RMC THE UNIVERSITY Introduction The Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) is a national university for educating and developing leaders committed to serving Canada. To achieve this goal, the demands of an RMC education go beyond academic achievement. For officer cadets of the Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP) or the University Training Plan - Non-Commissioned Members (UTPNCM), the RMC degree consists of four interlocking pillars: Academics, Military, Physical Fitness and Bilingualism, each of which is incorporated throughout the formal and informal elements of the RMC programme. Long-standing co-operative ventures with Queen's have now been extended to undergraduate courses. Cadets at RMC and students at Queen's may now, subject to departmental approval, take undergraduate courses at the other institution and count these courses as credits towards their degrees. Normally, the choice of courses will be limited to third and fourth year courses. For members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) who undertake their undergraduate studies at RMC through correspondence, on site, at a distance, or at the RMC campus, the RMC degree provides them with the same fundamental philosophical foundation as the officer cadets who complete their studies through one of the subsidized education programmes. For non-military students, in addition to benefiting from the philosophy governing the four interlocking pillars, an RMC education provides them with fundamental Canadian values and international values cherished by nations of the free world. ROLE The primary role of the Royal Military College of Canada is to educate and develop Canadians into leaders committed to serving the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Canada. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the Royal Military College of Canada are: 1. To prepare and motivate Canadians for effective service as commissioned officers in the Canadian Armed Forces by: a. providing a university education in both official languages in appropriate disciplines designed on a broad base to meet the unique needs of the Forces, b. developing qualities of leadership, c. developing a high standard of personal physical fitness, and d. stimulating an awareness of the ethic of the military profession; 2. To improve in appropriate fields the educational background of students who are commissioned officers in the Canadian Armed Forces by providing undergraduate and post-graduate courses in both official languages; and 3. To foster and encourage faculty participation in research in order to sustain academic excellence. Research with a defence focus is encouraged. The goal is to produce military leaders dedicated to serving Canada, who are motivated, well educated, ethical, bilingual and physically fit. The Four Pillars of an RMC Education ACADEMICS The academics pillar fosters the critical intellectual skills required to understand the complexities of living in the 21st century. The academic programme emphasizes the practical applications of what has been learned to military settings and daily operational demands. All degree programmes offered at RMC are designed to provide a sound, balanced, liberal, scientific and military education. MILITARY The demands of an officer in today's complex rapidly changing security environment are significant. Thus, the military pillar develops those personal skills and abilities that lead to success in most of life's endeavours. Leadership training provided by the RMC experience will help students, as they begin their studies at RMC and along with other experiences, prepare them to make difficult decisions under stressful conditions through deeper understanding of the factors affecting their role as a leader. The nature of military leadership and military operations necessitates an in-depth understanding of human behaviour. Therefore, studies in military psychology and leadership are part of the required academic curriculum. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of personal integrity, ethical behaviour, and professional responsibility. PHYSICAL FITNESS Under the physical fitness pillar, RMC teaches students the importance of fitness and developing a healthy lifestyle as a lifelong endeavour. Striving for a higher level of physical fitness can inspire those around them and has been shown to improve one's quality of life and learning. Officer Cadets are required to take part in the physical education programme designed to achieve and maintain a high level of fitness and to learn the basic fundamentals in a wide variety of team and individual sports. BILINGUALISM The bilingualism pillar reflects Canada's cultural heritage. As representatives of this heritage, officers are expected to be fluent in both of Canada's official languages - English and French. Your responsibilities as an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces will require you to lead young Canadians that are primarily Anglophone or francophone. RMC has been training officers to communicate effectively in both French and English for well over 30 years. RMC helps make this learning process an interesting one with class time as well as integration into daily life at RMC. Post Nominal: Only students in ROTP or RETP who successfully complete the four interlocking pillars, which includes one of the following acceptable degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science (Honours), or Bachelor of Engineering,

  • Canadian Airmen and the First World War
    Canadian Airmen and the First World War S.F. WISE The first of four projected volumes of the Official History of the Royal Canadian Air Force, this book provides the definitive story of Canadian airmen in World War I and, more­ over, a revisionist account of the war in the air. Organized topically, this volume begins with an overview of military aviation in Canada prior to 1914, as successful aircraft experiments like Baldwin's and McCurdy's Silver Dart are set against Defence Minister Sam Hughes' rejec­ tion of any government air policy. Financial timidity and political uncertainty subsequently decreed that the 20,000 Canadians who trained for, or fought in, history's first air war would have no air force of their own but would fly in the British flying services. The sections which follow show that Cana­ dians excelled in every aspect of the air war. Indeed, although the First World War never saw an exclusively Canadian squadron in action and no Canadian rose to a command above Group level, Professor Wise has been able to write a full account of the war in the air from the Canadian perspective. Recruitment and training, the maritime air war, the strategic bombing of Germany and the defence of Great Britain, as well as action on the Western Front, in Italy, and in Macedonia, are all covered in depth. Each section reveals the complexity of air operations, as tactics, strategy, and aircraft evolved with astonishing speed. The exploits of remarkable fighter aces such as Billy Bishop, Raymond Collishaw, D.R. Maclaren and W.G.
