03/24 – Interim Reconstitution Employment Measure
Reason for modification:
With the Period of Retention coming to an end on 1 April 2025, options were considered for analysis and potential implementation to temporarily employ trained CAF members who do not meet Universality of Service at a time of critically low strength and depleted experience, affecting the CAF’s operational capabilities.
In response to these exceptional circumstances, the CAF has developed the Interim Reconstitution Employment measure (IREM). The IREM is a CAF Military Personnel Instruction that supports CAF Reconstitution and allows for CAF members within a CAF occupation experiencing a critical shortage, or those who hold a required specific skill set, who might otherwise be obligated to release from the CAF for medical or other reasons, to continue their service in uniform on an interim basis
Change Notice, 2024-06-21 (Minor)
01/06 – Course Reporting and Certificates
Reason for modification:
- Removal of Appendixes for CF 377 and CF 289 and text referencing appendixes. This will address questions concerning different versions of the forms and there is no loss having an image of the forms removed from the policies given link to the DFC has been added as a new “Related Reference”.
- Changes to Terminology. CF, MA, and MASM to be updated to CAF, TA/DTA and TASM respectively. These terminology updates do not change the intent of the policy, but only to provide accuracy/clarity as per discussion at ref C.
- Change to enquiries organization (para 1.5). DTEP no longer exists, so having CDA/Dir IT&E will ensure organization assigned with policy responsibilities is accurately reflected.
- Minor modifications to Annex A text (beyond updates from 1st bullet):
- Para 5 for Certificate of Achievement. Removal of sentence that paper copies are available from supply system as this is no longer the case.
- Para 5 and 6. Removed reference to “Omniform” (no longer available), added “as fillable” PDF, and updated DFC link.
- Paragraph 9. Sentence added at the end of the paragraph to clarify that CF 377 form is now a fillable PDF and all mandatory blocks must be completed in order to obtain an electronic signature. Removal of yellow highlights throughout document. As discussed at ref C, it is suspected the sentences/text with yellow highlights may have been from a previous minor update and are not required.
