The Combat Training Centre (French: Centre d'instruction au combat) headquartered at 5 Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown, New Brunswick, and with schools at Gagetown and at CFB Kingston, 8 Wing Trenton and CFB Borden in Ontario, is responsible for individual training for Canadian Army soldiers and officers in military occupational classifications that are controlled by the Canadian Army. Originally known as the Combat Arms School, it was formed at Camp (now CFB) Borden, Ontario, in 1965, moving to CFB Gagetown in the early 1970s. It is a formation of the Canadian Army Doctrine and Training Centre, the former Land Force Doctrine and Training System which was renamed as part of the reorganization of the Canadian Army on 18 July 2013.
The Combat Training Centre conducts more the 740 training courses involving more than 15,000 Regular Force and Reserve Force students annually.
The badge of the Combat Training Centre combines the maple leaf and crossed swords of the Canadian Army badge combined over a three-coloured field with yellow representing the cavalry (armour), blue the artillery and red the infantry.
