Only 61 percent of the Canadian Armed Forces is considered ready for operations, a 10 percent dip since last year, according to recent military data.
The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) says it must fix the “foundation” of its decades-long readiness challenges so it can be ready to respond to an “increasingly challenging international security environment.”
The CAF is striving to reach 90 percent readiness by March 2025, it said in its 2024–2025 department plan released Feb. 27.
