Bataillon actif
The active battalion of the CGG has a primary role to produce trained infanteers for our role in supporting domestic and foreign NATO and United Nations missions as well as providing a Company strength (100 pers) for ceremonial duties. The Grenadier soldiers we produce must be of quality appropriate to a Foot Guards Regiment. Our official DND website is located ici.
MESSAGE FROM THE Lieutenant Colonel Commanding
C’est un privilège et un honneur de commander les Canadian Grenadier Guards, une unité d’infanterie et le régiment le plus ancien du Canada. Le contexte et la complexité dans lesquels nous opérons continuent de changer. Dans cette situation, le métier de soldat est exigeant, mais la compétence de nos membres en matière d’entraînement à temps partiel et à temps plein et leur détermination inébranlable à représenter nos intérêts nationaux, tant au pays qu’à l’étranger, résistent à l’épreuve du temps. Notre réputation de professionnalisme est forgée à travers l’histoire par tous ceux du Régiment qui ont participé aux opérations et ont fièrement accompli des fonctions publiques lors des défilés cérémoniaux. Tout émane de cette réalité et sous-tend notre polyvalence inhérente pour entreprendre et fournir l’excellence opérationnelle dans un éventail extrêmement large de tâches.
