Join Task Force two - JTF2
Posted: chaaban on Feb 26 | Canadian Military Training
I recently discovered That Canada have a Special Force (Not The SWAT Team) but Special Force for The ARMY , It’s Called The Join Task Force Two (JTF2) .
The term “joint task force” is used for any force made up of two or more elements of the Canadian Forces.
The Join Task Force Two is like The S.A.S (Special Air Service Regiment (SAS)) a very well trained Force .
If you want to get an Idea what is the S.A.S … Check this video (59 minutes)
Back to the Canadian Join Task Force two (JTF2) :
There Main mission is to provide Canada a force capable of rendering armed assistance in the resolution of an issue or a potential issue that affects national security , even if there main role is Counter-Terrorism they can be assigned to any type of military operations, which include, but are not limited to, surveillance, security advice and close personal protection .
To Join The Join Task Force Two (JTF2) in general you have to be in the ARMY , (2 Year as Regular or 3 years As Reservist ) .
And The Contract is between 4 and 6 years .
Physical Test for the Join Task Force 2
You will need to do :
- 40 Push-ups (Minimum - no rest)
- 40 Sit-ups (Minimum in 1 mn)
- 5 pull-ups
- Bench press (65 kg min)
- Run 1.5 mile (2,4 km) in 9 mn
For the Army we had to do the same but instead of 40 .. it was 20 .
There is two kind of Personnel : Special Operations Assaulters (SOA) & Support Personnel (SP) and Specialists
Special Operations Assaulter : personnel who are directly employed in the tactical aspects of special operations and other high value tasks .
Support Personnel (SP) and Specialists : personnel who are selected from Regular and Reserve Force MOCs to fulfil JTF 2 requirements in Staff Officer, support, and specialist positions.

You probably should not go to where your not wanted
Yes … this is what i dont like .
Being in the Army as a Regular or as JTF2 … it’s like selling your self .
You don’t have control on your life .
It’s the only reason why i joined as a reservist in the Canadian Army .
Wow, this is along the level of our(american) D forces. Anyway infantry isnt really for me, I freaking hate walking around with a damn pack with 40+ pounds in it for the whole day. MI all the way HOOAH!
Yes the JTF2 are very advanced in Military training , i only joined the army because i love the infantry .
It’s very hard but you get used to it after a while
You don’t really know what you are talking about…. The “Physical Test for the Join Task Force 2″ are what you said. But you see, those are the minimum requirements. By doing the minimum requirements you wont even get admitted to do the training to become JTF2. JTF2 works with a point system. You need a minimum of 75 points on the physical test which includes a 1.5 mile run, push ups, sit ups, pull ups, and bench press.
If you do what Chaban said on the physical test, you will get 55 points. Your 20 points short. Even if you get 75 points, your not guarantee to qualify.
If you have question, email me or something.
Hello Philippe Biha Methot ,
Thank’s for your comment regarding JTF2 , i dont see any where on my post where i say that you should only do the requirment …
It’s known in the JTF2 that they only take the best , it’s not like in the Reserve or Regular … you are required a lot more just to access the training …
Anyway thanks for your visit
I think what Philippe was trying to say was that your blog implies that its not a hard test and all you need is … but he is correct in that you need a min 75 points and that they will take the best…however saying that if you get 120 points but can’t pass the psyc test or are just a plain A** then they may still not pick you up for the training (which you can still fail and be RTU (Return to unit))
Thank’s Andy for your comment , i edited the sentence .
No problem man, ill be joining the forces pretty soon problably in September and after my 2 years in the infantry, I am going to tryout for JTF2.
You need three years in the military before you can try out for the JTF2. It is the most hard thing you can ever do in your life. Please try to respect what they do for they can leave at any sec and never come home to see there family from up to 6 months at a moment notice. Nice work guys in the JTF2 keep up the good work. Deeds not Words.
how long dose it take you to be come Join Task Force two - JTF2
im a reservist right now debating going reg, and a few ppl from my unit have tried to get into the training phase, a couple have made it, most have bombed out, but we’ll see if they go all the way. JTF2 is literaly the hardest thing to even apply for reserve or reg, let alone get into pass and onto the 7 months of training. where u can still be rtu’d, most go csor or sartech since the path to geto jtf2 is so insane, but i commend them for the job they do and what they had to do to get it.
and your right chaaban infantry training is hard but u do get used to it… thats what the trainings for
JTF2 is open to any member of the Canadian Force, not “in general you have to be in the ARMY” as you posted. The Army/land, Air Force (air) and Navy/marine are elements of the Canadian Forces. We have one Force just different elements therfore anyone in the CF can become a member of JTF2. There might be more members of it from the Army butit’s open to any member of any element.
Also when you posted “I recently discovered That Canada have a Special Force (Not The SWAT Team) but Special Force for The ARMY”, SWAT (Speical Weapon and Tatics) or as they are known primarly in Canada ERT (Emergency Response Teams) are police teams and wouldn’t be consdiered Speical Forces at all. Sure they are specialized in close quarter battle etc over the normal officer but ERT is a differet animal from Special Operations so I don’t think that statment is really acurate to mention SWAT when you talk about Speical Operations.
My two cents.
For the JTF2 support personnel (SP) and specialist do they have the same training crse and level as Special Operations Assaulter?
I am 15 years old and want to join the Army and eventually apply for JTF2 do you have any training tips for me?
ya if you live on a cf basse go to the gym and get a apointement with a trainner they will put you into a self motivated routen if you will. once you turn 16 get into the reserves and keep in mind that the force is not a vedio game its not all gun ho and once you get hit your most likely done “not saying that its not posible to keep fightting” but go for it you neaver know.
hey everyone i just need some insight from fellow cf members i have 4 years in reserves as a port inspection and ships diver im debating on trying out for csor or jtf2 alot of guys are saying i should go i dont have alot of combat tranning beeing a diver but explosives i am very well known to and iv done some time on a boarding party , i think i can make it more to teh physcial aspect scince iv been through alot of diving courses and there not easy , i want to go for aussalter , do you think i could or should even do this.
any comment is greatly respected.
cheers.
thats hard core. im trying out for a co-op position with the cf for next year. how hard is the aptitude test? i know i will pass the physical with flying colours but depending on how hard the written is i dont know… i really hope i get in. im 17 i know i could just join but i would rather see if i like it first b4 i commit to it… this way im not stuck if i dont like it.
how old do you have to be to join the reserves?
Juste a little in, If you want to be a JTF2 members make sure that you really, and I said really want it and make sure that you are in the greatest shape that you never been, you have to be a ”machine”.
if you want to get into csor or jtf2 you better be in some of the best shape of your life , take airborne course and learn how to run up mountains, to pass selection requires committing yourself not only
to the unit but to your mates
i was seconded to the brits for 9 years in spec ops then jtf2 and now retired
good luck to all who make it .. it will be worth the ride
hey im just about to turn 15 and wondering a few things becuase ever since i was young ive wanted to join the military and i just resently heard about the jtf2 and immidietly knew thats wat i wanted to do.so a few questions.how old do u have to be to join the reserves and just normal military? if joined which one is my best shot to prepare me for the training n tests for the jtf2? and what are some things i can do to prepare myself -u no like things i can learn so i have some knowledge and skills that i will need to make it in the JTF2?
Thanx i will be thankful for your answers

Thank you very much Iveta
My boyfriend is a member of JTF2, I have been talking to him on the phone when he gets called out hardly time for an I love you. He is a captain very good at what he does. I just wanted to say that if you want to join JTF2 I hope you don’t want a family any time soon, I am not even allowed to know my boyfriends last name as I met him when he was already enlisted. It is difficult on the people that you love. It takes such discipline to do what they do and much more will power and courage to do what they do than any old military personal. Good luck to you guys who are joining or thinking of joining. God bless
Im 13 and my entire life have dreamed of joining the infantry, 4 years ago I learned of JTF2 and have ever since there slowly working my way so I can exceed the standards. Anyone who wants to join I suggest and early start of training yourself physically.
