As a Canadian, it's fascinating to learn what our own special forces actually do, especially when they're right up the road from me. Love your show Ryan!!
I've seen several of your interviews and I have to say that you are one of the best. You ask the right questions, know when to pry further (not only for your understanding, but the listeners) and when not to but most importantly you give everyone time to think of responses and provide them. I look forward to listening/watching a lot more interviews in the future. My sincerest appreciation for your service and providing excellent unrestricted content. Cheers!
Brilliant shoot... Q:for Dallas... If you were the Poo-Bah..what kit does CFOR, and the forces need to be more effective? Dedicated C-130s,Little Birds?...V-22s?...etc.
@@ipsc2alpha totally agree. Born and raised Alberta but am in BC now. Even with how bad the current government is I would still pick Canada over anywhere else.
Gotta love how a good ole Canadian, is not sitting and bragging like a sidewalk commando! Great humility and it's a part of why JTF2 is one of the world's best!
It's great to hear the details about this. Most Canadians, myself included, are clueless about requirements, let alone the differences between the units. I hope this inspires future generations of Canadians to aspire to this level of expertise.
Problem is who wants to go to war for a nation that wants to suppress its people. Many Americans are extremely patriotic, but have zero desire to serve under the current administration or leadership due to the political agenda
@@JohnSmith-ei6sc I think he is referring to the selection course and assaulter training which you can't find in an internet search, you patronizing pr*ck.
Like learning about Delta, sure there is a decent about of info (and misinformation) you can find online, but actually hearing it come from Pat Mac or Dale Comstock is a whole other thing. I agree completely that this was an inspiration and hope as well great men like these will inspire the citizens and soldiers of both our countries for many years to come.
@@JohnSmith-ei6sclol settle down kid. Those fitness requirements on google literally tell you nothing about the selection process. Even in his interview, he doesn't go into a whole lot of detail about the selection process, but it's definitely more than what we've heard before
I moved to Canada late 2021 from Afghanistan and I had the honour of working with the Canadian armed forces for as an interpreter however, Hopefully one day I will be serving in the proud Canadian army as a Canadian citizen 🫡🇨🇦
after 5 years most of us will acknowledge we were part of it ... but it will be 50 years before we can say much about what we did while in ... 26 years to go for this guy ... and then I can only cover 2 years worth of Canadian deployment ... the rest has to wait for it to clear the country of origin ..
@@Jarod-vg9wq I was working this ex Canadian pathfinder after he had came out of the military and this man was maybe 5'8" 160 lbs not muscular but extremely fit and intelligent and he went for a jog in this extremely dangerous area it was after a forest fire and there were so many starving bears but away he went then after two and a half hours he wasn't back so I commandeered a pickup a,nd went looking for his remains ( really thought he was toast). But I found him not jogging but at a full tilt run on his way back 37 kms out he said he had just turned around 15 mins ago.
Dallas Alexander was fired from the Canadian Forces when he refused the illegally ordered covid injections despite extreme pressure from the chain of command and his fellow members. He and others like him are members of our group Veterans For Freedom. These are the best of the best, most principled people out of any military.
I fucking love how quiet Canada keeps out special operations community. Like....98% of people don't even know they're there, which is exactly how it should be.
That’s due to the fact that there are only a handful. Also thanks to the fact that Canada has virtually no support structure to send troops anywhere. Aside from the tiny tool of tier one guys, the Canadian military is a complete joke.
I think part of it is that the vast majority of Canadians could not care a lick about the military and the only time the media pays any attention to the CAF is when something bad happens.
I use to work for the Canadian Coast Guard and I am lucky to say that I was able to watch, train and work with the JTF2 on March 26 - 29th 2006. We did a 3-day exercise with 55 members of JTF2 where we had them aboard our icebreaker with 4 Ribs on our welldeck on the west coast of Vancouver Island. 3 days we followed the HMCS Algonquin. I was the helmsman and was able to watch them plan with real-time intel on how they were going to storm the Algonquin. We launched their Ribs and the four of them ran up alongside our ship. I was steering the Sir Wilfred Laurier with four 4 ribs along the Starboard side the fourth Rib was the furthest down ship and got caught in the stern wake and ended up capsizing the Rib. We went into rescue mode and had them aboard in minutes and the heavily injured members were airlifted within minutes. Some of the members of JTF2 a week before had just rescued US hostages in Iraq. I have mad respect for these guys.
I always hated that part of the training ... be out of place too much and your hamburger .. and you put your team at a disadvantage ... not sure which was worse the potential death or the sense of failure supporting your family
Not for nothing... but weren't you ever told your interactions with... and knowledge of specific operations or training... with the unit was classified and not for public discussion?
JTF2 has always been so secretive, but we know they’re legit tier 1. It’s a real pleasure to hear one talk after decades of just redacted news snippets.
@@Flashback_Jack i mean tbh not enough is known about jtf2 to make that argument, if you wanna make that argument about more publicized tier 1 teams then by all means go ahead, but when it comes to jtf2 we just have so little details about operations and missions they’ve ran.
@@liamreed8636 I know enough about Canadian commandos' past to make an educated guess about their present capability. Canadian commandos have a long established reputation of being fearsome fighters--in many cases the tip of the spear in combat. Combined with the record for the world's longest snipe was a decisive victory against Delta Force in a training exercise and they were the preferred coalition partners in Afghanistan. They fucked the Taliban up something good!
One of my good friend's father was in JTF2 and deployed 4 times. He told me that he barely knew how to swim and they had an exercise in the water with weights... he made himself drown 2 times back to back and just because of that - he passed that test because they didnt care about his swimming ability as much as his fearlessness
@@mikefitzpatrick43 There's a reason why JTF2 were the first foreign Tier 1 team to be invited by JSOC in Afghanistan. I've met former Tier 1 from both Canada and the US and to look at them and meet them in R:L, you'd never knew they were the dangerous weapons they are, unlike some SAS ;) lol But Canada is the most secretive most likely.
I worked with a guy who applied for JTF, and had to go around his chain of command to do it. Got invited to selection. Came back, was convinced be failed. Said he came back feeling like the dumbest guy on the planet,and there was no way they'd choose him. 2 weeks later he got a call that he passed selection. And once he finally left for the unit/course, never saw or heard from him again. ...Absolutely the most normal looking, down to earth guy you could meet. Comes across as average among average. Hope he's doing well 🍻
@@swh0rd682 i believe it. The books I've read about them and the one thing in common i noticed is that none of them boost and always say they we're the least talented guy's in their unit's. Most think the're arrogant but i don't see it. Humble but lethal men
@@chrisburke624 Yep, saw similar couple of times. You talk to them before, they show interest then they go poof and they go grey man. Retired now, run into some, all they will say is they got in, did X years.
Don't care what people say about the Canadian army but JTF2 is one of the best and most secret units. I've seen many go to selection that would smoke everyone in our recon units or other special units and would come back tails between their legs. Much respect for those in the units and what they can do. In Afghanistan these guys were legends and they put the fear of death on the Taliban. Much of what was said I've heard so much about and even now I know next to nothing about the unit even with friends being part of it. It's just one of those things you never talked about even after retirement. I'm surprised you got him to talk on camera about JTF2
They probably have shorter shelf life then the Americans. Where there is push to be career soldiers Canada probably runs shorts shelf life's and less pressure to run up the chain as career.
4:56 the most believable senior NCO interaction I've ever heard. Require that vital information goes through them and then they forget to pass it along in a timely manner.
Maximum respect to any and all who are in this line of work as a Canadian. I’m always impressed of just how down to earth these men are. Thank you for what you do.
I’ve only known 2 people who were JTF2. Some commenters on here were saying Dallas was tight lipped but he said more about training and ops than either of my friends in the years I knew them. I’m surprised he talked so freely. Both of the guys I know were humble and knew their assignments in everything they did. Never complained, always professional.
🤣ya, I don't think people understand. Generally speaking Dallas was pretty tight lipped but he said more about JTF2 then what members of the CAF usually ever hear about.
@@markusk1015why he’s not really giving anything up unless it’s the fact that after being selected many only make it a day or two similar to the Navy Seal trading.
@@markusk1015 it was pretty vague almost scattered. I'm glad they value secrecy, that is honor. People are to eager to judge one another. And we all instinctively do it. Plus some times things are done you don't agree with and struggle to accept morally.
@@markusk1015 he didn't get in shit, the GOC and DND put a stop to this until they could go thru it very meticulously. Shawn was open about that and there are operational reasons for that
It's ironic that the mental resilience that they tested for in selection ended up being the thing that caused him to have to leave. Something for the leadership to reflect on and for Dallas to be proud of.
boy over the last 20 years the US military lost so much experience. From shifting warfare units to police units in iraq. Lessons passed down all the way from WWII lost.
The same thing is happening in the Australian special forces, the hardest hit being the SASR, after the best of the men were dragged through the media. It's a big problem in the intelligence agencies too, where the top shelf operators are one and the same more often than you'd think.
What a stud!!! Guess I know where my next "vacation" will be!🤣🤣😛 Makes me proud to be Canadian!! It would be nice to have him on the cover of a Calendar.... Get on it Canada!
I worked at BW for a while on a DOS training contract and saw these guys training there at least once a year. It was always impressive when they would show up, they would basically take over the compound but were always awesome to work with for any range conflicts.
interesting interview. I was in the Canadian military in the 80s, and I loved it, but I can see now that I never would have passed this course, my mindset was in need of correction. I have done some work on this since and my life is better for it. These guys are necessary for our country like it or not.
Similar thing for me. I scored in the bottom half of my basic training course, not because I wasn't fit or couldn't do military drills, but because of my mindset. I was still too much of an individual even though I passed with flying colours in everything else.
Just for anyone curious about the domestic element since the video ended, the Canadian equivalent of US federal domestic agencies, like the FBI, is combined and called RCMP. RCMP has their own hostage rescue teams called ERT (Emergency Response Teams), in addition some of the metro PD have their own dedicated teams too. If JTF2 is being called in domestically, something has likely gone real bad - but they're never publicly mentioned as deploying domestically, so they likely just show up untagged to assist ERT already on site. The only time JTF2 has publicly deployed inside Canada was as part of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, their inclusion in the security plan was considered a major asset for Vancouver.
I don't know this for sure but I think they were deployed during the parliamentary shooting in 2014. I can't think of any other unit that would be operating in civilian clothes but still wearing full balaclavas to protect their identity.
Thank you for the Canadian showcase! I am proud of our military personnel and have a second hand experience from a mate who played OPFOR for a training exercise. harrowing. Cheers.
My buddy Mike retired from the Military a few yrs ago and worked for DND after, he told me stories of these guys, not bragging stories, just about how regular they look out drinking at the bar, or just walking around on base, how they weren't like the US guys bragging or being loud and cocky, and how you would never tell by looking at them they are stone killers, but he said the confidence they had just sitting around having a drink was obvious to guys like us from the neighborhood they aren't fucking around.
I served as a LRS and my team participated in several joint operations alongside JTF2 in Afghanistan during 2006. It was an exceptionally tumultuous period, still amazed I survived it.
Shawn is dope. I only started watching this year but he’s so chill and you can tell he knows how to talk to these guys. When they seem to pull back he knows how to remind them that he’s been in the shit too.
Seeing people recognize the hard work, dedication and sacrifices of Canadian forces instead of the typical disrespect Canada receives is heartwarming. These are our men and women of the armed forces, they are what makes us strong and free 🇨🇦
The disrespect isn’t directed at the personnel, it’s at the government that severely under funds them. When you have to go into NATO joint operations with equipment that belongs in a museum, that must be frustrating as hell.
I went to high-school with guy who went on to join jtf2 he never told a single story from any deployment though staffing to get a glimpse into how amazing these men are. Also I was talking to an intoxicated Navy SEAL at a bar in San Diego one time and when I told him I was Canadian he told me that jtf2 was his first choice of global SOF forces he would work with if he could choose.
I did a specialized construction program in highschool my teacher was an incredible guy, he use to help train JTF-2 in Toronto in hand to hand combat (he was a 3rd degree blackbelt in judo and jujitsu 6'4 380lbs not fat) Just the way he would carry and conduct him self was something to see always on point always careful but not noticeably so. He really helped me grow as a young adult, I wish I was still in contact with him.
@@SergeantPerrawn yeah well pretty much. I mean my friend is a cardio beast but didnt work on the strenght part enough. Basically you need to be a semi pro crossfit athlete and mentally its really tough. Its None stop and there is a lot of mind games... Thing is he is a reservist so he also has a life outside of the military which makes it hard... you need to be reg force with a good support system around you to succeed + you need to have a brain wired for the job and requirements... they only take the best of the best...
I watched a lot of these specifically this Canadian guy an I can't watch em no more so I just listen. I was a soldier nowhere near as the class act he is, but I was royal engineers and this was early 90s we had the Falklands guys who were legends and then the special operations guys 59commando an 9para and they were so switched on it made me a better soldier, but then there was some who u could just see the pain in their eyes and it physically hurts me to see people who have been to some of the darkest places most of us will never see , its almost like they have it written on their forehead they are that recognisable. Thanks to all you lads who did this so the rest of us soldiers could do the job we had to do behind u, yep my job was dangerous but safe because of these guys , thank you 🫡
@@derek89273 that's the polar opposite of what i said. Erik said it was said by a general i said it was a seal team commander. 1. There's a video of said commander saying so. 2. Watch the video.
I lived on Base Borden for a while and had the privilege of meeting many JTF task force members. The best of the best in the Canadian military, hands down.
This makes me proud to be a Canadian, for years I've heard countless interviews with operators on training and recruitment for SEALS DELTA SAS etc, seeing our operators and what they go through makes me proud. The sniper episode specifically reminds me of the Jody Mitic biography I read and the similar training and experience he had.🇨🇦🇧🇲❤️
Dallas thank you for everything you and your brothers did to protect and keep us safe . this comment is no where near enough for thanks but its the best I can do .
@@guyincognito8440 I really don't think we should disparage anyone for their employment. Or lack of employment. I think they're simply saying they are proud of the progression from those jobs to this one.
A friend in high school trained every day running for miles , his dream was to be a pathfinder in the Canadian army. He told me about the cross country race while carrying a full pack , snow shoes, and a canoe. I hope he made it.
That running story about hurting his knee, and falling behind, with staff telling him to quit is hilarious. We had something similar during my BMQ. They took us outside in the night for PT (some idiot didn't lock his barrack box), and they made us hold the pushup position for a long time. It was early January in Quebec, and it was freezing. Instructors walked through our ranks asking who wants to sign their release forms, and that they can be home in their warm bed the next night, and partying at the club with their friends that weekend. 90% mental, 10% physical. The people who stay have the mental fortitude, and that's what they want. You can work on physical, but if your mind isn't in the right place, you can be an Olympic athlete and still be a cluster fuck when it counts.
So cool to see the change in you Shawn since your DMT experience, the way the conversation flow feel so organic now and you can tell your present. Proud of ya man!
I lived in Ottawa in 1984. I took the bus around 5am to the construction site I worked at. I remember once about 20-30 guys running across the road, all kitted up by the base. I wasn't used to seeing that...large armed men running across the road at night. They were fearsome.
@@EvanLe-ti3ms The “Big 5” you’ve listed ARE NOT used in this specific context (what is discussed in this video). It’s really that simple. One is the MMPI-2 and you can guess what the other one is because you’re going to tell me anyway. The reason why the MMPI-2 is used is not because that’s what I took, but it’s easily to correlate specific behavior traits, there’s tons of data. You’re probably super intelligent but not intelligent enough to understand when someone is literally f Ing with you. Now, please, touch grass and enjoy the day. The individual is the package and their assessment is based upon suggestions, not fact, and is a fraction of what’s needed to succeed. It’s like hiring someone because they have good credit alone, or the can jump high… makes sense yet??
MMPI tests can be easily manipulated. They ask the same questions with different context and wording. The pattern is easily spotted. From there, you just keep your answers consistent for your own desired outcome... SOF elements know this.. that is why a fire is lit under your ass during selection.
Hey Shawn I like the clips this size. 30 minutes on a certain topic. That way I don’t have to start the long full podcast every time if I want to hear parts of this man’s story.
You could always just select the topic you want from the main video as well… he breaks everything down into clips there then transfers to a sub channel
Shawn I love how you interview people . Its very respectful and patient and just the right amount of you speaking . You get your guest to bring it . To my fellow Canadian ... So proud of you guys and girls who stand guard for us .
One of y best friend was in JTF2 couples years ago and I tried very very hard to get some stories from him but he dont tell anything about it... Respect! 😅
When you see the few interviews that are out there with JTF2 guys you quickly realize why there's so little information out there about them. These guys are always calm and collected, not like the hothead operators you see in movies. They're not the type to brag or boast about their experiences. I assume that's part of the pysch eval.
My son wants to join CAF... he's Ojibway... and he's growing up in the elements... I want him to succeed... he's a tough boy... it's just up to him if he wants to be there in the moment... I'll get him ready
Shawn Ryan sounds like a professional interrogator. If I wanted to know everything on someone, I’d have the same approach like listening and being laidback while asking my questions. Pressure would be very subtle and gentle. The key is making the interviewee calm and confident while establishing a baseline. I’d tell him everything.
@@CDNR711 nope and those are his words not mine I have his records most of it is declassified there are a couple stories he’s told that aren’t in there but I have no reason not to believe him. I asked him once what they called themselves he said the Orcas I said why’s that his response was because Orcas eat seals
Airborne was the elite in Canadian military unit ,then they ran into confusion in Somalia, unit disbanded, went to PPCLI , then went quite for awhile, then these boys suddenly appeared
@thehashmonkey The special response team was tasked with domestic threats and was in charge of the security during Olympic games alongside with the RCMP. The Airbornes were the elite soldiers of the country at the time. After being disbanded, a lot of the Airbornes became instructors for JTF2 and CSOR because they had an outstanding amount of skills and knowledge to pass on. The Airbornes are the fathers of the assault special forces we have today. A lot of the Airbornes who remained in service for a long time were occasionally tasked to go train JTF2 and CSOR. Don't ask me how I know this because I won't tell ya.
I have a friend who went through all the JTF2 training and on his last day they had a long run with an obstacle course, and my friend hurt his knee jumping off a wall and couldn't finish the run so he got cut on his last day. Man! To this day he's still pissed.
One dude came to our unit with jtf recruiting. He was a monster. He said he tried out 3x and had to lose weight. He was too jacked. When I saw him he must of been 350 and 6'6. What a tank. His opening words were there are no Sylvester stallones or Arnold swartznegers in the jtf lol. He was buddy same thing as terminator lol
JTF2 is a Tier 1 CT unit, CSOR is a Tier 2 unit with Tier 1 capabilities (e.g., maritime interdiction). CSOR was stood up in 2006 because JTF2 isn't supposed to be an expeditionary unit (their mandate is domestic CT), but Canada's commitment to Afghanistan required SOF. The other units (427 SOAS and CJIRU) are support units. 427 SOAS is the only Air Force unit under OPCOM to another element.
CSOR is like US army rangers (tier 2). Like the Rangers that have one tier 1 company (Regimental reconnaissance company) the CSOR have one tier 1 special forces company, the 3 others are direct action tier 2 companies.
@@DaveX01 I was a CSOR officer from 2007-11. Like I said, they are Tier 2 with Tier 1 capabilities. All CSOR S1 operators are trained to do things Rangers don't, including maritime interdiction and other specialized skills.
@@goodputin4324 No, they're not a commando unit, they're a SOF unit. The only reason they train for a task like maritime interdiction is to support domestic CT operations.
Super cool hearing this, I worked at the kitchens on base in ottawa as a civ. You always knew when the JTF2 lads where in town, just a different breed of human all together
The first time I saw there compound in the ottawa area I was so amazed; these guys are the real deal. I’ve seen them running on the side roads in 30+ degree weather, and -30.
As a fellow Canadian...i want to say that i'm damn proud of you for standing against v@x tyranny and standing strong for freedom. Ironic that the very principles of mental fortitude and resilience that you were tested for and selected successfully for, would also be the reason for your depature. I stood for my freedom too and i respect the hell out of you Dallas. Thanks for your service
Glad he got that comeback moment after his bung knee. You can tell that really gave him some juice back, the smile said it all lol. These guys are the total package when it hits the fan. All SF guys from everywhere are incredible and really show what a few or even lone remarkable humanbeing is capable of.
There are 4 levels of requirements. The first level as he described, will be what determines if you're selected. After that, you must still pass the others, including additional physical training before fully being implemented into the JTF2

We went into rescue mode and had them aboard in minutes and the heavily injured members were airlifted within minutes. Some of the members of JTF2 a week before had just rescued US hostages in Iraq. I have mad respect for these guys.
A reminder that training can often be as dangerous as the real thing! Glad CCG was on hand for the assist.
Sounds like they were shit
The west coast of The Island is no joke. Thanks for watching out for everyone out there.
I always hated that part of the training ... be out of place too much and your hamburger .. and you put your team at a disadvantage ... not sure which was worse the potential death or the sense of failure supporting your family
Not for nothing... but weren't you ever told your interactions with... and knowledge of specific operations or training... with the unit was classified and not for public discussion?
JTF2 has always been so secretive, but we know they’re legit tier 1. It’s a real pleasure to hear one talk after decades of just redacted news snippets.
I'd argue they're second only to British SAS. They're up there.
@@Flashback_Jack i mean tbh not enough is known about jtf2 to make that argument, if you wanna make that argument about more publicized tier 1 teams then by all means go ahead, but when it comes to jtf2 we just have so little details about operations and missions they’ve ran.
@@liamreed8636
I know enough about Canadian commandos' past to make an educated guess about their present capability. Canadian commandos have a long established reputation of being fearsome fighters--in many cases the tip of the spear in combat. Combined with the record for the world's longest snipe was a decisive victory against Delta Force in a training exercise and they were the preferred coalition partners in Afghanistan. They fucked the Taliban up something good!
@@Flashback_Jack "the world's longest snipe was a decisive victory against Delta Force" dude, stfu
@@MrCdrant
Are you that illiterate? LMFAO!
Appreciate how rare it is to get any information about JTF2 and you will realize how fascinating this interview is.
One of my good friend's father was in JTF2 and deployed 4 times. He told me that he barely knew how to swim and they had an exercise in the water with weights... he made himself drown 2 times back to back and just because of that - he passed that test because they didnt care about his swimming ability as much as his fearlessness
Gods damn... I'm in NO WAY qualified to speak on it, but it sure SOUNDS like exactly what you'd want in an operator!
Yeah, if a troop is all-go-no-quit like that...probably worth having. Keep him around and teach him to swim. :)
Your friends dad is a baki character.
Basic lifeguard training in Canada makes you swim with weight for 3mins to pass keep your ears out of the water
Sounds like bullshit to be honest but that would be a pretty hilarious story if true
I knew two guys that made the team. They where the most fit, intelligent, down to earth men I have ever met. Absolutely team players .
That's the most important thing. It's not about the best guy's it's the right guy's
@@mikefitzpatrick43 There's a reason why JTF2 were the first foreign Tier 1 team to be invited by JSOC in Afghanistan. I've met former Tier 1 from both Canada and the US and to look at them and meet them in R:L, you'd never knew they were the dangerous weapons they are, unlike some SAS ;) lol But Canada is the most secretive most likely.
I worked with a guy who applied for JTF, and had to go around his chain of command to do it.
Got invited to selection.
Came back, was convinced be failed. Said he came back feeling like the dumbest guy on the planet,and there was no way they'd choose him.
2 weeks later he got a call that he passed selection. And once he finally left for the unit/course, never saw or heard from him again.
...Absolutely the most normal looking, down to earth guy you could meet. Comes across as average among average.
Hope he's doing well 🍻
@@swh0rd682 i believe it. The books I've read about them and the one thing in common i noticed is that none of them boost and always say they we're the least talented guy's in their unit's. Most think the're arrogant but i don't see it. Humble but lethal men
@@chrisburke624 Yep, saw similar couple of times. You talk to them before, they show interest then they go poof and they go grey man. Retired now, run into some, all they will say is they got in, did X years.
Don't care what people say about the Canadian army but JTF2 is one of the best and most secret units. I've seen many go to selection that would smoke everyone in our recon units or other special units and would come back tails between their legs. Much respect for those in the units and what they can do. In Afghanistan these guys were legends and they put the fear of death on the Taliban. Much of what was said I've heard so much about and even now I know next to nothing about the unit even with friends being part of it. It's just one of those things you never talked about even after retirement. I'm surprised you got him to talk on camera about JTF2
they are tools and they committed atrocities in Afghanistan you fool
Not so secret now he gave away the location of the teams smfh

the most believable senior NCO interaction I've ever heard. Require that vital information goes through them and then they forget to pass it along in a timely manner.
Maximum respect to any and all who are in this line of work as a Canadian. I’m always impressed of just how down to earth these men are. Thank you for what you do.
I’ve only known 2 people who were JTF2. Some commenters on here were saying Dallas was tight lipped but he said more about training and ops than either of my friends in the years I knew them. I’m surprised he talked so freely. Both of the guys I know were humble and knew their assignments in everything they did. Never complained, always professional.
🤣ya, I don't think people understand. Generally speaking Dallas was pretty tight lipped but he said more about JTF2 then what members of the CAF usually ever hear about.
He got in shit for this video though
@@markusk1015why he’s not really giving anything up unless it’s the fact that after being selected many only make it a day or two similar to the Navy Seal trading.
@@markusk1015 it was pretty vague almost scattered. I'm glad they value secrecy, that is honor. People are to eager to judge one another. And we all instinctively do it. Plus some times things are done you don't agree with and struggle to accept morally.
@@markusk1015 he didn't get in shit, the GOC and DND put a stop to this until they could go thru it very meticulously. Shawn was open about that and there are operational reasons for that
It's ironic that the mental resilience that they tested for in selection ended up being the thing that caused him to have to leave. Something for the leadership to reflect on and for Dallas to be proud of.
boy over the last 20 years the US military lost so much experience. From shifting warfare units to police units in iraq. Lessons passed down all the way from WWII lost.
The same thing is happening in the Australian special forces, the hardest hit being the SASR, after the best of the men were dragged through the media. It's a big problem in the intelligence agencies too, where the top shelf operators are one and the same more often than you'd think.
Why did he leave?

Get on it Canada!
I worked at BW for a while on a DOS training contract and saw these guys training there at least once a year. It was always impressive when they would show up, they would basically take over the compound but were always awesome to work with for any range conflicts.
Lots of our units training at BW. Our CP and CSOR as well
interesting interview. I was in the Canadian military in the 80s, and I loved it, but I can see now that I never would have passed this course, my mindset was in need of correction. I have done some work on this since and my life is better for it. These guys are necessary for our country like it or not.
Similar thing for me. I scored in the bottom half of my basic training course, not because I wasn't fit or couldn't do military drills, but because of my mindset. I was still too much of an individual even though I passed with flying colours in everything else.
Twice in my life I had the opportunity to meet a jtf2 member and they were so humble and down to earth.
"It doesn't matter if you can do 200 pushups, they're gonna ask you to do 202..."
That's some real shit right there.
Just for anyone curious about the domestic element since the video ended, the Canadian equivalent of US federal domestic agencies, like the FBI, is combined and called RCMP. RCMP has their own hostage rescue teams called ERT (Emergency Response Teams), in addition some of the metro PD have their own dedicated teams too. If JTF2 is being called in domestically, something has likely gone real bad - but they're never publicly mentioned as deploying domestically, so they likely just show up untagged to assist ERT already on site. The only time JTF2 has publicly deployed inside Canada was as part of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, their inclusion in the security plan was considered a major asset for Vancouver.
Sadly, the RCMP have lost a ton of respect in the last decade or so.
Poor leadership and politics have reduced the Force to a national embarrassment.
@@timmytwodogs they went woke. Straight up
@@timmytwodogsRCMP has cleaned up a lot in recent years actually. Trudeau gave them a big funding boost.
Jtf2 deployed in North Western Alberta in the early 2000s. Interesting story that few know.
I don't know this for sure but I think they were deployed during the parliamentary shooting in 2014. I can't think of any other unit that would be operating in civilian clothes but still wearing full balaclavas to protect their identity.
Couldn’t be more proud to be Canadian. Thank you gentlemen for your service
As a Canadian, this was a very interesting interview. Thanks you two!
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you for the Canadian showcase! I am proud of our military personnel and have a second hand experience from a mate who played OPFOR for a training exercise. harrowing. Cheers.
My buddy Mike retired from the Military a few yrs ago and worked for DND after, he told me stories of these guys, not bragging stories, just about how regular they look out drinking at the bar, or just walking around on base, how they weren't like the US guys bragging or being loud and cocky, and how you would never tell by looking at them they are stone killers, but he said the confidence they had just sitting around having a drink was obvious to guys like us from the neighborhood they aren't fucking around.
Most don't even have ranks or ranked private or maybe corporal. They're unsearchable even from within. They don't exist.
I served as a LRS and my team participated in several joint operations alongside JTF2 in Afghanistan during 2006. It was an exceptionally tumultuous period, still amazed I survived it.
Were you in Graceland?
Shawn is dope. I only started watching this year but he’s so chill and you can tell he knows how to talk to these guys. When they seem to pull back he knows how to remind them that he’s been in the shit too.
Seeing people recognize the hard work, dedication and sacrifices of Canadian forces instead of the typical disrespect Canada receives is heartwarming.
These are our men and women of the armed forces, they are what makes us strong and free 🇨🇦
The disrespect isn’t directed at the personnel, it’s at the government that severely under funds them.
When you have to go into NATO joint operations with equipment that belongs in a museum, that must be frustrating as hell.
I went to high-school with guy who went on to join jtf2 he never told a single story from any deployment though staffing to get a glimpse into how amazing these men are. Also I was talking to an intoxicated Navy SEAL at a bar in San Diego one time and when I told him I was Canadian he told me that jtf2 was his first choice of global SOF forces he would work with if he could choose.
He was probably just kissing *ss.
Of course the SEAL was talking up a storm
I did a specialized construction program in highschool my teacher was an incredible guy, he use to help train JTF-2 in Toronto in hand to hand combat (he was a 3rd degree blackbelt in judo and jujitsu 6'4 380lbs not fat) Just the way he would carry and conduct him self was something to see always on point always careful but not noticeably so. He really helped me grow as a young adult, I wish I was still in contact with him.

I watched a lot of these specifically this Canadian guy an I can't watch em no more so I just listen. I was a soldier nowhere near as the class act he is, but I was royal engineers and this was early 90s we had the Falklands guys who were legends and then the special operations guys 59commando an 9para and they were so switched on it made me a better soldier, but then there was some who u could just see the pain in their eyes and it physically hurts me to see people who have been to some of the darkest places most of us will never see , its almost like they have it written on their forehead they are that recognisable.
Thanks to all you lads who did this so the rest of us soldiers could do the job we had to do behind u, yep my job was dangerous but safe because of these guys , thank you 🫡

That running story about hurting his knee, and falling behind, with staff telling him to quit is hilarious. We had something similar during my BMQ. They took us outside in the night for PT (some idiot didn't lock his barrack box), and they made us hold the pushup position for a long time. It was early January in Quebec, and it was freezing. Instructors walked through our ranks asking who wants to sign their release forms, and that they can be home in their warm bed the next night, and partying at the club with their friends that weekend. 90% mental, 10% physical. The people who stay have the mental fortitude, and that's what they want. You can work on physical, but if your mind isn't in the right place, you can be an Olympic athlete and still be a cluster fuck when it counts.
So cool to see the change in you Shawn since your DMT experience, the way the conversation flow feel so organic now and you can tell your present. Proud of ya man!
Amen!
I lived in Ottawa in 1984. I took the bus around 5am to the construction site I worked at. I remember once about 20-30 guys running across the road, all kitted up by the base. I wasn't used to seeing that...large armed men running across the road at night. They were fearsome.

Labeling theory… sociology.
@@EvanLe-ti3ms The “Big 5” you’ve listed ARE NOT used in this specific context (what is discussed in this video). It’s really that simple. One is the MMPI-2 and you can guess what the other one is because you’re going to tell me anyway. The reason why the MMPI-2 is used is not because that’s what I took, but it’s easily to correlate specific behavior traits, there’s tons of data.
You’re probably super intelligent but not intelligent enough to understand when someone is literally f Ing with you. Now, please, touch grass and enjoy the day. The individual is the package and their assessment is based upon suggestions, not fact, and is a fraction of what’s needed to succeed. It’s like hiring someone because they have good credit alone, or the can jump high… makes sense yet??
MMPI tests can be easily manipulated. They ask the same questions with different context and wording. The pattern is easily spotted. From there, you just keep your answers consistent for your own desired outcome... SOF elements know this.. that is why a fire is lit under your ass during selection.
Dallas is very impressive! Great interview.
Hey Shawn I like the clips this size. 30 minutes on a certain topic. That way I don’t have to start the long full podcast every time if I want to hear parts of this man’s story.

Got to support these guys in a certain country as just a regular soldier. Absolute professionalism and badasses all around.
One of y best friend was in JTF2 couples years ago and I tried very very hard to get some stories from him but he dont tell anything about it... Respect! 😅
When you see the few interviews that are out there with JTF2 guys you quickly realize why there's so little information out there about them. These guys are always calm and collected, not like the hothead operators you see in movies. They're not the type to brag or boast about their experiences. I assume that's part of the pysch eval.

Back in the 70’s my father was part of the Royal Canadian Special Response Team which was the precursor to the JTF he was also ships marksman
The predecessor to JTF2 was the RCMP ERT/SERT, not the name you mentioned. But that maybe just due to a lost in translation over the years.
@@CDNR711 nope and those are his words not mine I have his records most of it is declassified there are a couple stories he’s told that aren’t in there but I have no reason not to believe him. I asked him once what they called themselves he said the Orcas I said why’s that his response was because Orcas eat seals
Airborne was the elite in Canadian military unit ,then they ran into confusion in Somalia, unit disbanded, went to PPCLI , then went quite for awhile, then these boys suddenly appeared
@@seansalter1679 no they weren’t the old man talked about Hilo jump training with me and how they also trained with other teams
@thehashmonkey The special response team was tasked with domestic threats and was in charge of the security during Olympic games alongside with the RCMP. The Airbornes were the elite soldiers of the country at the time. After being disbanded, a lot of the Airbornes became instructors for JTF2 and CSOR because they had an outstanding amount of skills and knowledge to pass on. The Airbornes are the fathers of the assault special forces we have today. A lot of the Airbornes who remained in service for a long time were occasionally tasked to go train JTF2 and CSOR. Don't ask me how I know this because I won't tell ya.
I have a friend who went through all the JTF2 training and on his last day they had a long run with an obstacle course, and my friend hurt his knee jumping off a wall and couldn't finish the run so he got cut on his last day. Man! To this day he's still pissed.
One dude came to our unit with jtf recruiting. He was a monster. He said he tried out 3x and had to lose weight. He was too jacked. When I saw him he must of been 350 and 6'6. What a tank.

Shawn Ryan, great interview!!!
JTF2 is a Tier 1 CT unit, CSOR is a Tier 2 unit with Tier 1 capabilities (e.g., maritime interdiction). CSOR was stood up in 2006 because JTF2 isn't supposed to be an expeditionary unit (their mandate is domestic CT), but Canada's commitment to Afghanistan required SOF. The other units (427 SOAS and CJIRU) are support units. 427 SOAS is the only Air Force unit under OPCOM to another element.
CSOR is like US army rangers (tier 2). Like the Rangers that have one tier 1 company (Regimental reconnaissance company) the CSOR have one tier 1 special forces company, the 3 others are direct action tier 2 companies.
@@DaveX01 I was a CSOR officer from 2007-11. Like I said, they are Tier 2 with Tier 1 capabilities. All CSOR S1 operators are trained to do things Rangers don't, including maritime interdiction and other specialized skills.
@@honestreviewer3283so CSOR is technically Canadian Marine Commando?
@@goodputin4324 No, they're not a commando unit, they're a SOF unit. The only reason they train for a task like maritime interdiction is to support domestic CT operations.
JTFX is the Intelligence/ Source handlers of the CAF. I didnt recall it being mentioned... selection is different but has many overlaps.
I believe that JTFX isn’t part of CANSOFCOM. But, it’s directly responsible to the CDS and employed/deployed as seen fit.

These guys are the total package when it hits the fan.
All SF guys from everywhere are incredible and really show what a few or even lone remarkable humanbeing is capable of.
There are 4 levels of requirements. The first level as he described, will be what determines if you're selected. After that, you must still pass the others, including additional physical training before fully being implemented into the JTF2
Can someone give some credit to S Ryan... man the guy just knows how to get best information possible!
