Canadian Military Models Hypothetical U.S. Invasion Scenario Using Insurgency Tactics
By
Teever
A baker's-dozen of insight crammed into one ring.
Summary
The Canadian Armed Forces have developed a hypothetical military model of a U.S. invasion of Canada, marking the first such exercise in a century. The model envisions Canada employing insurgency tactics similar to those used by Afghan mujahedeen against Soviet and later U.S. forces. While the scenario is purely conceptual and considered highly unlikely by officials and experts, it represents a theoretical framework for understanding potential defense strategies. The modeling exercise acknowledges Canada's status as a NATO member and U.S. partner in continental air defense while exploring unconventional response scenarios.
