Extract

Besides defense, a military organization can protect a country in two ways: (1) Ensure the integrity of a country despite internal disasters and disturbances; military aid can have a humanitarian role. (2) International responsibilities.

The Canadian Forces participate in peacekeeping and disaster relief all over the globe. This international military job results in increased prestige for Canada and security for Canadians.
