Atlantic Command was a formation of the Canadian Army created during the Second World War to strengthen and administer home defence facilities on Canada's Atlantic Coast.
A second major function was to train reinforcements to be sent to
the Canadian divisions in Europe. Most of those soldiers received and
trained with their personal weapons in Camp Debert before being
transported by train to Halifax where they embarked on troop ships that took them to Britain.
Atlantic Command combined the pre-war
Military District No. 6 (Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia) with Military District No. 7 (New Brunswick) and
Military District No. 5 (the eastern part of the Province of Quebec bordering the Gulf of Saint Lawrence).
Extending the existing military cooperation among Canada, the Dominion of Newfoundland and the United Kingdom, Atlantic Command also controlled Canadian personnel stationed in Newfoundland.
