Building on the successes of a similar program at CFLRS in St Jean, Registered Dietitians and other Health Promotion staff have performed extensive research on existing programs, and held both face-to- face and virtual meetings in order to come up with the best possible program for the CAF. The team is now hard at work, developing a point system which would allow CANEX managers to identify foods as healthy, based on contents of protein, fibre, vitamins, calcium, calories, sodium, fat etc. Items deemed to be healthier options will be clearly identified both in vending machines and in stores. The idea is not to completely eliminate junk food, but merely to offer options and enable informed choices on behalf of consumers – there’s certainly nothing wrong with an occasional “treat” in the context of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. The working group expects that the program will be ready for launch and gradual implementation in the fall of 2016. 2 VOLUME 11, ISSUE 2 • SEPTEMBER 2016 • WWW.CFMWS.COM DFIT and field commitments following the regional training for the Fitness Profile Denis Couturier, Senior Manager Fitness & Sports, PSP HQ As you can appreciate there are many challenges opportunities to be used in support of local to organizing national meetings and training with recruiting efforts. field staff from across the CAF.

VOLUME 11, ISSUE 2 • SEPTEMBER 2016 • WWW.CFMWS.COM 3 Major Research and Development projects on the radar 1. Universality of Service review project 2. Updating the Fitness Profile: a. Validating the relationship between VO2max, FORCE performance and anthropometrics b. Updating the scoring for the incentive program based on 2016 FORMefit results 3. Search and Rescue Physical Fitness Maintenance Evaluation 4. FORCEcombat: a. Trainability of FORCEcombat after 12-weeks of dfit.ca and PSP b. Reliability: how many times do you need to perform the test before obtaining a stable performance c. Effects of Heat stress FORCECombat reliability Trials Tara Reilly, Senior Officer Human Performance, Research, PSP HQ Ottawa The development of FORCE combat (the new IBTS fitness objective) was the result of continued communication with CADTC, and completion of 3 research studies over the past 12 months; 2 investigating the physiological demands, and the latest trial investigating the reliability of repeated performances and the need for practice. These trials took place in May with 2CMBG in Petawawa. 32 participants attempted FORCEcombat at maximum effort 5 times. The result of the trial provides direction with regard to the need to perform 2 trials of practice before achieving the maximum capability. In August we will return to 2CMBG to investigate decrements on performance due to heat and potential for heat stress, and to Kingston with CADTC, to examine the effects of various methods of training (Dfit.ca, with guidance etc). PSP field staff support is always integral to the success of these projects. DFIT will propose FORCE combat implementation for Army Council (AC) in January 2017. 4 VOLUME 11, ISSUE 2 • SEPTEMBER 2016 • WWW.CFMWS.COM Fitness Profile - 3 months post launch update Looking back at the last 3 months since the launch of the fitness profile we are extremely pleased with implementation efforts. It is certainly not to say that we haven’t hit any “speed bumps” but we are working through them and certainly appreciate that field staff are too. While we expected a decrease in the number of FORCE Evaluations at the onset to incorporate new processes our outputs have remained relatively stable. In April, May and June about 20,000 FORCE Evaluations were completed. This certainly speaks to our combined efforts to make the transition to E-fit as smooth as possible. The importance of the PSP Fitness Regional training sessions held in Jan, Feb and Mar cannot be underestimated. Having field staff fully versed on the Fitness Profile and its benefits certainly increased CAF understanding, and helped alleviate some of the expected push back that usually comes with the implementation of new program tools and elements (Health Related Fitness). To date the concerns received from CAF personnal have most often been based on either misinformation or protocols/procedures not being followed. Ensuring that CAF Personnel and Leadership have accurate program information remains critical to our continued success as we shift some of our efforts to Fitness Reporting, Fitness Profile with Reserves, and the implementation of individual and group rewards.

You would think that those two words would put a damper on the efforts of over thirty members of 51 Aerospace Control & Warning (Operational Training) Squadron (51 AC&W (OT) Sqn) during the 22 Wing Cares roadside stop held on Wednesday, December 11th, however, nothing could be farther from the truth! “Everyone loves to come out to support this initiative,” explains Major Andrew Lunn, Commanding Officer of 51 AC&W (OT) Sqn. With a full complement of instructors, students and staff in attendance – and even Santa - asking motorists to give generously to the North Bay Food Bank, they collected $2690.23 in donations and 1330 lbs of food for a total of 4020 lbs of food (1 dollar = 1 lb of food). The brain child of Tom Hedican, international renowned hockey coach, 51 AC&W (OT) Sqn’s Honorary Colonel emeritus and creator of Coach4Food in 2008, the program is now under the banner of My Team Cares and coordinated by Debbie and Heath Marson. 2019 marks the ninth year that 22 Wing has, once again, stepped up to support those in greatest need, showing North Bay how much we care.

  • Circumpolar Military Facilities of the Arctic Five
    CIRCUMPOLAR MILITARY FACILITIES OF THE ARCTIC FIVE Ernie Regehr, O.C. Senior Fellow in Arctic Security The Simons Foundation Last updated: April 2, 2013 Introduction In 2011 the Canadian Senate Committee on Security and Defence, in its interim report on Arctic sovereignty and security, asked this question: “Is the region again becoming militarized?”1 It is that question that prompts the following compilation of current military facilities in the circumpolar region. The current list is confined to the five Arctic Ocean states, but the intention is to expand it to include all the states of the Arctic Council. A simple listing of military bases, facilities, and equipment, either based or available for deployment in the Arctic Region, does not itself answer the question of militarization, but the listing is intended to contribute to the informed consideration of it, and to informed assessments of the likely security implications of particular military procurement programs and developments. The objective is to aid efforts toward a better understanding of the extent and nature of current and planned military capacity in the Arctic. A later paper will address the “militarization” question more directly. What follows relies on a broad range of media, governmental, academic, and research centre sources, all of which are indicated in the footnotes. Of particular value and importance have been and are the following: Rob Huebert, “The Newly Emerging Arctic Security Environment,” March 2010, Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute. http://www.cdfai.org/PDF/The%20Newly%20Emerging%20Arctic%20Security%20Environment.pdf.
