 The legacy of the Pacific Coast Militia Rangers is perpetuated by the Canadian Rangers, a component of the Primary Reserve that provides a military presence in areas where it would not be economically or practically viable to have conventional Army units - most notably northern Canada.The Canadian Army Reserve continued to use the term "militia" in reference to itself until the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968.Since unification, no Canadian military force has formally used "militia" in its name.
