Leadmark spearheads Canada's naval strategy for 2020
Article Abstract:
Canada's new naval strategy, dubbed Leadmark, is for a highly adaptable and flexible maritime force that will provide the country with various relevant policy options across a continuum of domestic and international contingencies. The navy will produce combat forces that are responsive, rapidly deployable, sustainable, versatile, lethal and survivable. These Canadian forces will be self-sufficient and be able to integrate into a joint US or multinational forces anywhere in the world.
