It's About Time: The Renewal of the Canadian Armed Forces' Ethos

Much like its predecessor ethos embedded within Duty with Honour: The Profession of Arms in Canada (2009), the Canadian Armed Forces Ethos: Trusted to Serve was written during a tumultuous time in Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) history. Here, Martinelli et al aim to capture the strategic evolution of the CAF Ethos during this period (2018-2022) and outline the key challenges and opportunities that this renewal has afforded. The challenges and opportunities range from the conceptual to the specific and from the significant to the minor in nature. All are important evolutions in the CAF Ethos to move the profession forward towards a better future. The benefits of incorporating inclusion have already been borne out through subsequent Chief of Professional Conduct and Culture (CPCC) initiatives related to inclusive teams and inclusive leadership.
