ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This collective aims to bring together the different research challenges that have been undertaken by researchers from across Canada on the topic of military and veteran health. The researchers who contributed to this volume were part of the second Military and Veteran Health Research (MVHR) Fo- rum that took place in November 2011, hosted by Queen’s University and the Royal Military College of Canada (RMCC) in Kingston, Ontario, under the auspices of the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research (CIMVHR). This volume is one of the many ways CIMVHR is connecting researchers, government stakeholders, and, most importantly, the beneficiaries – still serving military members of the Canadian Forces (CF), veterans and their families – through knowledge exchange while also working towards our mis- sion: To optimize the health and well-being of Canadian military personnel, veterans and their families by harnessing and mobilizing the national capacity for high-impact research, knowledge creation and knowledge exchange. A special thank you is extended to our interim Board of Directors; without their support, CIMVHR could not undertake such high impact projects as the annual Forum and the publication of the best research it showcased. Our sincere word of gratitude to the Chair of the Board, Ms. Susan Marlin, As- sociate Vice Principal Research at Queen’s University; Dr. Jean Fugère, Vice Principal Research, RMCC; Dr. Jennifer Medves, Director of the School of Nursing and Associate Dean, Faculty of Health Science at Queen’s University; Mr. Michael Brennan, Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association; and Dr. Heidi Sveistrup, Vice Principal Research and Professor in Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Ottawa. A special thank you is also extended to our Technical Advisory Committee, especially the Canadian Forces Surgeon General, Commodore Hans Jung, his successor Brigadier-General Jean-Robert Bernier and his advisor Lieutenant-Colonel Rob Poisson; Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) Director of the Research Directorate, Dr. David Pedlar, and his research team Dr. Jim Thompson and Mr. Stewart MacIntosh; the Director of the Defence and Secu- rity Research Institute (DSRI), Dr. Jacques Lavigne, and the scientists of De- fence Research Development Canada (DRDC), especially Dr. Kurtis Simpson. Without your support it would not have been possible to create this volume. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Editors would also like to thank the mentor and co-chair of CIMVHR Implementation Committee, Brigadier-General (Ret’d) William Richard who has dedicated endless hours to the development of CIMVHR, to the planning of the MVHR Forum and in engaging the Canadian community. Many aspects of this project would not have been possible without the com- bined support of Queen’s University, Principal Daniel Woolf and Dr. Steven Liss, Vice Principal Research, and of the RMCC, Brigadier-General Eric Tremblay, the Commandant, Principal Joel Sokolsky, as well as Dr. Jean Fugère, Vice Principal Research. Kingston is the hub of the Institute, its Forum and its collective; but even more important are the collaborative efforts of all our university partners. Beyond a hectic research and publication program, 26 universities (and counting) from all provinces are joining us in collaborating in Military and Veteran Health Research. This has an extremely high impact on our goals of increasing the health and well-being of military members, veterans and their families, as well as educating the first responders to this community that is spread throughout Canada. We would also like to acknowledge the support and patience of our MVHR College of Peer Reviewers; Dr. Allan English, Department of History, Queen’s University; Dr. Michael Greenwood, Department of Chemistry, RMCC; Dr. Dianne Groll, Department of Psychiatry, Queen’s University; Dr. Kate Harkness, Department of Psychology, Queen’s University; Dr. Cheryl King Van-Vlack, School of Rehabilitation Therapy, Queen’s University; Dr. Méla- nie Lavoie-Tremblay, School of Nursing, McGill University; Dr. Christian Leuprecht, Department of Politics and Economics, RMCC; Dr. Bob Mar- tyn, Fellow, Queen’s Centre for International and Defence Policy; Dr. Mary Ann McColl, Centre for Health Services and Policy Research, Queen’s Uni- versity; Dr. Bradford McFadyen, Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche en réadaptation et intégration sociale (CIRRIS), Université Laval; Dr. Richard Morchat, DSRI; Dr. Lucie Pelland, School of Rehabilitation Therapy, Queen’s University; Dr. Heidi Sviestrup, Professor in Rehabilitation Sciences, Uni- versity of Ottawa; Dr. Elizabeth Taylor, Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta; Gordon Asmundson, Faculty of Arts, University of Regina; Luc Noreau, CIRRIS; Dr. Alain Beaulieu, Electrical and Comput- er Engineering, RMCC; Dr. Richard Birtwhistle, Director of the Centre for Studies in Primary Care, Faculty of Health Sciences, Queen’s University; ii A NEW COALITION FOR A CHALLENGING BATTLEFIELD: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dr. Anne Fenety, Faculty of Health Professions, Dalhousie University; Dr. James Gomes, Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa; Dr. Luc Hébert, Faculty of Medicine, Université Laval; Dr. Geoffrey Hodgetts, School of Medicine, Queen’s University; Dr. Roumen Milev, Head of the Department of Psychiatry, Queen’s University; Dr. Deborah Norris, Facul- ty of Professional Studies, Mount Saint Vincent University; Dr. David Pedlar, Director of Research, VAC; Dr. Jitender Sareen, Faculty of Medicine, Univer- sity of Manitoba; Dr. Heather Stuart, Faculty of Health Sciences, Queen’s Uni- versity; Dr. Jim Thompson, Research Directorate, VAC; and Dr. Patrick Neary, Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies, University of Regina. The opportunity to create a volume such as this would not exist without the leadership and logistical support of the Canadian Defence Academy (CDA) Press, particularly the CDA Press Program Manager, Mélanie Denis. The Chairman of the CDA Press, Colonel Bernd Horn, is keenly aware of the im- portance of providing an opportunity for the academic community and our military members, past and present, to exchange knowledge and share experi- ences. He has provided ready access to the resources of CDA Press to see this volume through to completion, a contribution that is extremely important to us, as we are proud of this joint venture that is extremely meaningful to CIMVHR. As editors, we are very proud of the final product. The copy editing and layout were handled with expertise by 17 Wing Publishing Office. We would also like to thank for their support Lauren Hanlon, Angela Whitehead, Parth Bhow- mick and Filza Naveed: their professionalism and attention to detail have helped bring this book to completion. The edit, layout and design of both the content and the cover of this manuscript have resulted in a volume in which we can all take great pride. But none of this would have been possible without the great support that we have from our military colleagues, from the community of veterans that have approached us in the past few years, and from their families who also provided us with great inspiration. If they did not believe in it, who would? Thank you. MILITARY AND VETERAN HEALTH RESEARCH iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. i FOREWORD.

  • RMC Commission Report Final
    REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON GOVERNANCE OF THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE OF CANADA Commissioned by the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) April 2013 Dr. Elinor Sloan Dr. Robin Boadway LCol (Retired) Steve Nash BACKGROUND AND MEMBERS 1. The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) set up the Commission on Governance of the Royal Military College of Canada in September 2012. The CAUT decided to create a commission because of a number of governance concerns brought to its attention by the Canadian Military Colleges Faculty Association (CMCFA), one of approximately 125 University Faculty Associations across Canada that are part of CAUT. These concerns were outlined in a letter sent to the Minister of National Defence in May 2012, which concluded by stating that the CAUT would be striking a blue-ribbon Commission of Inquiry to investigate the situation at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMCC).1 2. The commission members are Dr. Robin Boadway, David Chadwick Chair in Economics at Queen’s University; LCol (retired) Steve Nash (Infantry, Royal Canadian Regiment); and Dr. Elinor Sloan, Professor of International Relations at Carleton University. All commissioners are graduates of RMCC, are in favour of RMCC remaining as a university degree granting institution for the Canadian Forces (CF), and accept the complex and unique nature of RMCC as Canada’s only federal university with a special role to the Crown and the Canadian Forces. 3. The commissioners have had a mix of experiences in education, research and governance at the Canadian military colleges. Boadway was a full-time lecturer at RMCC for two years, and was a member of the Minister’s Advisory Board, the predecessor of the Board of Governors.

  • 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.
