“Pact allows U.S. troops into Canada during emergency”
Dateline Tue, 10 Dec 2002: U.S. troops could find themselves on Canadian territory helping police and firefighters deal with emergencies under a new pact signed by the two countries. The new accord says that soldiers from either country could cross the border, but would then be under the command of the host country. The Canadian Minister of Defense stated “The pact puts Canada in a position to work with the United States on plans to defend North America, plans the United States would otherwise be developing without us.” U.S. forces would only cross the border if Canada requested them, and they would be under Canadian operational command.
