6. Joint Force Task 2 (JTF2), Canada
With a comparatively smaller history of just 23 years, this task force has expanded to several hundreds in a relatively short time. They have been a part of various world hotspots, from rescuing hostages in Iraq to hunting down Serbian snipers in Bosnia. The forces were also present in Afghanistan; however their activities there are highly guarded. JTF 2 bills itself as “a scalpel, not a hammer”, making them a faceless, shadowy counter-terrorism force. This world-class elite troop discloses almost nothing about their ultra-secretive operations.
