  • Юконский гарнизон (изначально Полевые Войска Юкона, англ. Yukon Field Force, фр. Force de campagne du Yukon) — боевое подразделение Постоянных сил канадской милиции, состоявшее из 203 офицеров и солдат, которые служили в Юконе с 1898 по 1900 год. Данное подразделение было создано во время Клондайкской золотой лихорадки из опасений, что Соединённые Штаты Америки могут попытаться захватить регион. Личный состав покинул Оттаву 6 мая 1898 года, отправившись по железной дороге к морю в порт Гленора в Британской Колумбии. Оттуда отряд проделал трудный путь в 890 километров пешком и на самодельных лодках до Форта-Селкерк, где они основали свой штаб. Отряд из 72 человек был направлен в центр бума город Доусон-Сити для поддержки Северо-Западной конной полиции, в обязанности которой входила охрана з (ru)
