The Department of National Defence has confirmed that 35 Canadian military members who are part of the Canadian detachment with the 552nd Air Control Wing of the U.S. Air Force have not been deployed to the Persian Gulf region. The U.S. Air Force wing, stationed at the Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, has sent six Boeing E-3G Sentry AWACS surveillance aircraft to an airbase in Saudi Arabia amidst ongoing tensions with Iran.
National Defence clarified that the Canadian Armed Forces are not participating in Operation Epic Fury and have not been involved in planning the conflict. Currently, around 200 Canadian military personnel are deployed in various missions across the Middle East, with some members either relocated within the region or returned to Canada. For security reasons, detailed personnel numbers at specific locations are not disclosed.
