CanCom, you're a gentleman and a scholar thanks kindly for the links.

Just curious what happened to JTF-1??

JTF-1 also known just as JTF was created in 1991 to help fight in the gulf war but was disbaned after the war in 1991. Then in 1993 JTF-2 took over the position of the RCMP's SERT team

Not only did it take over from the RCMP SERT, it has greatly expanded the role from not only Domestic counter terrorism, but green OPs overseas. The RCMP SERT was just a really kick ass swat team. JTF2 is a Tier 1 Special Operations Force. Along side with the SAS, Delta and Seal Team 6

you must have to kick someone pretty hard in the femur to break their hip. i want to learn!!

seems 3 JTF-2 members are injured in Afghanistan!

how did that happen?

3 Canadian soldiers wounded in firefight
Elite JTF2 troops injured in attack in Afghanistan

OTTAWA—Three of Canada's special forces soldiers have been wounded in fierce firefights that killed more than a dozen insurgents in southern Afghanistan this week.
There are reports that one of the soldiers, a member of the secretive unit known as Joint Task Force 2, may have been seriously injured. He has been evacuated to Germany for medical treatment and is listed in stable condition. It's believed to be the first time that JTF2 soldiers have been injured during their operations in Afghanistan.
In a statement released yesterday, Canadian defence officials were tight-lipped, saying only that one soldier was in hospital and two others were treated for their injuries and returned to their unit after they were "recently wounded while conducting operations.
"For reasons of operational security and for the safety of those Canadian special operations forces members and their families, no other information on this incident or on the special operations being conducted in Afghanistan will be released," the statement said.
However, it's believed the elite Canadian soldiers were injured early this week during an offensive in a small village north of Kandahar against insurgents believed responsible for a number of bomb attacks in the country's southern region, once a hotbed of Taliban extremism and still a pocket of resistance.
According to American military officials, 13 "enemy" fighters were killed in an attack Sunday, which left three Afghan, three American, and two other coalition soldiers wounded.
One of the coalition troops was "seriously wounded" and was evacuated to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where he's reportedly in stable condition. The other soldiers were treated and released, officials said.
On Tuesday, an Afghan-U.S. patrol came under fire from a ridgline northwest of Tarin Kowt.

"This is a resounding victory for Afghan forces and for the Afghan people," said U.S. Brig.-Gen. Jack Sterling Jr., deputy commanding general of the region. "We located and closed with the enemies of this nation and, as we have said we would in the past, brought them to justice."
Canadian defence officials refused to comment whether the evacuated soldier was an injured JTF2 soldier.
A spokeswoman for Defence Minister Bill Graham said Canadians have been warned the Afghanistan deployment is high-risk.
"There are significant risks in these missions but these troops are tremendously skilled and Canadians can be proud of what they do," said Renée Filiatrault.
The lack of details angered Steve Staples, of the Polaris Institute, who called Graham and other officials to provide more information, especially since they had warned Canadians to brace for danger, even casualties, as troops step up operations in the Kandahar region.
"It sounds like we came very close to losing a soldier here," Staples said in an interview.
"Soldiers' lives are being put at risk. We need to know what we're asking them to do," he said. "How many of these insurgents did we kill or wound? If we took prisoners ... where are those prisoners right now? When did all this happen?"
In September, the defence department suggested that JTF2 soldiers had killed insurgents during clashes. "We have not suffered any casualties at this point but casualties have occurred on the other side," Brig.-Gen Mike Ward, head of defence operations, said at the time. He also revealed that JTF2 troops have nabbed insurgent leaders during missions in the country.
