The Royal Canadian Horse Artillery is the name given to the regular field artillery units of the Canadian Army. The RCHA is the senior unit of the Canadian regular forces, with a history dating back to the birth of Canada as a nation. 'A' and 'B' Batteries of Garrison Artillery were formed as the first units of Canada's permanent military force in 1871 in Kingston and Quebec City respectively, with a third ('C' Battery) authorized in 1883 and formed in 1887 in Esquimalt. These bore the name of the Regiment of Canadian Artillery, with the Royal Canadian Artillery being formed as the militia element in 1895. In 1905, to distinguish between the regular force and militia, the regulars were given the title Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. Today, the regular force encompasses three RCHA regiments:

1st Regiment, RCHA: this is the descendant of the original batteries of artillery formed in 1871, and is thus the senior unit in the Canadian Armed Forces. Currently, this regiment is part of Land Force Western Area's 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group.
2nd Regiment, RCHA: 2RCHA was formed in 1950 for service in the Korean War. 2RCHA is part of Land Force Central Area's 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group.
5^e Régiment d'artillerie légère du Canada: 5RALC is the francophone element of the regular artillery, and was formed in 1968. 5RALC is part of Land Force Quebec Area's 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group.
