Transform and modernize the Canadian Forces: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. |
