Canadian Forces Training Command was an early component of the Canadian Forces after unification of the military in 1968. It was led by a two-star general.[1]
This command was charged with training of pilots for the entire Canadian Forces after unification. It was eliminated in the simplification of the CF structure in 1975 and now under command of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Training is assigned to individual Squadrons of the RCAF.
