Operation ALTAIR mainly consists of single ship deployments. HMCS Toronto , a Halifax-class patrol frigate with an embarked helicopter detachment, was the first ship to sail under Operation ALTAIR. She deployed from January to July 2004, sailing with the USS George Washington Carrier Strike Group. However, due to operational requirements elsewhere around the world, there may be periods when there is no Canadian maritime contribution to OEF.

Additionally, Canada's military contribution to the international campaign against terrorism from October 2001 to October 2003 was known as Operation APOLLO, which saw soldiers deployed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and ships deployed in the Persian Gulf region as well.
HMCS Calgary, HMCS Protecteur and HMCS Iroquois are currently deployed on OP Altaire.
