Description of ASU Chilliwack, including the Lower Mainland and Interior British Columbia ASU Chilliwack supports Department of National Defence facilities distributed across the BC Mainland, including the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Interior, and Northern regions of the province. These geographically dispersed sites form part of the Canadian Armed Forces’ Pacific Region infrastructure and support a range of domestic defence, communications, training, and operational support functions. The primary mission of these sites is to enable operational readiness and sustainment through specialized infrastructure that supports communications systems, technical operations, training activities, logistics, and site-specific defence programs. Activities are predominantly infrastructure and mission-support focused, contributing to national defence objectives as well as broader CAF and allied commitments. The BC Mainland sites accommodate a mix of regular force personnel, reserve members, and civilian employees, with staffing levels varying by location, function, and security posture. Facilities include a combination of operations and communications buildings, technical and equipment facilities, training and administrative spaces, warehousing, utilities, and site services. Some locations operate under enhanced security requirements due to operational sensitivity, while others are non-secure or limited-access sites. Infrastructure across the detachment ranges from legacy facilities to specialized mission-specific assets, many of which require ongoing maintenance, lifecycle management, and targeted modernization to support evolving operational, security, and resilience requirements across the province.
