What is JTF 2 training like?
11 – JTF 2 is comprised of assaulters and supporting members, all of whom are Canadian Forces personnel. All members are carefully screened for service in the various elements that comprise JTF 2. It is, however, the Special Operations Assaulters who undergo the most intense selection and training for eventual service in the fighting arm of the unit. The standards established for selection and employment with JTF 2 are scientifically designed and validated at the Canadian Forces Dwyer Hill Training Centre in order to ensure that the members selected will be capable of accomplishing all tasks assigned to the unit. These standards are not just limited to physical abilities. High standards are also required for professional skill sets, integrity, psychological profile, mental aptitude, discipline, and maturity. These standards are not just used for selecting new members, they are maintained throughout the unit and are ingrained in the JTF 2 ethos.
