How would you expand a Canadian marine force into a division?
Short answerThe division would have three independent amphibious brigades and its own logistics, reconnaissance, artillery, and potentially aviation.
NotesThe proposed division has three self-sufficient amphibious strike brigades, each able to deploy with its own essential support. A commando logistics structure would provide brigade-level elements while retaining a divisional battalion for higher-level needs. The division would also own reconnaissance, artillery, and potentially aviation instead of depending on improvised attachments. This force-of-forces design aims to let a commando hold a larger enemy formation while the division remains capable of independent expeditionary action.
