Canadian Rangers

The Canadian Rangers are a special forces unit within the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) that operates in the country's Arctic regions. Established in 1957, they were initially formed to support the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in maintaining law and order in the North. The unit has undergone significant changes over the years, with its primary focus shifting from policing to military operations. Recently, the Canadian Rangers have been making headlines due to their deployment in the Arctic, where they are conducting exercises and patrols in sub-zero temperatures. This has raised concerns about the impact of climate change on the region and the CAF's ability to adapt to new challenges. The recent news articles highlight the unit's efforts to operate in extreme conditions, with BBC reporters documenting their journey across the Arctic terrain.
