  • The Order of Military Merit to Corporal R
    Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.

  • IN SEARCH of MINERVA's OWL Canada‟S Army and Staff
    IN SEARCH OF MINERVA’S OWL Canada‟s Army and Staff Education (1946-1995) by HOWARD GERARD COOMBS A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2010 Copyright © Howard Gerard Coombs, 2010 ABSTRACT The intellectual history of the Canadian Army from 1946 to 1995 can be traced through the curriculum utilized by the Canadian Army Staff College and the Canadian Forces College to educate the Canadian Army staff officer in conducting warfare within theatres of war. This body of knowledge was analogous to what today comprises the operational level of war. It is a structured vision of conducting conflict that was reaffirmed and sustained by institutional memory created in the crucible of the Second World War and traces its antecedents to the military operations of the Napoleonic Age. These ideas were preserved almost unchanged throughout the Cold War until the introduction of operational art in the late 1980s, as a result of United States influence. The ability of the Canadian Army to maintain this professional knowledge, as a coherent, unchanging whole throughout a period buffeted by social and political change indicates the separateness of the military profession within Canada. This arose from the absence of consistent and durable political guidance during the immediate post war era. As a result the use of the Canadian military as an instrument of national power became disjointed. By default, the unifying factor in Canadian defence activities was maintaining relevance within alliances, particularly in supporting the Pax Americana.

  • Canadian Forces Transformation: Institutional Leadership As a Catalyst for Change
    MICHAEL K. J LIEUTENANT-GENERAL (RETIRED) MICHAEL K. JEFFERY The 1990s proved to be a turbulent period for the Canadian Forces (CF). The early years of the new millennium were equally as challenging, as the CF EFFERY was engaged in operations in Afghanistan and around the globe. What was clear was that the contemporary security environment had changed. As such, there was a requirement for the CF to transform to meet the new operating environment. I NSIDE INSIDE In 2005, the Minister of National Defence provided the incoming Chief of the Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier, with the resources and opportunity to CANADIAN FORCES undertake a CF Transformation. Given his firm belief that the CF needed to C ANADIAN FORCES change, and by nature a risk taker, General Hillier embraced the opportunity. TRANSFORMATION: This book describes the initial years of the formal CF Transformation that was led by General Hillier. It is a superb case study of a seminal point in CF history. INSTITUTIONAL LEADERSHIP AS A CATALYST FOR CHANGE Written by former Chief of the Land Staff, Lieutenant-General Michael Jeffery, who himself implemented a strategy of change for the Canadian army and who witnessed first-hand the process of CF Transformation, it captures both the considerable success, but also the difficulties of the process.

  • Honourable Paul T. Hellyer BIOGRAPHY
    Honourable Paul T. Hellyer BIOGRAPHY Paul Theodore Hellyer, born 6 August 1923, is an engineer, politician, writer and commentator who has had a long and varied career. He is the longest serving current member of the Privy Council of Canada, just ahead of Prince Philip. Paul Hellyer was Canada’s youngest Member of Parliament when he was first elected in 1949 and the youngest cabinet minister appointed to Louis S. St. Laurent’s government eight years later. Although Hellyer is best known for the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces and for his 1968 chairmanship of the Task Force on Housing and Urban Development, he has maintained a life-long interest in macroeconomics. This led him to form Action Canada, a populist movement dedicated to the concepts of full employment and low inflation with an emphasis on quality-of-life issues. Through the years, as a journalist and political commentator, he has continued to fight for economic reforms and has written several books on the subject. A man of many interests, Hellyer’s ideas are not classroom abstractions. He was born and raised on a farm and his business experience includes manufacturing, retailing, construction, land development, tourism and publishing. He has also been active in community affairs including the arts and studied voice at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. His multi-faceted career, in addition to a near-lifetime in politics, gives Hellyer a rare perspective on what has gone wrong with world economies. Paul Hellyer currently resides in Toronto. He has three children and five grandchildren. .
