In 2011, the MND announced that Maritime Command and Air Command would be renamed back to the RCN and RCAF. Land Force Command was also restored to its historic Canadian Army (CA) identity. Since the Canadian Army has been restored, non-traditional names like ‘Land’ or ‘Branch’ or ‘Area’ have reverted to traditional Canadian Army names like ‘Corps’ and ‘Division’.

These changes have not been interpreted rigidly in our Branch. See a leeter co-signed by the Chief Military Engineer and the Senior RCE officer in February 2015 at http://cmea-agmc.ca/cme-branch-unity
