Canadian Special Operations Forces (SOF) will be heading to Iraq to provide advisory training and assistance to forces engage in the battle against the Islamic State (IS).  This kind of action is exactly what SOF is meant to do; have a force multiplication effect where a few highly trained operators have a larger strategic impact on the battle zone.  According to a press release from the Prime Ministers office these Canadians will be stationed in Iraq's north.

Canadian Special Forces have earned a strong reputation for professionalism and effectiveness; there is no doubt that they will continue to bring honour to the Canadian Armed Forces through their commitment to forwarding Canadian and allied interests abroad.
