THE GOVERNMENT's No. 1 THE GOVERNMENT’S No. 1 JOB Securing the Military Options It Needs to Protect Canadians An Interim Report of the Senate Committee on National Security and Defence June 2006 Dedicated To Senator J. Michael Forrestall (1932 – 2006) SENATOR FORRESTALL VISITING THE CANADIAN FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN On behalf of the Committee, I would like to take a moment to remember Senator Michael Forrestall. Mike was a kind, warm man and a friend to all Canadians. He served as the Deputy Chair of this Committee. He was a driving force behind the reports we have produced over the past five years, ensuring that no area of concern was neglected. Although he was a fiercely partisan politician in his years of the House of Commons, when he came to the Senate he recognized that one of the Upper Chamber’s great values is its ability to tackle issues on a thoughtful, non-partisan basis. The Committee’s success over the past five years is in large part attributable to this non-partisan spirit. Mike was instrumental in setting that tone. One measure of the man is how appreciative he was of Committee staff – always ready with a greeting, a wink, a word of advice or a thank you. The long hours Committee members have sometimes been forced to spend travelling and in deliberative sessions in recent years were leavened by his gentleness and humour, punctuated by his passion for important causes. His stalwart advocacy of the role of the Halifax Rifles in Canadian history, for instance, is legendary. One sensed that Mike was convinced that if the Rifles could be revived the world could be saved from any of the threats that face us today. Two weeks before his death from cancer, Mike was still diligently working on Committee activities. Mike was a patriot and a friend, and he is remembered with great affection by all of us. Our condolences to his wife Marilyn, his children, Mary Ellen, Danny, Polly Sue and Michael, and their children as well.

  • Canadian Forces Transformation: Institutional Leadership As a Catalyst for Change
    MICHAEL K. J LIEUTENANT-GENERAL (RETIRED) MICHAEL K. JEFFERY The 1990s proved to be a turbulent period for the Canadian Forces (CF). The early years of the new millennium were equally as challenging, as the CF EFFERY was engaged in operations in Afghanistan and around the globe. What was clear was that the contemporary security environment had changed. As such, there was a requirement for the CF to transform to meet the new operating environment. I NSIDE INSIDE In 2005, the Minister of National Defence provided the incoming Chief of the Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier, with the resources and opportunity to CANADIAN FORCES undertake a CF Transformation. Given his firm belief that the CF needed to C ANADIAN FORCES change, and by nature a risk taker, General Hillier embraced the opportunity. TRANSFORMATION: This book describes the initial years of the formal CF Transformation that was led by General Hillier. It is a superb case study of a seminal point in CF history. INSTITUTIONAL LEADERSHIP AS A CATALYST FOR CHANGE Written by former Chief of the Land Staff, Lieutenant-General Michael Jeffery, who himself implemented a strategy of change for the Canadian army and who witnessed first-hand the process of CF Transformation, it captures both the considerable success, but also the difficulties of the process.

  • The D E F ENCE TEAM
    EDIT DRDC-RDDC-2015-P120 Canada’s defence establishment is a unique organization, comprising two distinct E MAY 2015 D BY: institutions: the civilian-led Department of National Defence (DND), headed by the Deputy Minister of National Defence, and the military-led Canadian Armed Forces GOLDENBER (CAF), headed by the Chief of the Defence Staff. In practice, however, civilian and military personnel – collectively referred to as the Defence Team – work side by side in a variety of contexts, including on bases, on operations, in military academic settings, and at National Defence Headquarters. G , FEBBRARO & These highly integrated workforces allow Canada’s defence establishment to draw on the complementary expertise of military and civilian personnel. Nonetheless, some fundamental differences exist between the military and civilian institutions, most notably separate personnel management systems and distinct cultures that reflect the D different histories, values, roles and policies of Defence civilians and CAF members. EAN Understanding the unique benefits and challenges associated with this integrated workforce is therefore critical to optimal military-civilian personnel collaboration. THE This volume presents conceptual, empirical and historical analyses of the key contextual, organizational and interpersonal factors that influence collaboration between civilian and military personnel in DND and the CAF. The volume will appeal to a diverse audience, including Defence Team personnel, senior leaders in DND and the CAF, human resource professionals, military managers of civilian D personnel and civilian managers of military personnel, and a more general audience interested in workgroup and organizational diversity. The volume furthers our E understanding of military-civilian partnerships and will contribute to the discourse F on the evolution of the Defence Team within Canada.
