History

Formation

32 Service Battalion traces its roots from No. 2 Company Canadian Army Service Corps (CASC), Non-Permanent Active Militia.[7] The Canadian Army Service Corps was formed under General Order 141 on 1 November 1901[8] with four companies No. 1 (London), No. 2 (Toronto), No. 3 (Kingston), and No. 4 (Montreal).[9] In 1965, No. 2 Company (Toronto) was reformed as Toronto Service Battalion bringing together several corps into one organization as a new service support concept, which was adopted nationally in 1968.[10] In 1975 Service Battalions were numbered geographically with Toronto Service Battalion becoming 25 (Toronto) Service Battalion.[11] The unit was later renamed 32 Service Battalion on 13 May 2010.[12]

The role of 32 Service Battalion is to force generate trained soldiers to support Canada's operational requirements domestically and abroad.[13] 32 Service Battalion provides combat service support capabilities to domestics operations such as floods, forest fires, and other domestic crises such as the COVID pandemic.[14] The soldiers of the battalion are comprised of part-time soldiers from technical fields with a small full-time cadre (Regular Force) who facilitate the day-to-day operations of the unit.[15]
