Patrol Areas
There are five main patrol areas of the Canadian Rangers. Those are the Canadian Forces Northern Area (CFNA), Land Force Quebec Area (LFQA), Land Force Central Area (LFCA), Land Force Western Area (LFWA) and the Land Force Atlantic Area (LFAA). Each patrol area is directly controlled by the headquarters unit of a Canadian Ranger Patrol Group or CRPG (in French, Groupe de Patrouilles des Rangers Canadiens or GPRC).

Famous quotes containing the word areas:
“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long. The world needed a discoverer of the North Pole, and in all areas of social activity, merit was less important here than opportunity.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
