  1. The 2013-14 Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) provides the forecasted full and incremental costs for fiscal year (FY) 2013-14. The 2012-13 Departmental Performance Report (DPR) provides final actual full and incremental costs for FY 2012-13.
  2. "Full DND Cost" is the sum of incremental cost plus the salaries of Regular Force personnel, equipment depreciation, command and support cost, as well as the operating cost of some major equipment, such as aircraft, that are within normal planned activity rates and, therefore, had not been included in incremental cost.
  3. "Incremental DND Cost" is the additional costs for personnel and equipment that are directly attributable to the Canadian Armed Forces operation. More specifically, incremental costs include the additional cost to deploy troops and equipment and to provide ongoing maintenance and support during the applicable operation, in addition to any specialized training required for the operation. DND does not include the full capital acquisition cost of major equipment in incremental cost, unless procured specifically for the mission with no life expectancy post operation, as this equipment will not be used in other CAF operations.
  4. OP CARIBBE - The increase in costs is largely due to the underestimation of ship's fuel costs at the time of the RPP.
  5. OP LAMA - A rapid-response operation to support Newfoundland communities in recovering from Hurricane Igor.
  6. OP NEVUS - The annual maintenance of communications facilities on Ellesmere Island.
