An RCAF CF-18 Hornet takes off on its last mission of Operation Impact in Kuwait last week.
DND/ The Courier
As
directed
by
the
Government of Canada, the
Canadian Armed Forces (CAF)
ceased airstrike operations
as part of Operation Impact
on February 15. The CAF is
refocusing its contribution to
the Middle East Stabilization
Force – the multinational
coalition to halt and degrade
the so-called Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
"I'm proud of the efforts
of our CF-18 aircrews and all
those who supported airstrike
operations,” said Harjit Sajjan,
Minister of National Defence.
“I appreciate greatly their
contribution and that of all
members who have deployed
on Operation Impact.”
“Canadians
owe
you
and your families a debt of
gratitude for your service and
sacrifice,” Sajjan said.

Congratulations from CJOC Commander

Gentlemen,
At 1009Z on 14 Feb 16, a pair of Canadian
CF-188s recovered at their base in Kuwait after
completing Canada’s last strike operation against ISIL
targets in Iraq. Like so many missions before it, the
pilots who flew this final mission conducted a flawless
strike on ISIL forces who were threatening friendly
forces near Fallujah, Iraq.
Your professional efforts over the last 14 months
were a key part of Canada’s efforts against ISIL. We
are also proud of your achievements in striking 251
ISIL targets and having assumed the leadership of
Coalition forces during 27 of your missions.
Mention must also be made of the outstanding
efforts of the Royal Canadian Air Force technicians
who worked very hard under difficult conditions
to keep our aircraft flying. Last, but not least, a
number of support operators worked unceasingly
in the background to enable and facilitate CAF
airstrike operations. All the personnel deserve our
congratulations for their exceptional dedication.
The Fighter Det was at the forefront of the counterISIL fight, setting a record of performance that the
CAF can reflect upon with pride. Thank you and best
wishes as you and your team prepare to return to
Canada and prepare to reintegrate with your families
and home units. Congratulations and know that the
CJOC team is proud of you.
On behalf of the CJOC CCWO, CWO Gaudreault,
and all ranks of the CJOC, BZ and safe travels home.
Cheers,

Fast fax facts:

especially
as fax machines slowly
disappear from the office
landscape.
(Here’s an interesting
tidbit: most faxes have
the word FAX at the top
of them. Just so you
know it’s not a slice of
toast.)
The
miracle
of
sending pictures and
documents
via
the
telegraph cables is losing
its lustre as more people
opt for the reliability of
scanned documents or
smart phone photos. I
say reliability because fax
machines are notorious
for not delivering as
promised, once you figure
out how to operate them
in the first place.
In the 1990s I knew
someone who worked
in the CF-18 Weapons
Systems Software Unit
in Cold Lake. She had
requested
information
from someone at the Jet
Propulsion
Laboratory
in Pasadena – a rocket
scientist, mind you – and
he faxed her some pages.
Minutes later he called
her in a panic. “I wasn’t
supposed to fax that to
you,” he said. “I need you
to fax it back to me right
away!”
Presumably
he
imagined his cubicle
was on the bridge of the
Enterprise, and the fax
machine was a documentsize teleporter.
Meanwhile, millions
of carrier pigeons are out

Improving Conflict and Complaint Management
Cdr William Mercer,

In

Operation
HONOUR,
General Vance stated:
“None of you will
be judged by how free
you are in terms of
complaints… You’re going
to be judged by what you’re
going to do about it”
Under development
for the last four years,
The Integrated Conflict /
Complaint Management
(IC2M) model proposes
a new way to manage
complaints
more
effectively through an
integrated
complaint
management
system
that is responsive to and
trusted by Canadian
Armed Forces (CAF)
members and the Chain
of Command (CoC).
IC2M
originated
during transformation
initiatives
to
force
a
rationalization
of
personnel
policies
and procedures while
taking the opportunity
to modernize primary
CAF Human Resources
processes. One of the
areas
targeted
early
for overhaul was CAF
complaints management.
In 2011, the Vice Chief
of the Defence Staff and
the Chief of Military
Personnel
launched
the Integrated Conflict
Management
Working
Group
(ICMWG)
with
appropriate
L1
representation.
The
ICMWG
employed
a
Business
Process
Redesign
(BPR)
methodology
to
holistically review existing
conflict
management
mechanisms. The review
focused on the military
grievance system, the
harassment
complaint
resolution system and
the alternative dispute
resolution system.
The
ICMWG
concluded that existing
mechanisms are complex,
lengthy and ineffective,
with no single oversight.
The CoC also reported
inadequate
situational
awareness
on
the
conflict portfolio and
lacked capacity to make
informed decisions early
in the process. The
BPR effort produced a
concept that integrates
the three processes in an
efficient, comprehensive
and
collaborative
manner, while ensuring
that every effort is made
to resolve complaints
early,
locally
and
informally. The IC2M
project was established
in 2014 by the VCDS with
a two-year mandate to
fully define the concept.
The new IC2M model
offers a one-stop-shop
process guided by local
staff at formation levels
trained in complaint
management/resolution
and supported by a
central agency. CAF
members
will
know
We are just a
click away!
where to go when they
have issues that require
resolution. They will
receive assistance early
in the process. IC2M
will help members help
themselves.
Should
that not suffice, CAF
members will be assisted
with full engagement of
the CoC to ensure that
the matter they identified
is formally acknowledged
and resolved. The model
also calls for a centrally
controlled harassment/
discrimination/abuse of
authority
investigation
capacity,
apportioned
as required, to provide
the CoC with CAF-wide
consistent investigation
standards and advice.
The IC2M will not let the
institution neglect our
members’ challenges.
It will aim to bring
closure early through
a
new
collaborative
resolution process. If
unsuccessful, IC2M will
shepherd the matter
through
the
formal
resolution system for
determination by an
appropriate authority. A
more effective complaint
management system will
yield a more effective
force.
It
will
also
strengthen the loyalty of
our members towards the

Fasting: The Jewish Tradition
Capt Lazer
Danzinger
Although there are
a number of rabbinical
ordained fast days, the
Torah mandates only one
– Yom Kippur, known as
the Day of Atonement.
On this day, not only
do we fast, but we
spend the entire day in
synagogue in prayer.
Let’s examine the deeper
significance of fasting
in this context, and this
will give us insight into
the Jewish view of fasting
general.
And this shall be an
everlasting statute for you:
in the seventh month, on the
tenth day of the month, you
shall afflict your souls . . .
Leviticus 16:29
In the World to Come,
there is neither eating
nor drinking . . .Talmud,
Berachot 17a
The human being
consists of a body and a
soul—a physical envelope
of flesh, blood, sinew
and bone, inhabited and
vitalized by a spiritual
force described by the
chassidic masters as
“literally a part of G‑d
above.”
Common
wisdom
has it that spirit is loftier
than matter, and the
soul holier (i.e., closer
to the divine) than the
body. This conception
seems to be borne out
by the fact that Yom
Kippur, the holiest day
of the year—the day on
which we achieve the
height of intimacy with
G‑d—is ordained by
the Torah as a fast day, union of body and soul
a day on which we derives from the body
seemingly
abandon itself.
Yom Kippur thus

than a more distant, drinking”—a statement

body. When a person understood to imply that

there is “neither eating

World to Come is not
due to an absence of
bodies and physical life,
but to the fact that in
this future world, “the
soul will be nourished by
the body” itself, and the
symbiosis of matter and
spirit that is man will
not require any outside

sustain it.
Today, the body

It is thus a day on
which we are “sustained

our sustenance from
the body itself. On this
holiest of days, the body
becomes a source of life
and nurture rather than
its recipient.

Capricorn - December 22 - January 19
The debate will never end. You, however, do not have
to be a part of it, Capricorn. Bow out while you still
have the chance. There are more pressing matters.
Aquarius - January 20 - February 18
Relationships tend to come and go. Hold close those
most dear, Aquarius, and let the rest go. If something
was meant to be, it will be. A youngster dazzles.
Pisces - February 19 - March 20
Oh, the irony, Pisces. What goes around comes
around, so be careful how you proceed. A health
crisis is abated with a new mode of treatment.
Aries - March 21 - April 19
You’ve done your homework. Now it’s time to put
what you have learned to use, Aries. A message is
clarified, and plans begin to take shape.
Taurus - April 20 - May 20
Some promises were meant to be broken, Taurus.
Don’t be afraid to back out, especially if you smell
something fishy. A deadline is extended.
Gemini - May 21 - June 21
A personal goal is reached, and a celebration is in
order. Invite those who kept you motivated, Gemini.
Complaints at home continue. Take them seriously.
Cancer - June 22 - July 22
Calm, cool and collected as always, Cancer. That’s
how you are and will remain, no matter what comes
your way this week. The chase begins for an antique.
Leo - July 23 - August 22
A shift in opinion gets a project going at work, and
you are put in charge, Leo. Choose your team
carefully. A report is disturbing, to say the least.
Virgo - August 23 - September 22
You can, Virgo, and you will. You will check off
everything from your to-do list, even that task you’ve
been avoiding for some time now. Hooray!
Libra - September 23 - October 22
Concerns grow at work with a change in guard. Stay
above the fray, Libra. There is more to it than meets
the eye. A debacle at home sends everyone into a
tizzy.
Scorpio - October 23 - November 21
Goodness gracious, Scorpio. Haven’t you done
enough? Scale back and let someone else have a
turn. Funds lost will be compensated for in other
ways.
Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21
News from a loved one throws you for a loop. Take
some time to digest the news before you react. There
is so much joy to be had, Sagittarius.
