne or airmobile brigades assigned to either 7th Division or 8e Division.

240-249 Corps Transport Squadron
(TS)
Squadrons flying the Lockheed CC-130 Hercules in a tactical fixed wing transport support role to either I Canadian Corps or II Canadian Corps.

Note:  There will be the exceptions to the above standards.  They will be pointed out.

Dude, that’s no ORBAT. It’s just a guide.

Seems there is already a Canadair CL-227 Sentinel out there.

Yes, but the name was carried over to the CL-357; the design was originally called the "Guardian".
