\n<\/b>Acting Chief of the Defence Staff<\/span><\/h5>\n

To the members of the Canadian Armed Forces:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>ACTING CHIEF OF THE DEFENCE STAFF FOCUS AREAS<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Having just passed the one year milestone of being in a pandemic, we continue to live in a dynamic and unpredictable environment and recent events have added to the uncertainties we face. As your Acting Chief of the Defence Staff, I view my primary role as continuing to provide our nation a force that delivers operational excellence in a manner that is reflective of Canadian identity and values and which Canadians remain proud of. Early in my tenure I believe it important to orient you on my four overarching focus areas of people, operations, readiness, and future capability development in order to guide our collective efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>PEOPLE<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>Culture.<\/b> The Canadian Armed Forces is at an inflection point with regards to our culture. Recent sexual misconduct revelations and allegations are very disturbing, have shaken us, and made clear how much farther we need to go to be the CAF that our people deserve, and Canadians expect. Furthermore, the societal problems of racism and hateful conduct continue to manifest themselves in our ranks. We need to view the current crisis as an opportunity and come out of it as a better organization. We will re-establish trust where it has been broken. We need all of our members to work in an environment characterized by a sense of mutual respect, dignity, safety and truly belonging. To that end, early work indicates we need to follow two streams:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0 External Actions. We will fully support and welcome an external review of our institution and its culture with the full realization that we do not have all the answers. We will embrace external recommendations, including an independent reporting chain.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0 Internal Actions. While the first stream takes shape, we are taking some important immediate steps while retaining the ability to incorporate its recommendations. This plan is still developing and is my personal focus.\u00a0 Firstly we must listen \u2013 to our own people at all levels, most importantly at the grassroots; and to external experts. From them we must learn and guide our actions accordingly. Several actions are already clear:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    • Operation HONOUR has culminated, and thus we will close it out, harvest what has worked, learn from what hasn\u2019t, and develop a deliberate plan to go forward. We will better align the organizations and processes focused on culture change to achieve better effect.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • We will identify and take the steps necessary to create a workplace where individuals feel safe to come forward when they experience sexual misconduct.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • We will finalize and publish our Code of Professional Military Conduct, including a new focus on power dynamics in our system, and hold ourselves accountable to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • We will add new rigour and science to leader selection, starting at the highest levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Along with other ongoing efforts, we will implement the Restorative Engagement aspect of the Heyder-Beattie Harmful Inappropriate Sexual Behaviour (HISB) class action lawsuit final settlement agreement, and learn from that to guide a wider reconciliation effort in an attempt to right past wrongs.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • We need to improve mechanisms to listen and learn from the experiences of those who have been harmed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      In all of these efforts, we will support victims as they come forward, while at the same time respecting the fundamental right of due process for ongoing investigations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Health and Wellness.<\/b> Like the rest of society, life in the pandemic has been hard on our members and their families. We must continue to support one another, seek and offer help when the need exists, and make maximum use of the coping tools and resources available. As the conditions of the pandemic ease, we must take full opportunity of reinforcing our social connectivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Postings.<\/b> We will soon enter the Active Posting Season, and the high stress usually associated with it is exacerbated again this year with the pandemic. Housing prices across the country add to the burden of stress, as will navigating different Provincial, Territorial, and international pandemic-related travel restrictions. Once again, we will take a very flexible approach with move and report for duty dates. Guidance will be promulgated via CANFORGEN in the coming days.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Personnel Initiatives.<\/b> We will continue with the vital work Military Personnel Command is undertaking to improve the conditions of service for our members and their families. The work on a revised Universality of Service (U of S) policy is progressing well along with specific Adaptive Career Path (ACP) initiatives that will offer more options to CAF members and their families. A long overdue Retention Strategy is under development to focus on retaining the excellent talent that lives and leads across the CAF. These initiatives must be delivered while respecting the guiding principles of our Canadian military ethos, most notably service before self and through a Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) lens. To that end, the CAF personnel management system needs to be modernized and, in some areas, changed. To achieve this, we will continue with the development and implementation of a new CAF HR Strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

      OPERATIONS<\/b><\/p>\n

      Domestic.<\/b> The perfect storm is potentially upon us, with the confluence of Operations LASER and VECTOR, as the response to the pandemic must continue, and LENTUS as spring comes with the usual heightened risks of natural disasters such as flooding and forest fires. We continue to provide excellent support to Canadians across the country: in Indigenous and Northern communities as they deal with outbreaks; in leading national planning efforts for vaccine distribution; in support to land border crossings; and very soon in the vaccination efforts for many Northern remote and Indigenous communities. Every day our forces are prepared to assist national authorities when requested, our Search and Rescue enterprise stands ready to respond to those in need, as does NORAD to defend Canada and the United States. Throughout this period, the bulk of our operational effort and focus will be on the home game.<\/span><\/p>\n

      CAF Vaccination.<\/b> Vaccinating the CAF is an operational focus. Over the course of the next three months, we are planning to receive 150,000 doses of vaccine, for which the administration will be the primary focus of our Health Services. I have issued vaccination priorities and more detail is in FRAGO 001 to CDS TASKORD 002 \u2013 Operation VECTOR \u2013 CAF COVID-19 Immunization Campaign. I strongly encourage all to get vaccinated. Our operational effectiveness depends on it. As our Force is vaccinated we will modify our protective measures according to best practices and regional health measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Expeditionary.<\/b> Throughout this period, we will continue to do our part to ensure international peace and security, with ongoing operations such as Operation CARIBBE in Latin America and the Caribbean, Operation PRESENCE supporting the United Nations in Africa, and with upcoming rotations in Operations UNIFIER and REASSURANCE Land Task Force and Air Task Force-Romania. We will continue to be a leader abroad, notably with our ongoing commands of the Standing NATO Maritime Group One in Europe, and the Combined Task Force 150 in the Middle-East. We will continue to excel and maintain our efforts in the Indo-Asia Pacific region, including the ongoing deployment of HMCS <\/span>Calgary<\/span><\/i>, the upcoming deployment of HMCS <\/span>Winnipeg<\/span><\/i>, and our CANSOFCOM efforts across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n

      READINESS<\/b><\/p>\n

      Personnel Generation.<\/b> In a time when we should be growing our numbers, the pandemic has led the CAF to shrink in size in both our Regular and Reserve Force components. While our attrition over the last year has decreased by approximately 25%, our intake has only been a third of normal. As our recruiting system and CFLRS return to full capacity, we will need to continue to conduct decentralized Basic Military Qualification courses, and prioritize courses necessary to maximize the number of personnel reaching Operational Functional Point. A key aspect throughout will be increasing the diversity in our ranks to benefit from the talent inherent across Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Individual Training.<\/b> Likewise, our individual training course throughout has been significantly affected. In the mid-term, we will prioritize individual training over collective training in order to develop the leadership and technical qualifications and skills we need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Collective Training.<\/b> Collective training must continue, albeit in most cases at a reduced scale, to maintain our proficiency in higher level activities. NORAD\u2019s Ex AMALGAM DART, the Army\u2019s Ex MAPLE RESOLVE and the Navy\u2019s Ex DYNAMIC MONARCH to name just a few exercises, will continue to be conducted in a modified manner, using risk mitigation strategies to protect health and safety. To gain capacity for other activities, we will forgo such activities as the Ceremonial Guard, the CAF Small Arms Competition, and most community engagements.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Allies and Partners.<\/b> Our competitive advantage in today\u2019s security environment is being part of a network of like minded allies and partners. As conditions permit, we look to restore and re-engage with partners in various events, including exercises, training, and engagements.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      DEVELOPING FUTURE CAPABILITIES<\/b><\/p>\n

      SSE Investments.<\/b> Our defence policy, <\/span>Strong, Secure, Engaged,<\/span><\/i> lays out an impressive capital investment plan that we must continue to aggressively staff. Canadian Surface Combatant, Future Fighter, and many other programmes will be the foundation of our future military. We are already seeing increased capabilities with such projects as the Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship and the LAV 6 family of vehicles, including the first of the Armoured Combat Support Vehicles just rolling off the production line. These projects will continue to demand significant and necessary effort.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Integrating Capabilities.<\/b> Fueled in part by rapid technological development, the increasingly integrated character of warfare and international competition across all domains, including in non-traditional ones such as cyberspace are demanding that we invest in the foundation of our military enterprise. To this end, we will continue our pursuit of four very high priority capability areas: digitizing the force and adopting digital practices; a common C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence) \u2018spine\u2019; the joint sustainment enterprise; and leader professional development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Defence of Canada.<\/b> Various trends such as climate change, increased interest in the Arctic, and challenges to our national resilience, made clear during the pandemic, are driving change in how we conceptualize national defence. Recent announcements by the Government, such as the Canada-US national leader discussions, indicated the imperative of improving our continental defence, including the modernization of NORAD. In the short-term, we will continue to provide military support to policy development, including capability conceptualization and force design.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n

      Despite the challenges we face, the business of defending Canada and Canadian interests must continue. Potential adversaries are not resting, and continue to expand their reach and test our resolve. At the same time, the scale and scope of tasks we are being called upon to perform are expanding as we protect our population.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      The CAF post-pandemic will not be the same CAF as pre-pandemic\u2026 too much has changed. Balancing our capacity across many activities will be crucial as we evolve. In all, we are committed to making the CAF better in all we do, most importantly for our people who underpin every single aspect of our service. In every day that I serve, guided by these focus areas, I will endeavour to make the CAF a better place. I ask you to do likewise.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Message du\u00a0Chef d\u2019\u00e9tat-major de la D\u00e9fense par int\u00e9rim<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Par LGen W.D. Eyre,<\/strong>
      \nLe Chef d\u2019\u00e9tat-major de la D\u00e9fense par int\u00e9rim<\/p>\n

      Aux membres des Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes :<\/p>\n

      POINTS DE MIRE DU CEMD(I)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Alors que nous venons de franchir la date du premier anniversaire d\u2019une pand\u00e9mie, nous continuons \u00e0 vivre dans un environnement dynamique et impr\u00e9visible, et les \u00e9v\u00e9nements r\u00e9cents ont ajout\u00e9 aux incertitudes auxquelles nous sommes confront\u00e9s. \u00c0 titre de Chef d\u2019\u00e9tat major de la D\u00e9fense par int\u00e9rim, je consid\u00e8re que mon r\u00f4le principal consiste \u00e0 continuer de fournir \u00e0 notre pays une force faisant preuve d\u2019excellence op\u00e9rationnelle qui refl\u00e8te l\u2019identit\u00e9 et les valeurs du Canada et dont les canadiens et canadiennes demeurent fiers. Au d\u00e9but de mon mandat, je crois qu\u2019il est important de vous faire part de mes quatre grands points de mire, \u00e0 savoir notre personnel, les op\u00e9rations, l\u2019\u00e9tat de pr\u00e9paration et le d\u00e9veloppement de nos capacit\u00e9s futures, lesquels orienteront nos efforts collectifs.<\/p>\n

      LE PERSONNEL<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Culture.<\/strong>\u00a0Les Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes se trouvent \u00e0 un point d\u2019inflexion en ce qui concerne notre culture. Les r\u00e9centes r\u00e9v\u00e9lations d\u2019inconduite sexuelle et les all\u00e9gations \u00e0 cet effet sont tr\u00e8s troublantes; ces cas nous ont \u00e9branl\u00e9s et ils ont montr\u00e9 clairement tout le chemin que nous devons encore parcourir pour \u00eatre les FAC que nos gens m\u00e9ritent, et celles auxquelles les canadiens et canadiennes s\u2019attendent. En outre, les probl\u00e8mes sociaux que sont le racisme et les comportements haineux continuent de se manifester dans nos rangs. Nous devons saisir l\u2019occasion que pr\u00e9sente l\u2019actuelle crise pour devenir une meilleure organisation. Nous devons r\u00e9tablir la confiance l\u00e0 o\u00f9 elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 trahie. Il faut que tous les membres des FAC puissent travailler dans un environnement caract\u00e9ris\u00e9 par un sens du respect mutuel, de la dignit\u00e9, de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9, et de l\u2019appartenance v\u00e9ritable. Dans cet ordre d\u2019id\u00e9es, nos premiers travaux r\u00e9v\u00e8lent que nous devons suivre deux grands axes :<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Interventions de l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur. Nous appuierons \u00e0 fond et nous accueillerons avec plaisir un examen ext\u00e9rieur de notre institution et de sa culture, tout en sachant que nous ne poss\u00e9dons pas toutes les r\u00e9ponses. Nous \u00e9pouserons les recommandations provenant de l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur, y compris en ce qui concerne une cha\u00eene d\u2019\u00e9tablissement de rapports ind\u00e9pendante.<\/li>\n
      2. Interventions \u00e0 l\u2019interne. Pendant que le premier axe se dessine, nous prenons des mesures imm\u00e9diates importantes, tout en conservant la capacit\u00e9 de donner suite aux recommandations qui en r\u00e9sulteront. Le plan \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard est encore en cours d\u2019\u00e9laboration et il retient mon attention personnelle. D\u2019abord, nous devons \u00e9couter nos gens, \u00e0 tous les niveaux, particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 la base, et aussi les experts externes. D\u2019eux, nous devons apprendre et orienter nos actions en cons\u00e9quence. Plusieurs mesures sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 claires :<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        • L\u2019op\u00e9ration HONOUR a atteint son point culminant; nous y mettrons donc un terme, nous en conserverons les mesures fructueuses, nous apprendrons en prenant conscience de ce qui n\u2019a pas fonctionn\u00e9, et nous \u00e9laborerons un plan d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9 pour aller de l\u2019avant. Nous harmoniserons mieux les organisations et les processus ax\u00e9s sur le changement culturel afin de produire de meilleurs effets.<\/li>\n
        • Nous identifierons et prendrons les mesures n\u00e9cessaires pour cr\u00e9er un milieu de travail ou les personnes se sentent en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 pour se manifester lorsqu\u2019elles subissent une inconduite sexuelle.<\/li>\n
        • Nous finaliserons et publierons notre Code d\u2019\u00e9thique militaire professionnelle qui comprendra un nouvel accent mis sur la dynamique des pouvoirs dans notre syst\u00e8me, et nous nous en tiendrons responsables.<\/li>\n
        • Nous ferons preuve de plus de rigueur et nous nous appuierons davantage sur la science lors de la s\u00e9lection de nos dirigeants, en commen\u00e7ant par les niveaux sup\u00e9rieurs.<\/li>\n
        • Parall\u00e8lement \u00e0 d\u2019autres efforts en cours, nous mettrons en \u0153uvre l\u2019aspect des d\u00e9marches r\u00e9paratrices du r\u00e8glement final du recours collectif Heyder-Beattie comportement sexuel dommageable et inappropri\u00e9 (CDSI), et nous en tirerons des le\u00e7ons afin d\u2019orienter un vaste effort de r\u00e9conciliation dans l\u2019espoir de r\u00e9parer les actes r\u00e9pr\u00e9hensibles pass\u00e9s.<\/li>\n
        • Nous devons am\u00e9liorer les m\u00e9canismes pour \u00e9couter et apprendre des exp\u00e9riences de ceux qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 bless\u00e9s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Dans tous ces efforts, nous soutiendrons les victimes qui se manifesteront tout en respectant le droit fondamental \u00e0 l\u2019application r\u00e9guli\u00e8re de la loi pendant les enqu\u00eates en cours.<\/p>\n

          Sant\u00e9 et mieux \u00eatre.<\/strong>\u00a0Comme dans le reste de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, la vie pendant la pand\u00e9mie a \u00e9t\u00e9 difficile pour nos membres et leurs familles. Nous devons continuer \u00e0 nous soutenir mutuellement, \u00e0 demander ou \u00e0 offrir de l\u2019aide lorsque le besoin existe, et \u00e0 exploiter au maximum les ressources et les outils existants pour faire face aux difficult\u00e9s. \u00c0 mesure que les effets de la pand\u00e9mie s\u2019att\u00e9nuent, nous devons profiter pleinement des possibilit\u00e9s pour renforcer notre connectivit\u00e9 sociale.<\/p>\n

          Affectations.<\/strong>\u00a0Nous entamerons bient\u00f4t la p\u00e9riode active des affectations, et la tension intense qui va normalement de pair avec cette p\u00e9riode sera une fois de plus accentu\u00e9e cette ann\u00e9e par la pand\u00e9mie. Le prix des logements \u00e0 travers le pays contribue au stress, tout comme le font les diff\u00e9rentes restrictions de voyage provinciales, territoriales et internationales relatives \u00e0 la pand\u00e9mie avec lesquelles nous devons composer. Encore une fois, nous adopterons une approche tr\u00e8s souple en ce qui concerne les dates de d\u00e9m\u00e9nagement et d\u2019entr\u00e9e en service. Les lignes directrices seront diffus\u00e9es au moyen de messages CANFORGEN au cours des prochains jours.<\/p>\n

          Initiatives concernant le personnel.<\/strong>\u00a0Nous poursuivrons le travail essentiel que le Commandement du personnel militaire m\u00e8ne pour am\u00e9liorer les conditions de service de nos membres et la situation de leurs familles. Le travail \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard d\u2019une politique r\u00e9vis\u00e9e sur l\u2019universalit\u00e9 du service (U de S) progresse bien et il en va de m\u00eame pour des initiatives pr\u00e9cises ax\u00e9es sur le parcours de carri\u00e8re adaptatif, lesquelles offriront plus d\u2019options aux membres des FAC et \u00e0 leurs familles. Une strat\u00e9gie de maintien en poste attendue depuis longtemps est en cours d\u2019\u00e9laboration et visera le maintien en poste d\u2019excellents talents qui \u0153uvrent et dirigent \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle des FAC. Ces initiatives doivent \u00eatre livr\u00e9es dans le respect des principes directeurs de l\u2019\u00e9thos militaire canadien, notamment le service avant soi, et dans une optique d\u2019analyse comparative des sexes plus (ACS+). \u00c0 cette fin, le syst\u00e8me de gestion du personnel des FAC doit \u00eatre modernis\u00e9 et, dans certains domaines, modifi\u00e9. Pour y parvenir, nous poursuivrons l\u2019\u00e9laboration et la mise en \u0153uvre d\u2019une nouvelle strat\u00e9gie des ressources humaines des FAC.<\/p>\n

          OP\u00c9RATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Au Canada.<\/strong>\u00a0La temp\u00eate parfaite nous menace, avec la confluence des op\u00e9rations LASER et VECTOR \u2014 car la lutte contre la pand\u00e9mie doit se poursuivre \u2014 et de l\u2019op\u00e9ration LENTUS avec l\u2019arriv\u00e9e du printemps risquant de s\u2019accompagner des dangers habituels accrus de catastrophes naturelles telles que les inondations et les feux de for\u00eat. Nous continuons de fournir un excellent appui \u00e0 la population canadienne dans tout le pays : dans les collectivit\u00e9s autochtones et du Nord, quand elles font face \u00e0 des \u00e9closions; en dirigeant les efforts nationaux pour planifier la distribution des vaccins; en appuyant les autorit\u00e9s aux postes frontaliers terrestres et, tr\u00e8s bient\u00f4t, en participant aux efforts de vaccination dans de nombreuses collectivit\u00e9s \u00e9loign\u00e9es et autochtones. Tous les jours, nos forces sont pr\u00eates \u00e0 pr\u00eater main forte aux autorit\u00e9s nationales quand on le leur demande; nos unit\u00e9s recherche et sauvetage sont sur le qui vive pour se porter \u00e0 l\u2019aide de personnes en d\u00e9tresse, tout comme le NORAD l\u2019est, pour d\u00e9fendre le Canada et les \u00c9tats Unis. Tout au long de cette p\u00e9riode, l\u2019essentiel de nos efforts op\u00e9rationnels et notre attention viseront le Canada.<\/p>\n

          Vaccination des FAC.<\/strong>\u00a0La vaccination des membres des FAC est une priorit\u00e9 op\u00e9rationnelle. Au cours des trois prochains mois, nous pr\u00e9voyons recevoir 150 000 doses du vaccin, dont l\u2019administration constituera l\u2019objectif principal de nos Services de sant\u00e9. J\u2019ai publi\u00e9 des priorit\u00e9s en mati\u00e8re de vaccination, et de plus amples renseignements se trouvent dans l\u2019O frag 001 de l\u2019ordre de mission 002 du CEMD \u2013 Op\u00e9ration VECTOR \u2013 Campagne de vaccination des FAC contre la COVID-19. Je vous encourage fortement \u00e0 vous faire vacciner. Notre efficacit\u00e9 op\u00e9rationnelle en d\u00e9pend. Au fur et \u00e0 mesure que notre Force est vaccin\u00e9e, nous modifierons nos mesures de protection conform\u00e9ment aux pratiques exemplaires et aux mesures sanitaires r\u00e9gionales.<\/p>\n

          Op\u00e9rations exp\u00e9ditionnaires.<\/strong>\u00a0Tout au long de cette p\u00e9riode, nous continuerons \u00e0 faire notre part pour assurer la paix et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 internationales, avec des op\u00e9rations en cours telles que l\u2019op\u00e9ration CARIBBE en Am\u00e9rique latine et dans les Cara\u00efbes, l\u2019op\u00e9ration PRESENCE soutenant les Nations Unies en Afrique, et avec les rotations \u00e0 venir dans les op\u00e9rations UNIFIER et REASSURANCE, au sein de la Force op\u00e9rationnelle terrestre et la Force op\u00e9rationnelle a\u00e9rienne \u2013 Roumanie. Nous continuerons d\u2019\u00eatre un chef de file \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger, notamment gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 nos commandements du 1er Groupe maritime permanent de l\u2019OTAN (SNMG1) en Europe et de la Force op\u00e9rationnelle multinationale 150 (FOM 150) au Moyen-Orient. Nous continuerons d\u2019exceller et de maintenir nos efforts dans la r\u00e9gion indo-asiatique-pacifique, y compris le d\u00e9ploiement pr\u00e9sent du NCSM CALGARY, le d\u00e9ploiement prochain du NCSM WINNIPEG et les efforts du COMFOSCAN \u00e0 travers le monde.<\/p>\n

          \u00c9TAT DE PR\u00c9PARATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

          G\u00e9n\u00e9ration du personnel.<\/strong>\u00a0Au moment o\u00f9 nous devrions augmenter nos effectifs, la pand\u00e9mie a plut\u00f4t amen\u00e9 les FAC vers une r\u00e9duction de notre effectif, \u00e0 la fois dans la Force r\u00e9guli\u00e8re et dans la R\u00e9serve. Alors que notre taux d\u2019attrition a diminu\u00e9 d\u2019environ 25 pourcent au cours de l\u2019ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, notre taux d\u2019admission n\u2019a \u00e9t\u00e9 que d\u2019un tiers de la normale. Au fur et \u00e0 mesure que notre syst\u00e8me de recrutement et l\u2019\u00c9cole de leadership et de recrues des Forces canadiennes (ELRFC) retrouveront leur pleine capacit\u00e9, nous devrons continuer \u00e0 donner les cours d\u00e9centralis\u00e9s de Qualification militaire de base et \u00e0 prioriser les cours n\u00e9cessaires pour maximiser le nombre de militaires qui atteignent le niveau op\u00e9rationnel de comp\u00e9tence, c\u2019est \u00e0 dire le niveau o\u00f9 ils peuvent \u00eatre affect\u00e9s aux op\u00e9rations. L\u2019un des aspects cl\u00e9s tout au long de processus consistera \u00e0 accro\u00eetre la diversit\u00e9 dans nos rangs afin de tirer parti du talent inh\u00e9rent \u00e0 travers le Canada.<\/p>\n

          Instruction individuelle.<\/strong>\u00a0Parall\u00e8lement, le d\u00e9bit de nos cours d\u2019instruction individuelle a significativement \u00e9t\u00e9 affect\u00e9. \u00c0 moyen terme, nous prioriserons l\u2019instruction individuelle \u00e0 l\u2019instruction collective dans le but de d\u00e9velopper le leadership ainsi que les qualifications et les comp\u00e9tences techniques n\u00e9cessaires.<\/p>\n

          Instruction collective.<\/strong>\u00a0L\u2019instruction collective doit se poursuivre, mais \u00e0 une \u00e9chelle r\u00e9duite dans la plupart des cas, afin de conserver nos comp\u00e9tences dans le cadre d\u2019activit\u00e9s de plus haut niveau. L\u2019Ex AMALGAM DART du NORAD, l\u2019Ex MAPLE RESOLVE de l\u2019Arm\u00e9e de terre et l\u2019Ex DYNAMIC MONARCH de la Marine, pour n\u2019en citer que quelques uns, se poursuivront de mani\u00e8re modifi\u00e9e, des strat\u00e9gies d\u2019att\u00e9nuation des risques \u00e9tant appliqu\u00e9es pour prot\u00e9ger la sant\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Afin d\u2019accro\u00eetre la capacit\u00e9 pour d\u2019autres activit\u00e9s, nous avons d\u00fb prendre la d\u00e9cision difficile de laisser tomber certaines activit\u00e9s comme la Garde de c\u00e9r\u00e9monie, la Comp\u00e9tition de tir aux armes l\u00e9g\u00e8res des Forces canadiennes, et la plupart des engagements communautaires.<\/p>\n

          Alli\u00e9s et partenaires.<\/strong>\u00a0Notre avantage concurrentiel dans l\u2019environnement de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui est de faire partie d\u2019un r\u00e9seau d\u2019alli\u00e9s et de partenaires aux vues similaires. \u00c0 mesure que les conditions s\u2019am\u00e9lioreront, nous mettrons l\u2019accent sur les efforts visant \u00e0 renouer et \u00e0 r\u00e9tablir les relations avec nos partenaires gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 divers \u00e9v\u00e9nements, notamment des exercices, des entra\u00eenements et des mobilisations.<\/p>\n

          D\u00c9VELOPPEMENT DES CAPACIT\u00c9S FUTURES<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Investissements pr\u00e9vus dans la politique PSE.<\/strong>\u00a0Notre politique de d\u00e9fense,\u00a0Protection, S\u00e9curit\u00e9, Engagement<\/em>, dresse un impressionnant plan d\u2019investissements en immobilisations que nous devons continuer de mettre en \u0153uvre activement. Les navires de combat de surface canadiens, le projet de capacit\u00e9 future en mati\u00e8re d\u2019avions chasseur, et plusieurs autres programmes constitueront les fondements de nos futures forces militaires. Nous constatons d\u00e9j\u00e0 une augmentation des capacit\u00e9s d\u00e9coulant des projets comme le navire de patrouille extrac\u00f4tier et de l\u2019Arctique et la famille de v\u00e9hicules VBL 6, y compris le premier v\u00e9hicule blind\u00e9 d\u2019appui tactique qui vient tout juste de sortir de la cha\u00eene de production. Ces projets continueront d\u2019exiger des efforts importants et essentiels.<\/p>\n

          Capacit\u00e9s int\u00e9gr\u00e9es.<\/strong>\u00a0Aliment\u00e9s en partie par les progr\u00e8s technologies rapides, le caract\u00e8re de plus en plus int\u00e9gr\u00e9 de la conduite de la guerre et la concurrence internationale dans tous les domaines, y compris dans les domaines non traditionnels tels que le cyberespace, nous obligent \u00e0 faire des investissements dans les fondements de notre entreprise militaire. \u00c0 cette fin, nous continuerons de d\u00e9ployer des efforts visant quatre domaines de capacit\u00e9s hautement prioritaires : num\u00e9risation de la force et adoption de pratiques num\u00e9riques; \u00ab syst\u00e8me \u00bb commun C3IR (commandement, contr\u00f4le, communications, informatique et renseignement); entreprise de soutien interarm\u00e9es; perfectionnement professionnel des dirigeants.<\/p>\n

          D\u00e9fense du Canada.<\/strong>\u00a0Diverses tendances, entre autres, les changements climatiques, l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat accru \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard de l\u2019Arctique et les d\u00e9fis sur le plan de la r\u00e9silience nationale, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 mises en \u00e9vidence durant la pand\u00e9mie, ce qui a men\u00e9 \u00e0 un changement de la fa\u00e7on dont nous conceptualisons la d\u00e9fense de notre pays. Au cours d\u2019annonces pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es r\u00e9cemment par le gouvernement, notamment suivant la tenue de discussions entre les dirigeants nationaux du Canada et des \u00c9tats Unis, le gouvernement souligne la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d\u2019am\u00e9liorer notre d\u00e9fense continentale, y compris la modernisation du NORAD. \u00c0 court terme, nous continuerons d\u2019apporter du soutien militaire en vue de l\u2019\u00e9laboration de politiques, en ce qui concerne notamment la conceptualisation des capacit\u00e9s et la conception de la force.<\/p>\n

          Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Malgr\u00e9 les d\u00e9fis auxquels nous sommes affront\u00e9s, les activit\u00e9s relatives \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense du Canada et des int\u00e9r\u00eats canadiens doivent se poursuivre. Les adversaires possibles ne se reposent pas, et ils continuent d\u2019accro\u00eetre leur port\u00e9e et de mettre \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve notre r\u00e9solution. Parall\u00e8lement, l\u2019ampleur et la port\u00e9e des t\u00e2ches que nous sommes appel\u00e9s \u00e0 accomplir s\u2019\u00e9largissent alors que nous prot\u00e9geons notre population.<\/p>\n

          Les FAC, comme elles l\u2019\u00e9taient avant la pand\u00e9mie, ne seront plus pareilles au terme de la pand\u00e9mie\u2026 trop de choses ont chang\u00e9. Au fur et \u00e0 mesure que nous \u00e9voluons, il sera essentiel pour nous d\u2019\u00e9quilibrer nos capacit\u00e9s alors que nous ex\u00e9cutons bon nombre d\u2019activit\u00e9s. Tout bien pes\u00e9, nous sommes r\u00e9solus \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer les FAC dans tous leurs domaines d\u2019activit\u00e9s, surtout pour le bien de nos effectifs, ces derniers constituant les fondements de chaque aspect de notre service. Chaque jour que je sers, guid\u00e9 par ces secteurs d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat, je m\u2019efforcerai chaque jour d\u2019am\u00e9liorer les FAC. Je vous incite \u00e0 faire pareillement.<\/p>\n
