  • An Engineer's Outline of RCN History, Part
    An Engineer’s Outline of Canadian Naval History, Part III (1970-2014) Richard W. Greenwood L’histoire de l’ingénierie de la Marine canadienne dans l’ère après-RCN (« COMAR ») se caractérise principalement comme l’ère de la frégate de la classe Halifax. Grâce à la conception, l’intégration et la construction, le développement ultérieur et le déploiement, la frégate canadienne de patrouille a symbolisé la croissance et la maturation techniques de la marine canadienne, évoluant de la poursuite d’une voie indépendante de développement pour répondre aux exigences opérationnelles du service national, jusqu’à la coopération, l’interdépendance et l’interopérabilité face aux défis multi-nationales communes. A cette même époque, la marine a également démontré cette évolution à travers un certain nombre d’autres développements en matière de capacité, tels le remplacement des sous-marins, le lancement de programmes de remplacement des navires de réapprovisionnement, une capacité de présence dans l’Arctique, et un remplacement pour destroyers et frégates. Les leçons longues et dures apprises au cours de chacun de ces projets ont positionné la marine pour réussir matériellement en entrant dans son deuxième siècle. La fin du document comprend un sommaire de perspectives sur un siècle de l’ingénierie navale canadienne. In The RCN in Retrospect, the proceedings of the first of these Canadian naval historical conferences, Captain Jim Knox authored a 2-part paper entitled “An Engineer’s Outline of RCN History” covering the period 1910-68.1 This reviewed the technical history and experience of the RCN from 1910 up to integration and unification in the late-1960s, culminating in the transition of the Royal Canadian Navy into Maritime Command (MARCOM).

This is termed airpower and is functionally T 1 classified into four core capabilities foundational to air forces worldwide: control of the air; air attack; air mobility; and air ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance). Each of these core capabilities is critical to ensuring Canadian sovereignty, defence of North America and contributing to international peace and security.2 These key defence roles set the priorities by which the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) organize, train and equip forces for service-specific3 military roles and missions.

The Perception Versus the Reality of Canadian Military Involvement in the Iraq War Sean M. Maloney, Ph.D. Part of the IRPP research program on National Security and Military Interoperability Dr. Sean M. Maloney is the Strategic Studies Advisor to the Canadian Defence Academy and teaches in the War Studies Program at the Royal Military College. He served in Germany as the historian for the Canadian Army’s NATO forces and is the author of several books, including War Without Battles: Canada’s NATO Brigade in Germany 1951-1993; the controversial Canada and UN Peacekeeping: Cold War by Other Means 1945-1970; and the forthcoming Operation KINETIC: The Canadians in Kosovo 1999-2000. Dr. Maloney has conducted extensive field research on Canadian and coalition military operations throughout the Balkans, the Middle East and Southwest Asia. Abstract The Chrétien government decided that Canada would not participate in Operation Iraqi Freedom, despite the fac ts that Canada had substantial national security interests in the removal of the Saddam Hussein regime and Canadian military resources had been deployed throughout the 1990s to contain it. Several arguments have been raised to justify that decision. First, Canada is a peacekeeping nation and doesn’t fight wars. Second, Canada was about to commit military forces to what the government called a “UN peacekeeping mission” in Kabul, Afghanistan, implying there were not enough military forces to do both, so a choice had to be made between “warfighting” and “peacekeeping.” Third, the Canadian Forces is not equipped to fight a war.

  • 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.
