Canadian Volunteer Forces

The Canadian Volunteer Forces was a pre-war military unit of the United States Army comprised of soldiers from Canada to fight for the United States of America during the Sino-American War. The CVF was comprised of various divisions of Canadian citizens officially volunteers, but most were merely conscripts that were forced to fight America's war against China during the 2070s. 
==History==
===Formation===
In September of  2072, United States President Samuel Walker signed into law the National Service and Redemption Act in which criminals, prisoners of war, and interned Chinese-Americans were given the opportunity to be "redeemed" by serving in the United States Armed Forces agains the People's Liberation Army of China during the Resource Wars. The act was signed due to low enlistment rates once the Alaskan Campaign had grinded to a stalemate and Amerian casualties were mounting fast. Among those who could enlist and be subjected to conscription were former soldiers of the Canadian Army and captured Canadian partisans who resisted American troops during the annexation of their country. Many would join, but only to escape the hellish conditions of the American prison camps and were soon put through basic training and given American uniforms with the special blue maple leaf emblem to designate them as members of the CVF. 
According to official documents and reports announced to the public by the Department of Information, the Canadian Volunteer Forces were made up of Canadians who enlisted for the United States showing proof of the annexation as a legitimate act of liberation and how Canada was accepting its status as "Little America", but this was pure propaganda. In reality, only one fourth of the soldiers were actually volunteers because they either had duel Canadian-American citizenship or had relatives in the United States. The majority of personnel were actually conscripts including captured Canadian soldiers and partisans forced into the U.S. Army to make up for depleted ranks as a result of the Alaskan Campaign's casualty rates. Many were also criminals from both the U.S. and Canada who were drafted into penal units and served as punishment for deserters in both the CVF and other U.S. Army units.
