Canadian Joint Task Force 2 CANSOF [SMA]

Special Operation Forces Faction mod [SFF] that adds the Canadian JTF-2 from CANSOF to Arma 3. It is mostly based on domestic (within Canada itself) deployments of JTF-2 between 2010 and late 2016, but also includes units in other camo patterns for other environments.

Historical Info-

JTF-2 is one of the more recently formed SOF groups, being established in 1993 after the disbandment of the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) Special Emergency Response Team, and instead forming a specialist unit within the Canadian Army.
Initial members were drawn from the Airbourne and Light infantry units, and JTF-2's first major missions took place in Afghanistan, notably during Operation Anaconda in 2002. JTF-2 forces have been deployed to the Afghanistan and Iraq area since then, up until the modern day. They are known to have worked with the U.S. Navy SEALs, the SAS and SBS in Libya, NZSAS ,the German KSK, Norwegian SOF, and ODA.

The Faction-

The JTF-2 in the faction are based mainly on domestic (within Canada) and international Afghanistan deployments from 2009 onwards. They are equipped with green furniture M4A1 Carbines (as a C8 stand-in) as their standard weapon, with small numbers of Daniel Defence Mk18 Carbines and supported by HK417's and SCAR-H's for 7.62 rifles. Standard launcher is the AT4 and the autorifleman carries a Minimi/SAW.

The JTF-2 uniform is Canadian CADPAT (Temperate Version) with Tan equipment, with small amounts of Multicam used in conjunction for some units.

Specialist Elements-

CANSOF specialist units are a dedicated Sniper Team, armed with a 338. Lapua Magnum and a HK417 for the spotter, and a Multicam equipped 'Recon' element, who are fully supressed and given Multicam uniforms, more suitable for desert fighting when compared to the CADPAT equipped main force.

A fireteam with an intergrated demolitions expert is also included, originally planned to be a small Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit (CJIRU) Chemical Warfare team, but due to the lack of easily functional chemical warfare and gas masks in A3 they were converted into a demolitions team.

Supports-

A command and HQ element with an officer is part of the faction.

Faction has full Editor, Zeus, Task Force Radio and ALiVE support (faction name CAN ) Also supports ACE3 Medical system. JTF-2 are a BLUFOR faction.
