  • The Feasibility of Providing Periodic Health Assessments to All Primary Reservists
    A STUDY BY THE DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE AND CANADIAN FORCES OMBUDSMAN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CANADIAN FORCES HEALTH SERVICES GROUP JUNE 2015 The Feasibility of Providing Periodic Health Assessments to All Primary Reservists The Feasibility of Providing Periodic Health Assessments to All Primary Reservists June 2015 Office of the DND/CF Ombudsman Executive Summary For the last quarter of a century Reservists have participated in expeditionary operations in the Balkans, the Middle East and Africa, and humanitarian crises such as in Haiti and the Philippines, largely as augmentees to the Regular Force. Although it is almost impossible to predict the future needs of the Armed Forces, contemporary global conflicts indicate that Reservists will continue to be integrated into future expeditionary missions. Also, Reserve Forces are increasingly tasked during domestic operations such as providing security at international events and responding to natural disasters. Reservists are ideal for missions within Canada as they are located in communities throughout the country. The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) depend on their Reserve elements for arctic and coastal defence. Notwithstanding the increased requirement to employ Reservists on expeditionary and domestic operations, it is imperative to ensure that Reserve Force members are fit to conduct regular training and exercises, which is at times challenging and strenuous. Universality of Service mandates that all Primary Reservists must be free of medical conditions that would limit their ability to be employed and deployed. Further still, commanding officers are responsible for the health and wellbeing of Reservists under their charge, and must attest yearly that their personnel are medically fit.

Hartzell* Introduction International peacekeeping' deployments have become more frequent in recent times. More peacekeeping missions will undoubtedly be needed as the collapse of communism and the resurfacing of ethnic rivalries reshape the world.2 As the number of international peacekeeping deployments increase, the need for peacekeeping troops will also increase. Simultane- ously, the end of the Cold War places great fiscal pressure on nations to reduce expenditures on armed forces.3 One method of maintaining a rela- tively large and accessible military force is for nations to rely more heavily on reserve augmentation of the active duty military forces. This Note will review, compare, and contrast the statutory frameworks for reserve force mobilization in the United States and Canada.

  • The D E F ENCE TEAM
    EDIT DRDC-RDDC-2015-P120 Canada’s defence establishment is a unique organization, comprising two distinct E MAY 2015 D BY: institutions: the civilian-led Department of National Defence (DND), headed by the Deputy Minister of National Defence, and the military-led Canadian Armed Forces GOLDENBER (CAF), headed by the Chief of the Defence Staff. In practice, however, civilian and military personnel – collectively referred to as the Defence Team – work side by side in a variety of contexts, including on bases, on operations, in military academic settings, and at National Defence Headquarters. G , FEBBRARO & These highly integrated workforces allow Canada’s defence establishment to draw on the complementary expertise of military and civilian personnel. Nonetheless, some fundamental differences exist between the military and civilian institutions, most notably separate personnel management systems and distinct cultures that reflect the D different histories, values, roles and policies of Defence civilians and CAF members. EAN Understanding the unique benefits and challenges associated with this integrated workforce is therefore critical to optimal military-civilian personnel collaboration. THE This volume presents conceptual, empirical and historical analyses of the key contextual, organizational and interpersonal factors that influence collaboration between civilian and military personnel in DND and the CAF. The volume will appeal to a diverse audience, including Defence Team personnel, senior leaders in DND and the CAF, human resource professionals, military managers of civilian D personnel and civilian managers of military personnel, and a more general audience interested in workgroup and organizational diversity. The volume furthers our E understanding of military-civilian partnerships and will contribute to the discourse F on the evolution of the Defence Team within Canada.
