EXTERNAL REVIEW INTO SEXUAL

MISCONDUCT AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Annex F and the link found below provide information on the external review into

NAMING CONVENTIONS
CADET TRAINING CENTRES / CADET TRAINING SITES

1.
The new naming conventions for training centres currently used to conduct
cadet activities throughout the year is attached as Annex K. These conventions take
effect immediately and should be used in all official documentation. CATOs and other
official publications will be amended accordingly during periodic reviews.
2.
A decision was made to not give a specific name to Cadet Training Sites that
operate from the same location as Cadet Training Centres. For example, where Cadet
Flying Training Centres currently exist in Gimli, Bagotville, Valcartier, Debert and
Greenwood, the flying sites that operate from the same location will not be given a
specific name and cadets will fly from the existing Cadet Training Centre. The same
reasoning will apply where Expedition Sites or Nautical Sites are located where Cadet
Training Centres exist. If flying, expedition or sailing activities are moved away from a
CTC, then they will be given a name using the specifics of the new location.
3.
Adopting naming conventions that standardize how people refer to
establishments of same function will enhance our capacity to administer the CCO in a
more cohesive manner. It will also send the signal that training establishments are
open to cadets of the three elements and that they can feel at home wherever they are
being trained. This standardization ensures that we use a common terminology for
similar establishments.
306/14.

SUBMISSION OF ATTENDANCE REGISTERS

1.
DND 2893 Attendance Registers may be submitted after the 15th and last day of
the month in which Class A service was performed. To ensure that pay is generated in
a timely manner, corps, squadrons and sites should be aware that:

member on the last day of that month; and

b.

attendance received by the last day of that month will normally be paid to
the member on the 15th of the following month.

2.
Instructions for the completion of the DND 2893 may be found on the reverse of
the form. Attendance Register may be sent by mail, by FAX at 1-877-287-0398 and if

ACTIVATION OF ELECTRONIC PAY STATEMENTS

1.
Authority to activate electronic pay statements for all members has been
received. Attached as Annex I is the Electronic Pay Guide Waiver form, that is also
available on SharePoint on the CCO Net. This is to be completed by all members who
cannot create an EMAA account on the DWAN, in order to set up the electronic pay
statement delivery option. If you already have an EMAA account, then there is no need
for you to take action again. It is the members responsibility to submit the form directly
to the Human Resources Information Center (HRIC) by FAX to: (613) 995-4017 or by
e-mail to: hric@forces.gc.ca.
2.
Personnel Support will continue to send out pay statements to corps, squadron
and site COs until 31 Dec 14. Members are expected to take action in a timely manner.
3.
EMAA (and electronic pay statements) is only available to active CAF members,
because no information is populated in EMAA for Supplementary Reserve members
and civilian instructors. Personnel Support will continue to provide pay statements for
civilian instructors. We have enquired with HRIC regarding a means by which civilian
instructors could also receive electronic pay statements and will advise when more
information is available.

We have been advised that the current service provider for duty commercial air
bookings does not arrange for seat assignment when a flight is booked. Members may
wait until 24 hours before the departure time and book a seat directly with the carrier,
but there are times when the airline overbooks.
2.
Members should book their seats as soon as possible to avoid disappointment at
the airport. Should the member find that the flight has been oversold, they should
contact their travel arranger as soon as possible.

USE OF FORTRESS

1.
The use of Fortress is mandatory IAW CATO 12-40 and current data shall be
maintained in Fortress. Corps COs shall ensure that their staff have the appropriate
access to Fortress and are utilizing the areas of Fortress applicable to their duties.
2.
Corps staff with authority to access Fortress are prevented from entering or
amending data with an effective date greater than 60 days retroactively. For example,
if you wish to enter a cadet's TOS or promotion date on 1 Dec 14, you cannot enter an
effective date any earlier than 1 Oct 14.
3.
If an entry older than 60 days is required, the corps may submit a request to their
ACO. If approved, the entry will be made in Fortress by RCSU (Northwest) staff. Some
fields such as Personal and Medical Information are not affected by this. This policy
ensures that the most accurate information possible is available in Fortress.

4.
The requirement for corps to complete data entries for cadet attendance and
training information in Fortress on a regular and consistent basis is critical to the corps.
Accurate Fortress information is essential to determine corps quotas for cadets and
staff, CSTC allotments, corps funding and supply entitlements.
5.

THE RCSU COMMANDING OFFICERS COIN

1.
Corps, squadron, training site and training centre COs are advised that the
RCSU CO's Coin is used to recognize individuals who make a "notable contribution to
the CCO", and is given in appreciation for leadership, dedication, grit and work such as
but not limited to:
a.

organizing visit, exercises or competitions;

b.

citizenship;

c.

assuming additional responsibilities in support of the CCO;

d.

for being a good example for others;

e.

support provided to cadets; and

f.

other activities.

2.
Note that this coin is primarily meant for cadets and those not eligible for other
RCSU CO's Awards (League / local sponsor members). However, it can be awarded to
military members (CIC and COATS) in circumstances where a recognition is deserved,
but does not merit a tier two RCSU CO's Award.
3.
Recommendations for the RCSU COs Coin should be made via e-mail to the
applicable elemental OIC Training and must include a brief substantiation of why the
individual is deserving of this level of recognition.
319/14.

TRAVEL TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES

1.
CF members proceeding to foreign destinations either on duty or non-duty travel
always face a certain element of risk. The threat continuum involved in foreign travel
can range from minor annoyances, such as petty crime, through increasingly serious
dangers such as Byzantine currency, citizenship and social regulations, national military
service, all the way to even greater threats such as terrorism or espionage. Members
travelling outside Canada offer foreign intelligence services a significant positional
advantage by allowing a hostile agency to operate from the safety of a friendly base, at
no risk to themselves.
2.
Members proceeding on duty or non-duty travel outside Canada or the USA may
require a defensive security briefing (DSB) to assist in protecting them and the
Department from the potential threats involved in foreign travel. On their return,
members may require defensive security debriefings (DSD) so as to assess the actual

REGIONAL CADET SUPPORT UNIT (NORTHWEST)

PAGE 20
threat and/or possible damage to DND/CF interests, as well as to improve future
briefings to better protect our members.
3.
CF members proceeding on duty travel outside Canada or the USA are required
to notify the CF National Counter-Intelligence Unit (CFNCIU) as far in advance of their
departure date as possible by contacting the Unit Security Supervisor or the Assistant
Unit Security Supervisor at RCSU (Northwest) so that a Notification of Intent to Travel
may be submitted. A CFNCIU member will contact the traveller and make appropriate
arrangements for any required briefing or debriefing. CF members who are proceeding
on vacation (non-duty) travel outside of Canada or the USA are strongly encouraged to
notify the CFNCIU.
