'Military leaders like to say that 'people are our most valuable resource,' and yet this most precious commodity has been steadily leaving [CAF] for years.'

for the military while it attempts to solve its recruitment and staffing problems. “We need to rebuild the Armed Forces, we need to get the numbers back up,” he said, “and we’ve got to do it with a sense of urgency and priority because it is affecting our ability to respond around the world.”

Military leaders like to say that “people are our most valuable resource,” and yet this most precious commodity has been steadily leaving for years. This is a reflection of CAF members’ sense that they are not valued; indeed, while leaders talk about the value of their people, they just as often talk about “the primacy of operations”: the idea that the missions assigned by the Canadian government come first – and thus, people come second.

The military promotion process has a similar problem. Advancement evaluations are largely based on individual performance and qualifications, and at the mid-rank level, success is judged by how one commands an operation. But these approaches don’t incentivize people-focused and team-oriented leadership. Promotions and other rewards should be given to members who are effective at motivating and directing an efficient team that can overcome challenges.
