The Halifax Rifles (RCAC) is a Canadian Army regiment that served between the years of 1860 and 1965 before being reduced to nil strength and placed on the Supplementary Order of Battle.

The unit draws its history from the 19th century Halifax Volunteer Battalion which was active at the time of the Fenian Raids.

[3] Details of the 63rd Regiment "Halifax Rifles" were placed on active service on 6 August 1914 for local protective duty.

[4] Since 2015, Army Reserve units have been assigned specific mission tasks,[5] in addition to traditional military duties.

By their Canadian Forces organization order (CFOO),[6] a squadron of up to 52 members will be trained in the employment of population group influence techniques, including psychological operations and civil-military co-operation, to provide behavioural and psychological effects on those populations in support of a commander’s intent or mission.
