Tri Command Vision
"Canada and the United States have a long history of defense and security cooperation reflecting our shared interests, geography, international commitments, and common understanding of the threats and vulnerabilities facing out two countries. The creation of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) in 1985 and more recently the establishment of United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and Canada Command (Canada COM) clearly demonstrates our nations' resolve to protect our citizens and territory. As Canada and the United States face the challenges of the 21st Century, NORAD, USNORTHCOM, and Canada COM, will work to enhance our ability to act in a timely and coordinated fashion to defend Canada and the United States. We will work effectively in support of civilian departments and agencies to ensure the safety and security of our citizens. This Tri Command Vision reflects the views of the Commanders NORAD, USNORTHCOM and Canada COM, applies to our Commands and all subordinate elements and, along with other national and Command guidance, serves as a basis for future Command priorities."

Bi-National Planning Group: Final Report on Canada and the United States (CANUS) Enhanced Military Cooperation
"The findings and recommendations contained in this Final Report provide great insight into key areas of Canada-United States military cooperation. The Bi-national Planning Group's (BPG) efforts are intended to be a catalyst in defining and strengthening future CANUS relationships. We recommend that its functions be moved to the appropriate strategic and operational levels of the Canadian and United States agencies responsible for the defense and security of our shared continent. The BPG's mandate covered a critical period in the evolving defense and security relationship of the United States and Canada, a time during which both countries responded to the new threat environment after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Over the course of its mandate, extended until May 2006, the BPG exceeded expectations. It conducted reviews of existing Canada-U.S. defense plans and military assistance protocols; drafted new bi-national contingency plans to respond to threats, attacks and other major emergencies in Canada or the U.S.; analyzed information sharing practices; designed and participated in exercises and joint training; and established coordination mechanisms with relevant Canadian and U.S. Federal departments and agencies."
