That would be the greatest mistake. If we dismantle the AFP then who will coordinate each command in times of war? They would just do as each other wish and also each branch would try to show off.

The AFP is there so that all the service can move as one and be ordered as one.

Exactly. The DND is a civilian agency. It has no capability to effectively command and control three separate branches of military service. Yes, civilian authority is supreme, but leave the fighting and the quick decisive decision making that is necessary for waging war to those who are actually trained for it.

Imagine how we would fight our wars if it has to be approved by a committee that will have to wait for a recommendation from a collegiate body that is only present during office hours.

The DND is only a supervisory body. It plans and outlines the administrative requirements of the AFP. Lets leave it at that..
