LF is the descendant of the Canadian Army which was the name of Canada's land forces until February 1, 1968, although this term has never really disappeared from the LF description. At the time of unification all army units were placed under Force Mobile Command (FMC) with the name being changed to Land Force Command in a 1990s reorganization of the Canadian Forces.
