Lieutenant-Colonel (LCol) John Roper, Commanding Officer (CO) MSS presided over the Change of Appointment (CoA) ceremony. The event was witnessed in person by the 22 Wing Leadership Team and virtual participants. On reflection of his time with the squadron, CWO Levesque thanked all of the personnel who supported him over the past two years. He stated how grateful he was to be the first MSS CWO and for working with a plethora of leaders on the base during his time. He commended the MSS team as a hardworking group that wear a multitude of hats to meet the mission’s needs. He thanked the MSS team for their support during his tenure as the MSS CWO. LCol Roper thanked CWO Levesque for his advice, dedication and leadership during his time in the squadron, stating that the MSS is in a better place as a result of his efforts as the squadron chief. The CO then went on to welcome me and my family to a wonderful team of professionals and hardworking members of the MSS. He is truly looking forward to building the leadership bond and taking the MSS to new heights. Then, it was my turn to address the audience. I thanked the RCAF for selecting me for this position as the MSS CWO. Turning to the squadron members, I offered a few words of advice: Encourage leaders at all levels to model their behaviour to what they expect from their subordinates; Take personal accountability and to hold those around them accountable; Be honest and transparent; and finally Be inclusive of the diverse teams we serve alongside. Lastly, I highlighted the importance of teamwork, “as we forge a new way forward as the Mission Support Squadron, we will not do this alone”. -------------------------------------------- Le vendredi 25 septembre 2020, l’adjudant-chef (adjuc) Albert Levesque m’a cédé son poste d’adjudantchef de l’escadron de soutien de mission (Esc Sout Msn).

    2 Joining the Reserves What is the Reserve Force? The Reserve Force is a large branch of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

The name was changed in 2013 to give a truer sense of the purpose of our troops. Who joins the Reserve Force? People join the Reserves for many different reasons. Some want adventure, a chance to serve others, a challenge, or a second income. However, something all Reservists have in common is a wish to serve their country. A career in the Canadian Armed Forces is a call to duty. The soldiers, sailors, airmen, and airwomen who answer this call want to help others, and they are determined to defend and protect what they believe in.

In the Canadian Armed Forces, we say that military families are the Strength Behind the Uniform.

  • CANADIAN MILITARY LAW SENTENCING UNDER the NATIONAL DEFENCE ACT." PERSPECTIVES and MUSINGS of a FORMER SOLDIER Colonel (Ret.) Me Michel W
    39 1 CANADIAN MILITARY LAW SENTENCING UNDER THE NATIONAL DEFENCE ACT." PERSPECTIVES AND MUSINGS OF A FORMER SOLDIER Colonel (Ret.) Me Michel W. Drapeau' Ottawa The Canadian Charter ofRights and Freedoms recognizes the existence of the militaryjustice system and its own tribunals operating in parallel to the Canadian criminal law system. Yet, there continues to be an absolutepaucity of any reference works on military law and members of the Canadian military bar are seldom heard or read. This article aims atfilling the void, at least in part. In writing this article, the author, who servedfor 34 years in general staff and command positions in the Canadian Forces, had two general purposes in mind: a) to present the general reader with a general overview ofthe history, customs, organization, and structure ofthe military personnel system, and b) to provide a reference work presenting a detailed view ofthe Code ofMilitary Discipline, both in its contents and its workings. Finally, in light ofthe extensive changes in 1999 to the National Defence Act and the accompanying regulations, the author concludes by reviewing the nature and impact of each of the punishments that may be imposed by a military tribunal or the Court Martial Appeal Court ofCanada to those who are subject to the Code ofService Discipline. La Charte canadienne des droits et libertés reconnaît la eo-existence d'un système de justice militaire avec ses propres tribunaux en parallèle avec le droit pénal canadien. Cependant, même si de nombreux livres ont décrit et interprété l'histoire militaire canadienne, il existe présentement aucun ouvrage sur le droit militaire et les praticiens de ce droit se font que très rarement entendre.
