The '''5th Canadian Division''' is a formation of the [[Canadian Army]] responsible for the command and mobilization of most army units in the provinces of [[New Brunswick]], [[Nova Scotia]], [[Prince Edward Island]] and [[Newfoundland and Labrador]]; as well as some units in [[Kingston, Ontario]]. The division is recognized by the distinctive maroon patch worn on the sleeve of its soldiers.

It was first created as a formation of the [[Canadian Expeditionary Force]] during the [[First World War]]. It was stood down during the war only to be reactivated through the renaming from '1st Canadian Armoured Division' to the '''5th Canadian (Armoured) Division''' during the [[Second World War]]. It was stood down following demobilization and was again reactivated in 2013 with the renaming of the former Land Force Area Atlantic.

==First World War==
The 5th Canadian Division of the [[Canadian Corps]] was formed during [[World War I]] under [[Major-General]] [[Garnet Burk Hughes]]. The 5th began assembling in [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in February, 1917, but was broken up in February 1918 before it was fully formed. The Division adopted a coloured formation patch identical in design to that worn by the four combatant divisions of the Canadian Corps. Its men were used as reinforcements for the other four Canadian divisions, helping to maintain the over-strength Divisions of 22,000–25,000 with more than 100,000 men total.{{Citation needed|date=November 2008}} It was reactivated in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/news-nouvelles/news-nouvelles-eng.asp?id=4880 |title=Restoring the Canadian Army's historical identity |access-date=2013-07-09 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130714110545/http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/news-nouvelles/news-nouvelles-eng.asp?id=4880 |archive-date=July 14, 2013 }}</ref>

==Second World War==
[[File:5th Canadian Armoured Division formation sign.png|thumb|right|[[Formation patch]] used to identify vehicles of the 5th Canadian (Armoured) Division during the Second World War.]]
The '''5th Canadian (Armoured) Division''' was a [[Canadians|Canadian]] division during [[World War II]]. Following its redesignation from '''1st Canadian Armoured Division''', the bulk proceeded overseas in one main convoy, arriving in the United Kingdom at the end of November 1941.

The 5th Canadian (Armoured) Division spent two years of the war uneventfully in the United Kingdom, before finally transferring to the [[Mediterranean and Middle East theatre of World War II|Mediterranean theatre]] in November 1943 to join the [[1st Canadian Division|1st Canadian Infantry Division]] as part of [[I Canadian Corps]], under command of the [[Eighth Army (United Kingdom)|British Eighth Army]]. The division moved without its tanks and vehicles, inheriting heavily used equipment as a legacy from the veteran [[7th Armoured Division (United Kingdom)|British 7th Armoured Division]] ("''The Desert Rats''") who they relieved on the [[Italian campaign (World War II)|Italian Front]]. The majority of the vehicles were completely worn out, having first been issued in [[North African campaign|North Africa]] or were two-wheel drive–useless in Italy. It took several months for the division to be fully equipped with new vehicles, including [[M4 Sherman]]s. Only the [[11th Canadian Infantry Brigade]] was committed prior to 31 January 1944.<ref name="DDD_208-209">Dancocks p208-209</ref>

The 5th Armoured took part in the Italian Campaign until the end of 1944, seeing notable action on the [[Hitler Line]] after the [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] [[Battle of Monte Cassino#Hitler Line|breakthrough at Cassino]] in May 1944 and also during ''Operation Olive'' on the [[Gothic Line]] in August 1944. During the latter battle its single infantry brigade was augmented by a second, which was raised using reinforcements and units serving in other roles. Among them was the [[4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards]]–1st Canadian Division's armoured reconnaissance regiment. As with other Allied armoured divisions in the Mediterranean, local resources were used to establish an additional infantry brigade, the [[12th Infantry Brigade (Canada)|12th Canadian Infantry Brigade]]. Based on the colour of its shoulder patch, the division became known as the "Mighty Maroon Machine".<ref>Mark Zuehlke, ''The Liri Valley: Canada's World War II Breakthrough to Rome'', Douglas & McIntyre Ltd., Vancouver, 2003, p 58.</ref>

In January 1945, the division, together with the 1st Canadian Infantry Division, as part of [[Operation Goldflake]], moved by truck, train, and naval transport to [[Belgium]] via [[Livorno]] and [[Marseille]]. After arriving on the [[Western Front (World War II)|Western Front]], it disbanded the 12th Brigade, and re-equipped to join the [[First Canadian Army]] in time to participate in the [[Western Allied invasion of Germany|final advance into Germany]].

In April 1945, the [[Irish Regiment of Canada]] was assigned to Operation Cleanser in the [[Netherlands]]. They had to liberate the route from [[Arnhem]] to [[Harderwijk]]. This unexpectedly resulted in a fierce fight at the [[Battle of Otterlo]].

'''Land Force Atlantic Area''' (LFAA) was created on 1 September 1991, taking command of what was previously the militia areas and the Regular Force Army units and formations in Atlantic Canada.  At that point in time, the Militia Areas ceased to exist, and the subordinate Militia Districts were reorganised.<ref name="Domestic Military Organization 1900-1999">{{cite web|title=Domestic Military Organization 1900–1999|publisher=Canadian Soldiers.com|date=22 February 2013|url=http://www.canadiansoldiers.com/organization/districts.htm}} and http://forums.army.ca/forums/index.php?topic=3223.0</ref> Later that decade, the reserve force districts were again reorganized into two Canadian Brigade Groups. LFAA was the formation responsible for [[Canadian Army]] operations in the Canadian provinces of [[New Brunswick]], [[Newfoundland and Labrador]], [[Nova Scotia]], and [[Prince Edward Island]] and was headquartered at Canadian Forces Base Halifax.

===Organization of LFAA (2010)===
'''Regular Force'''
* 2nd Battalion, [[The Royal Canadian Regiment]] : Oromocto (transferred to command of 2 CMBG in 2012)
* 4 Air Defence Regiment, RCA : [[Oromocto]], New Brunswick (Transformed into [[4th Artillery Regiment (General Support), RCA]] in 2013)
* [[4 Engineer Support Regiment]] : Oromocto
* [[3 Military Police Unit]] : [[Halifax Regional Municipality|Halifax, Nova Scotia]]
* LFAA Training Centre : Oromocto
* Canadian Forces Base Gagetown : [[Arcadia, New Brunswick]]

'''Reserve Force'''
* [[36 Canadian Brigade Group]]
* [[37 Canadian Brigade Group]]
* 5 Canadian Ranger Patrol Group: [[Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador|Gander, Newfoundland]]
* 3 Intelligence Company: Halifax, Nova Scotia

== 5th Canadian Division Re-Activation ==
In 2013, LFAA was re-designated the 5th Canadian Division and inherited the wartime heritage of the formation. The division continues to be headquartered at [[CFB Halifax]] and commands most Canadian Army units in the [[Atlantic provinces]].
