  • Specialization and the Canadian Forces (2003)
    SPECIALIZATION AND THE CANADIAN FORCES PHILIPPE LAGASSÉ OCCASIONAL PAPER No. 40, 2003 The Norman Paterson School of International Affairs Carleton University 1125 Colonel By Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6 Telephone: 613-520-6655 Fax: 613-520-2889 This series is published by the Centre for Security and Defence Studies at the School and supported by a grant from the Security Defence Forum of the Department of National Defence. The views expressed in the paper do not necessarily represent the views of the School or the Department of National Defence TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT 3 Introduction 4 Determinants of Force Structuring 7 Canadian Defence Policy 16 Specialization, Transformation and Canadian Defence 29 Conclusion 36 REFERENCES 38 ABOUT THE AUTHOR 40 2 ABSTRACT Canada is facing a force structuring dilemma. In spite of Ottawa’s desire to promote international peace and stability alongside the United States and the United Nations, Canada’s minimalist approaches to defence spending and capital expenditures are undermining the long-term viability of the Canadian Forces’ (CF) expeditionary and interoperable capabilities. Two solutions to this dilemma present themselves: increased defence spending or greater force structure specialization. Since Ottawa is unlikely to increase defence spending, specialization provides the only practical solution to the CF’s capabilities predicament. Though it would limit the number of tasks that the CF could perform overseas, specialization would maximize the output of current capital expenditures and preserve the CF’s interoperability with the US military in an age of defence transformation. This paper thus argues that the economics of Canadian defence necessitate a more specialized CF force structure.

  • Lieutenant Colonel (Ret’D) Dan Dempsey, Cd
    LIEUTENANT COLONEL (RET’D) DAN DEMPSEY, CD A pilot by profession, Dan Dempsey’s motivation towards an aviation career was fostered by his boyhood fascination watching the RCAF Golden Hawks aerobatic team perform. Born in Hamilton, Ontario to an air force father who worked at Mount Hope, he grew up near RCAF Stations Rockcliffe (Ottawa), Lincoln Park (Calgary) and Namao (Edmonton). His passion for flying led to a 23 year career with the Canadian Forces. A graduate of Royal Roads Military College in Victoria, British Columbia and the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario, he holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Science. Dan earned his private pilot license in 1972 at the Victoria Flying Club while attending Royal Roads and his Air Force wings at CFB Moose Jaw in June 1975. Having subsequently instructed on the CT-114 Tutor for four years, Dan was selected to fly one of the coveted solo positions with the Snowbirds (Snowbird 9) for the 1980-1981 airshow seasons. He then trained on the CF-5 Freedom Fighter and CF-104 Starfighter at Cold Lake, Alberta, subsequently flying the Starfighter with both 439 and 441 Tactical Fighter Squadrons based in Baden-Soellingen, West Germany. Returning to command 431 Air Demonstration Squadron in 1989 and 1990, he was honoured to lead the Snowbirds through their 20th anniversary and 1,000th official performance. A distinguished graduate of the Canadian Forces Command and Staff College in Toronto, Dan was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel following his Snowbird tour and served as Executive Assistant to the Commander Air Command where he was successful in initiating several important air force heritage projects, including the designation of CFBs Bagotville and Cold Lake to 3 and 4 Wings respectively following the closure of Canadian Forces Europe.
