Dress and Ceremonial
CF Dress and Ceremonial (DHH 3). This section maintains the CF dress, insignia, customs and ceremonial policies on behalf of the Chief of Defence Staff and the CF Inspector of Colours and Badges. The Chief of Defence Staff is advised on dress policies by a National Defence Clothing and Dress Committee (NDCDC), and, on matters which apply only to members allocated a specific environmental identity, by the principal commander of the applicable force. This section also assists Veterans Affairs Canada in providing ceremonial support during overseas commemorating events.
