The CDA is also the body that will institutionalize and maintain the momentum behind these reforms, which contribute to the CF’s professional-development strategic objectives. Key among these objectives is fostering intellectual development and critical thinking within Canada’s military, and the transformation of the CF into a learning organization. “Professional development,” explained General Raymond Henault, the former Chief of the Defence Staff, “is at the heart of the profession of arms. The Canadian Defence Academy will play a vital role in the reform and transformation of our professional standards and competencies.” The publication of this book is an initiative under the strategic leadership writing project of the Canadian Forces Leadership Institute and should stimulate debate about the profession of arms in Canada. Readers are invited to join the debate and make their own contribution to military professionalism in this country. Major-General Paul Hussey Commander, Canadian Defence Academy THE OPERATIONAL ART v Operational Art_2.qxd 10/30/06 2:33 PM Page vi Operational Art_2.qxd 10/30/06 2:33 PM Page vii PREFACE PREFACE The Operational Art: Canadian Perspectives — Leadership and Command was commissioned by the Canadian Forces Leadership Institute as part of its strategic leadership writing project, which is designed to compile a body of knowledge relating to Canadian military leadership (that is, past, present and future) that can be used by Canadian Forces educational and training institutions to generate effective military leaders, as well as educate the public. It is our intent that Canadian officers have the opportunity to learn from Canadian examples. After all, although our military culture and experience, for instance, is different from that of our close allies the Americans and the British, it is equally rich and distinctive. In this vein, The Operational Art: Canadian Perspectives — Leadership and Command is a seminal work that comes on the heels of and complements the Canadian Forces College’s The Operational Art: Canadian Perspectives — Context and Concepts. It examines arguably the most essential component of the operational art, namely, leadership and command. Importantly, its chapters are written by a wide array of authors who span the gamut from practitioner to theoretician. In the end, these diverse individuals with both practical experience and theoretical knowledge bring insight and depth to the discussion. I believe you will find The Operational Art: Canadian Perspectives — Leadership and Command to be a stimulating addition to the Canadian Defence Academy Press collection. It deals with such dynamic topics as the differing leadership styles in the three distinctive environments, the complex operating environment, the evolution of combined and joint command structures, as well as leadership and command on expeditionary operations. This volume is sure to expand your knowledge and fuel the Canadian discourse on the operational art. Colonel Bernd Horn Director, Canadian Forces Leadership Institute THE OPERATIONAL ART vii Operational Art_2.qxd 10/30/06 2:33 PM Page viii Operational Art_2.qxd 10/30/06 2:33 PM Page ix INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Allan English Commissioned by the Canadian Forces Leadership Institute, The Operational Art: Canadian Perspectives — Leadership and Command was written to complement The Operational Art: Canadian Perspectives — Context and Concepts, which was published by the Canadian Defence Academy Press in 2005 and based on work done by staff and students at the Canadian Forces College (CFC) in Toronto. Its purpose was to offer perspectives on distinct Canadian approaches to the operational art, based on our national and military culture and historical experience. Leadership and Command focuses on specific aspects, and arguably the most important aspects, of operational art: leadership and command. Given the nature of the topic, the contributions come not only from papers written by staff or students at CFC, but also from a more diverse group of authors. Therefore, this volume includes contributions by a serving Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS), General Rick Hillier, and a former CDS who is now Chairman of the Military Committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, General Ray Henault. Other military professionals, some of whom wrote their contributions while staff or students at CFC, bring further practitioners’ insights to leadership and command and the operational art. These practitioners’ insights are complemented by a new offering by two of Canada’s leading theoreticians of command, Ross Pigeau and Carol McCann from Defence Research and Development Canada, Toronto. The field of contributors is rounded out by Canadian academics whose fields of expertise are related to the subject of this book. In Chapter One, I begin by examining differences in leadership among the army, navy, and air force, based on differences in national and service cultures. I conclude that even in the unified Canadian Forces (CF), where a significant amount of training and education is conducted in a joint envi- ronment, leaders have different “masks of command” based on their expe- rience as junior officers in the Canadian Army, Navy or Air Force. These different masks of command can be distinguished by, among other things, varying proportions of “heroic” and “technical” styles of leadership. THE OPERATIONAL ART ix Operational Art_2.qxd 10/30/06 2:33 PM Page x INTRODUCTION Chapters Two to Four deal with theoretical aspects of leadership, command and the operational art. In Chapter Two, Richard Gimblett examines naval command and leadership, focussing on command styles found in the Canadian Navy. He argues that the nature of operations at sea defines many aspects of naval command and that national cultures and each navy’s experience also shape naval command styles. Gimblett concludes that the

THE EDITOR’S DESK Editing Pro Patria 2010 has given me the opportunity to vicariously experience a year in the life of a great institution, The Royal Canadian Regiment. It was a wonderful adventure and, I would have to say, a daunting challenge. Any success I have enjoyed in this endeavour is in large measure attributable to a handful of very gifted and dedicated people. First and foremost among these is my predecessor as Regimental Adjutant, Captain Tim Robinson. Every facet of this Regimental appointment has been stamped with the imprint of his huge energy, incredible work ethic and dynamic character. This is cer- tainly the case with the Pro Patria magazine. This publication is very much the ongoing product of his innovative vision and dedication to our Regiment. A previous Regimental Adjutant and editor of Pro Patria, Captain Mike O’Leary, has also been a tremendous source of advice, help and inspiration.

  • Whom to Obey?: the Dilemma for the NATO ISAF Commander, May 2006
    Whom to Obey ? : The Dilemma for the NATO ISAF Commander, May 2006 – February 2007 By Brian Babcock-Lumish “True professionals, first and foremost, talk command and control, then logistics and then tactics”. 1 British Army General Sir David Richards As the commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), British Army General David Richards (hereafter, “Richards”) served from May 2006 to February 2007 as the commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) on behalf of NATO and a wider coalition under United Nations 2 (UN) auspices. By the ARRC’s arrival in 2006, ISAF was a 37-member “coalition of the 3 willing” built around a core of the then 26-member NATO Alliance. As the Commander, ISAF (COMISAF), Richards reported solely to NATO in Belgium, despite wearing a British uniform and the United Kingdom controlling his appointment to the post and its duration.4 Importantly for this article, little research has been done to explore the complexities of multinational chains of command from the perspective of a “single-hatted” multinational commander with “double-hatted” national contingent commanders (NCC’s) reporting in both national and multinational chains of command.5 Prior to Richards’ command, ISAF expanded its geographic responsibility in the first two of four stages from the Afghan capital Kabul to the north (stage 1) and west (stage 2) in 2004-2005. During Richards’ tenure, the expansion continued counter-clockwise to the south (stage 3) and east (stage 4) in 2006 (see Figure 1, next page). Commensurate with the geographic expansion, ISAF gradually grew in troop strength, with reinforcements coming from both outside the theatre and the American-led Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) coalition already in-theatre.
