==History==

[[File:Arthur Mignault.png|left|thumb|[[Arthur Mignault]], founder of the Royal 22nd Regiment]]
[[File:The farewell (HS85-10-30885).jpg|thumb|left|22nd Battalion leaving Quebec in 1915.]]
While the Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment commemorates the history and traditions of the [[Canadian Regiment of Fencible Infantry]] from the War of 1812 (also carrying resultant battle honours from the War of 1812), the modern ancestor of the regiment was formed in the early days of the [[World War I|First World War]] as part of the [[British Army]], when volunteers from all over [[Canada]] were being massed for training at [[Valcartier, Québec]], just outside Quebec City. The first contingent of 30,000 volunteers, which became the [[1st Canadian Division]] of the [[Canadian Expeditionary Force]], were grouped into numbered battalions, regardless of origin. The existing reserve regiments were not mobilized, due to the belief of the [[Minister of Militia and Defence (Canada)|Defence Minister]], [[Sam Hughes]], that a new "efficient" structure was required. Once again the new structure did not contain French-speaking units, such as those that had existed in the reserves. Over 1000 French-Canadian volunteers were scattered into different English-speaking units. This was not an oversight as Ontario (Hughes's political base) was in the process of outlawing both the teaching of French, as well as in the French language in their school system ([[Regulation 17]]) The predictable outrage in French Canada created a lack of support for the war of "King and Country", perceived as a mechanism to entirely annihilate the Francophone community in Canada.

The second contingent was more logically based on battalions raised and trained in the various military districts in which they were recruited, but remained using an impersonal numerical basis (with the exception of those with a Highland or Irish identity). Considerable political pressure in Quebec, along with public rallies, demanded the creation of French-speaking units to fight a war many viewed as being right and necessary, despite Regulation 17 in Ontario.
[[File:Mignault-Borden 22e Regiment Letter.png|right|thumb|150px|[[Arthur Mignault|Mignault]] communicated with Prime Minister [[Robert Borden]], leading to the creation of the [[Royal 22e Régiment|Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment]]]]
In September 1914, French Canadian pharmaceutical entrepreneur [[Arthur Mignault]] communicated with Prime Minister [[Robert Borden]], advocating the formation of a solely French Canadian regiment. Mignault offered the government $50,000 to pursue this end.{{sfn|Le Rossignol|1915|p=274}} Borden had recently committed Canada to provide half a million soldiers to the [[Allies of World War I|Allied]] cause, and was just realising how demanding it would be to honour this promise. Borden eagerly accepted Mignault's proposal<ref>Desmond MORTIN, ''A Short History of Canada'', Random House inc., page 237.</ref> and accordingly, on 14 October 1914, the [[22nd Battalion (French Canadian), CEF]], was authorized. Mignault participated in the recruitment campaign, which resulted in a remarkable success; the ranks of the battalion were filled in less than a month. Arthur Mignault is as such considered the founder of the 22nd regiment.<ref>http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/fusiliers_mtroyal/pdf/aout2010.pdf {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0gsnJNv-kSoC&pg=PA200 |title=Le Leadership militaire Canadien français: Continuité, efficacité et loyauté&nbsp;– Google Books |date=2007-02-28 |access-date=2013-01-24|isbn=9781770702585 |last1=Legault |first1=Roch |last2=Horn |first2=Bernd |publisher=Dundurn }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lequebecetlesguerres.org/la-fondation-du-22e-bataillon/ |title=La fondation du 22<sup>e</sup> Bataillon (canadien-français) &#124; Le Québec et les guerres mondiales |publisher=Lequebecetlesguerres.org |date=2012-11-13 |access-date=2013-01-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lesfusiliersmont-royal.com/dhier-a-aujourdhui/membres-emerites/arthur-mignault/ |title=Arthur Mignault - Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal |website=www.lesfusiliersmont-royal.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130417021529/http://www.lesfusiliersmont-royal.com/dhier-a-aujourdhui/membres-emerites/arthur-mignault/ |archive-date=2013-04-17}}</ref><ref>[http://www.shbellechasse.com/aufildesans/Vol%2015,%20no%202.pdf Conseil d’administration de la Société historique de Bellechasse] shbellechasse.com</ref>

The 22nd went to France as part of the 5th Canadian Brigade and the [[2nd Canadian Division]] in September 1915, and fought with distinction in every major Canadian engagement until the end of the war. While other French speaking units were also created, they were all broken up upon arrival in France to provide reinforcements for the 22nd, which suffered close to 4000 wounded and killed in the course of the war. Two members of the 22nd were awarded the [[Victoria Cross]] in that war, Lieutenant [[Jean Brillant]] and Corporal [[Joseph Kaeble]].

After the war, the 22nd Battalion was disbanded on 20 May 1919, sharing the fate of other numbered battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. However, in the post-war reorganizations of the army, public pressure, such as resolutions by the [[Legislative Assembly of Quebec]] as well as the City Council of Quebec City, demanded that a permanent French-language unit be created in the peace-time Regular Force, and accordingly a new regiment was created, made up of veterans of the 22nd Battalion, on 1 April 1920. Initially the regiment, which was given the guard of the [[Citadelle of Quebec]], was simply the ''22nd Regiment'', but in June 1921 King [[George V]] approved the renaming of it as ''The Royal 22nd Regiment''. In 1928, the anomaly of a French-language unit with an English name was resolved, and the regiment became the ''Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment'' in both languages.<ref>Bernier, Serge The Van Doos, Les Éditions GID 2013 Québec, Canada</ref> While in the Canadian Armed Forces, unit names are generally translated into the language of a text, traditional combat arms regiments are identified only in the single language of their troops, either English or French.  However, the English version of the R22<sup>e</sup>R is still seen occasionally, but strictly speaking it is incorrect; only "Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment"  has been official in either language since 1928.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vandoos.com/ |title=Vandoos |website=www.vandoos.com |access-date=19 Dec 2016}}</ref>

In 1940, the regiment became the first Francophone Canadian unit to mount the [[King's Guard]] in [[London]] and was the first of the three current Regular Force infantry regiments to do so.

[[File:R22eR Québec-1.JPG|thumb|Soldiers of the Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment exercising the [[freedom of the city]] in front of [[Quebec City]]'s City Hall, on 3 July 2006]]
In the [[Second World War]], the regiment was part of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Brigade and the [[1st Canadian Infantry Division]] and was involved in intense combat in Italy, (where [[Captain (land)|Captain]] [[Paul Triquet]] earned the Victoria Cross) and later in the Netherlands and northwest Germany.

During the [[Korean War]], 1951–1953, the regiment expanded to three battalions, each serving in turn as part of the Canadian brigade in the [[1st Commonwealth Division]]. Thus the "Van Doos" represented one-third of Canada's infantry contingent throughout the war.

During the [[Cold War]] the regular battalions of the regiment served, in turn, in [[West Germany]] as part of [[4 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group]], with the 1<sup>er</sup> Battalion serving permanently from 1967 until the withdrawal in 1993.
[[File:Baptiste the Goat.JPG|thumb|left|160px|Batiste X, mascot of the regiment]]
The regiment also served during the [[Oka Crisis]]. During the life of the [[Canadian Airborne Regiment]] (1968–1995) the 1<sup>er</sup> Commando was manned as a French-speaking sub-unit by soldiers of the Royal 22nd Regiment.

In the 1950s, the [[Canadian Army]] promoted a scheme of administratively associating reserve infantry regiments with a regular one. Although this project did not make much progress in most of the army, three reserve regiments did join the Van Doos, becoming battalions of the Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment:

In the case of [[Les Fusiliers du St-Laurent|Les Fusiliers du S<sup>t</sup>-Laurent]], the battalion designation was in a subsidiary title, but it became nevertheless, administratively, part of the Royal 22<sup>e</sup>  Régiment. However, in 1968, Les Fusiliers du S<sup>t</sup>-Laurent dropped the subsidiary title, and ended their administrative association with the R22<sup>e</sup>R.

==Operational history==

===Fenian raids===
The 64th Voltigeurs-de-Beauharnois were called out on active service from 9 to 29 April and from 24 to 31 May 1870.

The regiment landed in Sicily on 10 July 1943 and in Italy on 3 September 1943 as part of 3rd Brigade, [[1st Canadian Infantry Division]]. On 16 March 1945, the regiment moved with the I Canadian Corps as part of [[Operation Goldflake]] to North-West Europe, where it fought until the end of the war. The overseas regiment was disbanded on 1 March 1946.<ref name="ReferenceA" />

[[File:Royal 22e Régiment - Retour d'Europe.jpg|thumb|left|Parade marking the return of the regiment from Europe to the Citadel in Quebec City, 1945.]]

On 1 June 1945, a second Active Force component of the regiment was mobilized for service in the Pacific theatre of operations as the 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion ({{lang|fr|i=unset|Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment}}), CASF. It was redesignated the 2nd Battalion ({{lang|fr|i=unset|Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment}}), {{abbr|CIC|Canadian Infantry Corps}}, on 2 September 1945 and the {{lang|fr|i=unset|Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment}}, CIC, on 1 March 1946. On 27 June 1946, it was embodied in the Permanent Force.

Details of {{lang|fr|i=unset|Le Régiment de Châteauguay (Mitrailleuses)}} were called to service on 26 August 1939 and then placed on active service on 1 September 1939, as {{lang|fr|i=unset|Le Régiment de Châteauguay (Mitrailleuses)}}, CASF (Details), for local protection duties. The details called to active service were disbanded on 31 December 1940.

The regiment subsequently mobilized the 1st Battalion, {{lang|fr|i=unset|Le Régiment de Châteauguay (Mitrailleuses)}}, CASF for active service on 18 March 1942. It was re-designated as the 1st Airfield Defence Battalion ({{lang|fr|i=unset|Le Régiment de Châteauguay) (Mitrailleuses)}}, CIC, CASF on 19 July 1943, the 1st Airfield Defence Battalion ({{lang|fr|i=unset|Le Régiment de Châteauguay}}), CIC, CASF on 1 January 1944 and the 1st Battalion, {{lang|fr|i=unset|Le Régiment de Châteauguay}}, CIC, CASF on 1 September 1944. This unit served in Canada in a home defence role as part of the [[7th Canadian Division]], with three of its companies serving in Newfoundland. On 10 January 1945, the unit embarked for Great Britain, where it was disbanded on 18 January 1945 in order to provide reinforcements for the Canadian Army in the field.<ref name="ReferenceA" />

Details from {{lang|fr|i=unset|Le Régiment de St. Hyacinthe}} were called out on service on 26 August 1939 and then placed on active service on 1 September 1939 as {{lang|fr|i=unset|Le Régiment de St. Hyacinthe}}, CASF (Details), for local protection duties. The details called out on active service were disbanded on 31 December 1940. The regiment subsequently mobilized the 1st Battalion, {{lang|fr|i=unset|Le Régiment de St. Hyacinthe}}, CASF for active service on 3 January 1942. This unit served in Canada in a home defence role as part of Atlantic Command and in Newfoundland from April 1943 to September 1944. The battalion was disbanded on 14 January 1946.

===United Nations operations – Korea===
Three battalions of the Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment served in the Republic of Korea as part of the [[25th Canadian Infantry Brigade]], [[1st Commonwealth Division]]. The 2nd Battalion formed as part of the [[Special Force (Canada)|Special Force]] was the first to arrive in Korea, serving there from 4 May 1951 to 24 April 1952, followed by the 1st Battalion from 20 April 1952 to 21 April 1953 then the 3rd Battalion from 16 April 1953 to the Armistice on 27 July 1953.

===Oka Crisis===
In the summer of 1990, the [[Attorney General of Quebec]] requisitioned the Canadian Armed Forces, including the Van Doos, to challenge [[Mohawk people|Mohawk]] activists and warriors in [[Kanehsatà꞉ke]] and [[Kahnawake]] in a confrontation called the [[Oka Crisis]].

===Gulf War===
'C' Company from the 1st Battalion, then based at [[CFB Lahr]] in West Germany as part of [[4 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group]], served in [[Doha]], Qatar, providing airfield security from 24 December 1990 to the end of March 1991.

=== Afghanistan ===
[[File:Québec - Citadelle de Québec - je me souviens 1.jpg|thumb|left|The badge of the regiment above the entry to the [[Citadelle of Quebec]]]]
The 3rd Battalion, along with an attached mechanized company from the 1st, provided the basis for the Canadian [[International Security Assistance Force|ISAF]] contingent in [[Kabul]], [[Afghanistan]], from February to August 2004.

In August 2007 the battle group based on the 3rd Battalion of the Royal 22<sup>e</sup> Régiment returned to Afghanistan, replacing the 2nd Battalion [[The Royal Canadian Regiment]] in [[Kandahar]] province. This battle group was made up of a company from each of the regiment's three regular battalions. It also included combat support and service support from all the units of 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group in Valcartier, Quebec. There was a reconnaissance squadron from the [[12e Régiment blindé du Canada|12<sup>e</sup> Régiment blindé du Canada]], a composite tank squadron from [[Lord Strathcona's Horse]] (with troops from the other two armoured regiments), a battery from the [[5e Régiment d'artillerie légère du Canada|5<sup>e</sup> Régiment d'artillerie légère du Canada]], an engineer squadron from [[5 Combat Engineer Regiment]]. The battle group, awarded the [[Commander-in-Chief Unit Commendation]], was "instrumental in dismantling improvised explosive device networks, re-capturing checkpoints and returning them to Afghan control, enhancing the capacity of Afghan forces and providing guidance on community building and local governance".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.gc.ca/web/article-eng.do?m=/index&nid=562039

The Royal 22nd Regiment also provided about 150 trainers (in [[Operational Mentoring and Liaison Team]]s (OMLTs)) for the three Afghan "Kandaks" serving with them. As well it provided a protection company for the [[Provincial Reconstruction Team]] (PRT) in Kandahar.

The regiment distinguished itself in Kandahar through its determined and successful efforts to establish Afghan police sub-stations, protected by [[Afghan National Army]] and Canadian presence, in an ever-widening secure zone in the former [[Taliban]] home districts of Zhari and Panjawaii. Light infantry elements often fought toe-to-toe with the Taliban, relying heavily on [[sniper]] fire and man-portable [[grenade launchers]] to gain the edge over the militants. The battle group, and its associated OMLT and PRT elements, had 10 men killed in action during the six-month tour. The many wounded included Captain [[Simon Mailloux]], a Van Doos [[platoon]] commander who returned two years later to Kandahar even though his leg had to be amputated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.globaltvbc.com/health/Amputee+soldier+heads+back+Afghanistan/2028364/story.html |access-date=16 January 2011 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711101548/http://www.globaltvbc.com/health/Amputee+soldier+heads+back+Afghanistan/2028364/story.html |title=Amputee soldier heads back to Afghanistan|first=Marianne|last=White|date= 24 September 2009|archive-date=11 July 2011}}</ref>

The composition of this battle group was nearly identical to previous incarnations, and it was able to rely heavily on the recently deployed [[CH-146 Griffon]] and [[CH-47 Chinook]] helicopters to perform a wide variety of [[airmobile]] operations, as well as traditional mechanized manoeuvres. The Griffon helicopters proved especially capable at spotting Taliban movements and directing accurate [[artillery]] fire on them, preventing Taliban groups from effectively re-infiltrating areas previously cleared.

Over the course of the seven-month Rotation 7, ten soldiers from the battle group were killed in action ("Rotation 7" denoting that this was the eighth consecutive Canadian battle group deployment in Kandahar since 2006, as rotations are numbered starting at "0"). Five additional Canadian soldiers, all belonging to the battle group's parent organization, [[Afghanistan War order of battle#Canada|Task Force Kandahar]], also died during that period. The vast majority of these soldiers were killed by the Taliban's lethal employment of anti-vehicle or [[anti-personnel]] [[improvised explosive devices]].

The final Canadian combat mission began in the fall of 2010 with the 1st Battalion Battle Group (BG) commanded by Lieutenant-colonel Michel-Henri St. Louis. One of the main operations taken on by the BG was [[Operation Baawar]] beginning in December 2010 featuring a major road project and a strongpoint construction project led by engineers, tanks, and infantry.

==Possible specialist Arctic sovereignty role==
It has been suggested in some Canadian professional military journals that the regiment's third battalion (3 R22eR) could be adapted to become a specialist amphibious battalion or a specialized light infantry battalion that is able to deploy parachute infantry and marine infantry company groups to support the protection of Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic.<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Brian K. |last=Wentzell |title=Arctic Amphibious Capabilities for Canada? |magazine=Canadian Naval Review |volume=15 |number=2 |date=2019 |editor-first=Ann L. |editor-last=Griffiths |pages=34–37 |location=Antigonish, Nova Scotia |publisher=St Francis Xavier University |url=https://www.navalreview.ca/wp-content/uploads/CNR_pdf_full/cnr_vol15_2.pdf |access-date=27 January 2021 |archive-date=3 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210203105231/https://www.navalreview.ca/wp-content/uploads/CNR_pdf_full/cnr_vol15_2.pdf |url-status=live }} and {{cite journal |first=Les |last=Mader |title=3rd Special Service Force: A Paratroop/Marine Infantry Arctic Contingency Force For Canada? |journal=The Canadian Army Journal |volume=19 |issue=2 |pages=70–75 |url=https://www.army.gc.ca/assets/ARMY_Internet/docs/en/canadian-army-journal/caj-19-2-en.pdf}}</ref>
