Talk:Canadian Forces base

Untitled
Isnt there a Canadian Forces Base called CFB Connaught or just Connaught ranges? As an ex-Air Cadet from 632 Squadron Pheonix-Telesat, we used ( and im sure they still do), go to Connaught ranges to have our bush week-end, to sleep and have activities during a whole week-end on the base, and follow some of the routines: wake up bright and early ( maybe too early for some of us), and go to the mess for meals and/or have box lunches and sometimes ration packs.

I'm not sure though since its not my specialty, knowing the different Candian Forces Bases, but I know I've been there many times, for bush, and rifle pratice.

Does anyone else have an idea of what im taling? lol

I believe Connaught is just a ACSTC and not a CFB. I've looked around and there is no such thing as CFB. Connaught as it's not a military base nor is it a lodger unit to any military base. Yep Connaught is still a summer training centre in use with the Army Cadets. (CI, CLI, Basic, Para (Army Cadet Parachutist Course-For Phase One and Two, Phase 3 takes place at the Army Airborne School in Trenton [For those who went to Trenton it's the large barrack right infront of the mess hall, and vistor's quarters]) and PERT). Just a suggestion maybe we could make a list of all the Area Support Units in Canada? (Moss Park Armoury, Downsview)

Since unification in 1968 all "real property" of the Canadian Armed Forces, including Cadet Camps, Rifle Ranges, and a host of other "odd-n-sods" were amalgamated into the Canadian Forces Base system. Generally this meant that there was ONE large base for a geographic area and all property of the former services became the responsibility of that one CFB. Spartan26 (talk) 11:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Assessment
Assessed as NA because this should probably be a list.--Looper5920 06:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. The list should also ONLY refer to Canadian Forces Bases. Predecessor Barracks, Stations, etc. should be listed under their respective former services. Spartan26 (talk) 11:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Another base
Was there not a base in France somewhere (air force, I think), near the German border? My father's family lived there at some point, and I was surprised to see it not in the list, assuming it exists. 24.222.173.28 19:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, originally the RCAF had two bases in France, RCAF Station Marville (No. 1 Wing) and RCAF Station Grostenquin (No. 2 Wing), and and additional base in West Germany, RCAF Station Zweibrücken (No. 3 Wing). For various reasons they were closed in the 1960s. Spartan26 (talk) 11:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)


 * What about bases that were never called CFBs? Although never labelled as "CFBs", these three, IMO, should be included in the article.-- BC talk to me 05:51, 26 August 2019 (UTC)


 * We actually do have a number of those listed already, like CFD Dundurn. If there are others missing they can be added. Ahunt (talk) 13:00, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Garrison Petawawa Should be added in Ontario please. I don't know the official name. Been there. Don't know the details. How to write or introduce it properly. Not confident in writing it out or adding it. Live near by. 107.190.10.79 (talk) 00:16, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Already listed on the page: CFB Petawawa. - Ahunt (talk) 02:14, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
