1 CAD Mission

MISSION

CAD generates and employs the full spectrum of CAF integrated air power, in support of Government of Canada (GoC) interests at home and abroad.

Slide5

1 CAD Vision

Vision:

1 CAD/CANR will maximize and coordinate the distinct strengths of all RCAF capabilities, in order to generate and deliver desired air effects, both at home and abroad.

CAD/CANR will “

fly in formation”

, where each capability, as a Centre of Excellence in its own right, will work with other capabilities for the single purpose of delivering optimum air power IAW with our Command Doctrine and rooted in our ATF concept.

Slide6

1 CAD Vision

will work hand in hand with our joint and combined partners. We will foster enduring excellence in both the air and joint domains, and be ready to play an increasingly joint leadership role.

Training and Career Cycles - Officers

Slide21

Little variation from past practice

Uniform assigned at Recruiting Centre

After QL3 training, uniform colour does not guarantee posting to environment

Normal QL5, QL6, etc. training cycle between/leading up to promotion

Expectation from Trade Advisors and Branch that NCMs will rotate between environments at various rank levels, regardless of uniform colour

Training and Career Cycles -

NCMs

Slide22

Continued cross-environmental employment

has had increasingly

negative impact on

RCAF operations

RCAF tasks/positions becoming increasingly specialized

trade

experience

in areas of importance diluted and degraded

corresponding performance reduction within RCAF environment

negatively

impacting RCAF operations

Training and Career Cycles -

NCMs

Slide23

Branch, Trade Advisor and Career Manager approach to training, development and career management of trades not meeting RCAF operational requirements

Traffic Technicians/Loadmasters

MSE Ops

RCAF investment of training time and training dollars being wasted

No correlation between training delivered within RCAF (i.e. Loadmaster, SNIC Ops) and employment in other environments)

Training and Career Cycles -

NCMs

Slide24

Issue has attention of incoming Comd RCAF

Perception that Branch is unresponsive to RCAF operational requirements (i.e. Loadmaster)

Desire to instigate RCAF command and operator driven change

Challenges

Slide37

Challenges - Contracting

Apparent surge in Contracting Irregularities at Sqn/Unit and Wing levels

Active

involvement of Contracting

SMEs lacking in many cases

Partial

payment

authorization limits

Confirming

orders

Comd 1 CAD’s DOA to ADM(Mat

) to approve

Tactical level relationships between Wings and local business/industry damaged with long wait times for resolution

Slide38

Challenges – Material Accountability

Wings must comply with a wide range of MA&S policies and

procedures

Degradation to Material Accountability capabilities at Wing level

Harvesting of Logistics (Supply) positions

Loss of stocktaking cells

yclical

stocktaking

programs lapsed

Higher operational priorities

Materiel Attestation

and

CG Compliance

Program requirements and reporting demands increased

Slide39

Challenges – Sqn Log/Admin Os

Should

oord all log

aspects of

Ex/Op

planning

for Sqn/Unit, incl contracting

Operator/Command cultural change required

Number of Contracting Irregularities/Confirming Orders, SI’s and support issues from recent Exs/Ops confirms Sqn Log Os/Admin Os NOT being used properly

Must bring Sqn Log Os/Sqn Admin Os into planning and decision making cycle; incorporate into recces and TO&Es

Slide40

Challenges – 12 Wing SLA

1996

Service Level Agreement (SLA) between 12 Wing and Formation Halifax

undermined over time

imposed

personnel and financial resource reductions at CFB

Halifax

12 Wing

declining ability to efficiently force generate

imminent

converging pressures of

CH124

disposal and the launch of the

CH148

Renewal of the SLA as a top priority for both the RCAF and the RCN.

Slide41

Challenges – FG Air Logistics

Officer Capability

Insufficient FG RCAF Log Officers (quality/quantity) to sustain RCAF

operations/commitments long term

Insufficient and decreasing trend of RCAF Majors

Log capability deficiencies at Wings (leadership vacancies)

LCol demographic challenge

Lack of promotions for RCAF Majors & LCols

Shortage of Wing Log leadership hindering mentoring & development of junior officers

Lack of junior officer positions / entry level positions

Cultural challenges (e.g. posting avoidance / Comd avoidance)

Deleterious effects to RCAF Succession Planning

Slide42

Challenges – FG Air Logistics

Officer Capability

Slide43

Challenges – FG Air Logistics

Officer Capability

Other

contributing factors

Deficiencies of singular Joint Logistics Merit Boards

RCAF geographical dispersion / isolated locations

RCAF PER Methodology & Application

CC3 Logistics Structure (lack of junior officer positions)

Succession Planning / Cultural challenges

Future

prognosis

Demographics indicate situation will continue to deteriorate

Current structure of Joint Logistics Merit Boards will continue to degrade RCAF Log capacity

Reinvestment in RCAF logistics capability required

Slide45

Potential COAs

Active involvement by W Comds/COs to acknowledge this situation and readily accept waivers to right dress some PERs for the “purple” trades.

Running separate formation level boards for “purple” trades.

Status quo

Potential Outcomes

Increase the number of CC3 Log trade promotions

Remove the competition with hard RCAF trades only employed within the RCAF

Continue to see the other CCs promote at a much higher rate, with subsequent operational and career impacts
