    "Canada also contributed to the coalition air effort in OIF in the form of three airlifters, but did not deploy any combat aircraft.", https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RR1200/RR1214/RAND_RR1214.pdf

    "Canada's relation to the Iraq War that began in 2003 was unlike Canada's role in the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan because it was far less direct. About a hundred Canadian exchange officers, on exchange to American units, participated in the invasion of Iraq." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_and_the_Iraq_War#cite_note-Gollom-2)
