Canadian Cadet General Order (CANCDTGEN)

RCAF New Ranks

Ref: 10001-4 (D Air Sp) RCAF DEU Update – Master Implementation Plan, 13 Mar 15

1. The intent of this document is to provide guidance to D Cdts & JCR, RCSUs and their units concerning the authorized process to be used to order the RCAF DEU new ranks and accoutrements and for the reimbursement of the tailoring.


2. All members (Reg F, P Res, COATS) of the Canadian Cadet Organizations who wear the RCAF DEU will soon be able to log into their personal Logistik Unicorp (LU) account and order their DEU update kits. It is recommended that members wearing the RCAF DEU check their LU account regularly. A pop-up message will indicate when the DEU update kits are available. No partial shipment will be processed by LU until all accoutrements within the individual order are available. The DEU update kits will be shipped directly to the member’s address associated with their LU account.


3. Once members have received their DEU update kits, they will be responsible to find a local tailor to have the alterations done to only one lightweight tunic. There is no entitlement to a new uniform and the RCAF intends to phase out the heavyweight tunic. Actual expenses for tailoring of one uniform can be claimed with a receipt via a General Allowance claim (CF52) and coded to IO 215721. Since tailoring will be done locally, there will be no reimbursement for mileage, meals, or any other charges besides the tailoring fees supported by receipt to be reimbursed to the members. Maximum amount to be reimbursed for the alterations is $30 (plus taxes) for the NCMs and $45 (plus taxes) for the officers. RCSUs must use their own funds to pay for these costs ensuring IO 215721 is reflected in the financial coding. This will permit the CCO to recover these costs. As per the MIP at ref, all DEU project costs must be SA’d from the Cadet Program Budget to the Project budget NLT 15 Feb 2016; therefore, it is crucial that the members process their CF52s as soon as possible after their tailoring is completed. The National CJCR Support Group Comptroller section will monitor and carry out any financial requirements/reports associated with this activity.
