  • 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.
