Class B Reserve Employment Opportunities -
CF Transformation
In keeping with the Chief of the Defence Staff’s sixth principle of transformation,
which calls for closer integration of regular, reserve and civilian personnel,
Reservists will be integrated into the new CF formations. Three-year Reserve positions
are available in Ottawa with:
- Strategic Joint Staff
- Canada Command HQ
- Canadian Expeditionary Force Command HQ
- Canadian Special Operations Forces Command HQ
- General Support Formation HQ
Positions outside of Ottawa are at Joint Task Forces: Prairie HQ, Edmonton; Central HQ,
Toronto; Eastern HQ, Montréal; Atlantic HQ, Halifax; and Northern HQ, Yellowknife.
Positions are primarily at the officer level in J3 (operations), J4 (logistics),
and J5 (plans and policy). There will be some opportunities in J1 (personnel),
J2 (intelligence), J6 (communications), J7 (doctrine and training), J8 (Finance),
and HQ Admin/SP. Reservists can apply through their chain of command to
DMHRR 2-2 before December 26.
Details can be found in
CANFORGEN #181/05 (ADM HR-MIL).
Transform and modernize the Canadian Forces:
“Make no mistake about this, we are moving through this transformation process at a phased, but aggressive pace.“
CDS Gen Rick Hillier
The current security environment calls for professional, highly-trained armed forces capable of using new technologies effectively in joint, interagency and multinational operations. New technologies offer fast, flexible solutions to such operational problems as delivering force precisely in a war zone, or monitoring the flow of refugees in a humanitarian crisis. The CF has embraced these new technologies, and we will continue to invest in training and equipping Regular and Reserve personnel to ensure they remain amongst the most highly trained, technologically adept soldiers, sailors, air force personnel in the world.
The transformation process is evolutionary and has no definable end state. Transformation focuses on people, technology, ways of conducting operations and ways of thinking. It does not seek to re-structure the CF completely, or re-equip it, but rather to blend existing and emerging systems and structures to create greatly enhanced capabilities relevant to future missions, roles and tasks. Transformation is an iterative and continuous process, and its success is easy to see only in hindsight.
