Canada Command (CANADACOM) (in French : Commandement Canada or COMCANADA) is one of the seven commands of the Canadian Forces. Stood up on February 1, 2006, it is responsible for all domestic operations and national security missions; as an operational command, it works closely with the environment commands (the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force) as well as with the other operational commands (Canadian Special Operations Forces Command, Canadian Expeditionary Force Command and Canadian Operational Support Command).
CANADACOM also maintains a close relationship with its American counterpart, the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), and contributes to NORAD with 1 Canadian Air Division of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
