Assignment of Military Personnel to the United Nations Command Military Armistice Commission (UNCMAC) through the OUT-OF-CANADA Program (OUTCAN)

Case number

• 2013-069 (F&R Date: 2014–08–29)

Description

Through the submission of the current grievance, it came to the attention of the Committee that not only the grievor but his immediate predecessor and others who followed as part of Canada’s latest military contribution to the UNCMAC in South Korea, were assigned through the OUTCAN Programme rather than through a formal Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) operation.

Recommendation

The Committee recommended that Canada’s latest contribution to the UNCMAC be amended to reflect a CAF operation.

The Committee recommended that the record of those CAF members who preceded or followed the grievor’s deployment to the UNCMAC, be amended to reflect an operational tour, that their entitlements and benefits be reviewed in light of this recommendation and that they be informed and provided with a copy of the Committee’s report.

Final Authority Decision

The FA did not endorse the Committee's systemic recommendation.
