213. SPECIAL FORCE (MOBILIZATION) OCCUPATIONAL STRUCTURE
1. As authorized in the National Defence Act, the Governor in Council may
establish a Special Force (Mobilization) in an emergency, or if considered
desirable by the Canadian Government. It may consist of:
a. Officers and NCM of the Reg F;
b. Officers and NCM of the Reserve Force (Res F); and
c. Officers and NCM not of the Reg F or Res F who are enroled for
continuing, full-time military service.
2. The Special Force (Mobilization) Occupational Structure is:
a. the criteria for manning CF war establishments;
b. the mechanism for controlling and managing personnel during all phases
of mobilization; and
c. the template to build the PRes and Reg F occupational structures.
3. Members will be enrolled, selected, trained and assigned to do a specific job
for the duration of the emergency or war based on the principle of one member-one
job. In mobilization or other emergency, operational requirements take priority
over career concerns normally associated with PRes and Reg F personnel management.
214. PRES OCCUPATIONAL STRUCTURE
1. The PRes is a sub-component of the Reserve Force (Res F) and consists of
members who have undertaken to perform, whether on active service or not, such
duty and training as may be required of them. The primary role of the Res F is
augmentation and sustainment for Reg F Units. The occupational structure of the
PRes is shown at Annexes A and B to this chapter. This occupational structure
indicates that PRes personnel are not trained to the full scope of performance
requirements, and do not have access to the assignment opportunities, of their Reg
F counterparts. Adhering to the principle of operational effectiveness, PRes
occupations must be structured in such a way as to be able to carry out at least
one complete Special Force (Mobilization) job. These PRes occupations must also be
structured to provide reasonable career opportunities for reservists with due
consideration to their unique employment constraints.
215. REG F OCCUPATIONAL STRUCTURE
1. The Reg F consists of Officers and NCM who are enroled for continuing full-
time military service. To satisfy the manning requirements of a full-time
professional military force, effective personnel management is necessary to
provide those who develop and demonstrate the motivation, experience and
potential, an opportunity to achieve greater skills and to accept more demanding
responsibilities. The Reg F occupational structure is characterized by initial
exposure to an occupation, and the acquisition of experience and new skills that
can provide opportunities for personnel to develop and advance in accordance with
CF operational needs and individual abilities. The Reg F occupational structure is
shown at Annexes A and B to this chapter.
