Petawawa, Canada Canadian Armed Forces Full time

As a member of the military, Armour Officers provide reconnaissance and direct-fire support in battle from armoured fighting vehicles such as the Leopard main battle tank, the Light Armoured Vehicle or Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle, and a variant of the wheeled Light Utility Vehicle.

An Armour Officer is the leader of armoured vehicles in a Reconnaissance Squadron, a Tank Troop or Direct-Fire Support Troop. They are responsible for soldiers’ training, morale, discipline and combat efficiency, and for the operational readiness of their equipment.

As a Reconnaissance Troop Leader, they employ stealth, flexibility and innovation on the battlefield, using advanced sensors and equipment, to locate the enemy and identify high-value targets for the commander.

As a Tank Troop Leader or Direct-Fire Support Troop Leader, they employ mobility, flexibility and shock action on the battlefield to use armoured direct-fire systems to destroy enemy targets.

Work environment

Armour Officers serve in any kind of terrain — Arctic tundra, tropical jungle, desert, mountains, urban complex — and any kind of climate. They may be deployed abroad on operational missions or in Canada in support of civil authorities in cases of national emergency. Initially, they are posted to one of three Armour regiments:

  • The Royal Canadian Dragoons, 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, Petawawa, Ontario
  • 12th Canadian Armored Regiment, 5th Canadian Brigade Group, Valcartier, Quebec

Working in the turret of a tank isn’t your typical office space, and no two days are alike working as an Armour Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Armour Officers work with highly motivated teams of soldiers in Canada’s three armoured regiments in the Regular Force and 18 Reserve regiments. They lead battle-ready tanks and armoured fighting vehicles on ground missions around the world.

Armour Officers command as many as eight vehicles and more than 20 troops at a time — all from the inside of these agile fighting machines that can punch a hole through an enemy position in any terrain — shooting on the move and defeating the opposition through the aggressive use of firepower and battlefield mobility.

Armour Officers determine where their troop of vehicles will go, what the troop fires at, and how the troop will do it. Leadership is the key component of being an Armour Officer. The ability to build team cohesion and maintain morale in difficult situations are critical parts of the job.

Once fully trained, Armour Officers are assigned to one of three historic armoured regiments in the Regular Force: the Lord Strathcona’s Horse Royal Canadians in Edmonton, the 12e Régiment blindé du Canada in Valcartier, Quebec; or the Royal Canadian Dragoons, based in Petawawa, Ontario. There are also 18 Reserve armoured regiments across Canada.

Professional development is important, and there are opportunities to advance both in rank and position, such as Transport Officer, Assistant-Adjutant, Accounts Officer or Regimental Liaison Officer.

Armour Officers regularly deploy across Canada and overseas on military operations. At home, they may be called upon to help during natural disasters like fire or flood relief.
