CANADIAN ARMED FORCES | i 2017-18 DEPARTMENTAL RESULTS REPORT ii | TABLE OF CONTENTS 2017-18 DEPARTMENTAL RESULTS REPORT Minister’s message It is my pleasure to present the Departmental Results Report for fiscal year 2017-18. This year we launched and started implementing Canada’s new defence policy – Strong, Secure, Engaged. The policy is a detailed, 20-year roadmap to help address our security and defence challenges. To ensure the women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces have the critical capabilities to meet those challenges, Strong, Secure, Engaged commits to the largest defence modernization in decades. We know that to achieve our objectives, the Defence Team must be properly resourced with stable, predictable, and realistic funding. That is why we have ensured our policy is rigorously costed and fully funded over its 20-year timeframe. Over the next 10 years, defence spending will grow to $32.7 billion – an increase of more than 70 percent. I am proud of how much the military and civilian members of the Defence Team accomplished to implement Strong, Secure, Engaged in its first year. Expanding resources for military families, modernizing and greening Defence infrastructure to reduce our carbon footprint, smart pledges to UN peace operations, and steps to ensure timely equipment procurement are just a few examples. At the same time, the Defence Team collectively contributed to missions to keep Canadians safe at home and to support global peace and stability. In Canada, that included more than 4600 military personnel assisting provinces when several communities across the country were affected by fires and floods. Worldwide, more than 7900 Canadian military personnel were engaged in over 20 operations, including in Latvia, Iraq and Ukraine. The work done and the work still to do to implement Strong, Secure, Engaged makes a real difference to the Defence Team’s well-being and operational effectiveness, as well as to Canada’s security and a more stable world. The pages ahead provide Canadians and parliamentarians with more information about the Defence Team’s accomplishments in 2017-18. Ultimately, the initiatives in Strong, Secure, Engaged are about supporting our people. Looking ahead, Canadians can be confident that we will continue to make the investments they will need to deliver on the important work Canada asks of them. Original signed by:

  • Stomperud I Bagdad
    Fagfellevurdert artikkel A˚ rgang 74 | Nr. 3 | 2016 | ISSN 1891-5580 Stomperud i Bagdad Cecilie Hellestveit*, PhD, Seniorforsker, International Law and Policy Institute Artikkelen foretar en analyse av Norges militære bidrag i Irak fra 2015 med utgangspunkt i folkerettens regler for militære utenlandsoppdrag. Artikkelen argumenterer for at de folkerettslige rammene for det norske militære bidraget i Irak pa˚ et par vesentlige punkter skiller seg fra andre nyere norske militære utenlandsoperasjoner. Den peker pa˚ tre utfordringer som det norske militære engasjementet i Irak derfor medfører: notoriteten til det militære oppdraget innad og utad, rettssikkerheten til norske soldater, og effektiviteten til soldater i en prekær rettslig situasjon. Stikkord: folkerett × maktbruk × Irak × Syria × IS × norske militære utlandsoperasjoner The article analyses the Norwegian military contribution to Iraq initiated in 2015 from the perspective of international law regulating military operations on foreign soil. It argues that this military operation is distinguished from other Norwegian military expeditions in recent decades. The article draws attention to three challenges that consequently arise: a low level of clarity concerning the nature and scope of the assignment, lack of legal guarantees calibrated to the tasks of the soldiers and finally poor efficiency resulting from a precarious legal situation. Innledning Den norske regjeringen besluttet i oktober 2014 a˚ sende 120 norske soldater til Irak for a˚ «bidra til a˚ trene opp irakiske sikkerhetsstyrker» (Solberg 2014). Fra april 2015 er en kontingent stasjonert i den kurdiske provinshovedstaden Irbil, formelt underlagt sikkerhetsstyrkene til den autonome kurdiske regionen i Nord-Irak (KRG), mens en annen er stasjonert i hovedstaden Bagdad. Militærpersonalet skal støtte irakiske sentralmyndigheter og kurdiske regionale myndigheter i kampen for a˚ gjenerobre territorium fra organisasjonen Islamsk Stat (IS), som i 2015 kontrollerte ca.

Burke Chair in Strategy With the Assistance of Adam Mausner Revised, May 10, 2007 Cordesman: Iraqi Force Development 5/10/07 Page ii Executive Summary Iraq has moved far beyond a Sunni Islamist or Ba’ath-driven insurgency. It is already in a state of limited civil war, and may well be escalating to the level of a major civil conflict. What began as a small resistance movement centered on loyalists to the Ba’ath and Saddam Hussein has expanded to include neo-Salafi Sunni terrorism, a broadly based Sunni insurgency, and now a series of broader sectarian and ethnic conflicts. The current combination of Sunni Neo-Salafi extremist insurgency, Sunni Arab versus Shi’ite Arab sectarian conflict, Shi’ite versus Shi’ite power struggles, and Arab versus Kurdish ethnic conflict could easily cause the collapse of the current political structure. In the best case, it could lead to a Shi’ite or Shi’ite-Kurdish dominated government, with strong local centers of power, and an ongoing fight with Iraq’s Sunnis. In the worst case, it could escalate to the break up of the country, far more serious ethnic and sectarian conflict, or violent paralysis.
