3. Definitions
Enhanced training session. ETSs are activities outside of regular JCR training and are designed to complement the community-level program. ETSs often provide a chance for JCRs to travel away from home, and should include activities that JCRs could not participate to within their own patrols.
Ranger Skills. Skills modelled on those of the Canadian Rangers, such as marksmanship, navigation, drill and wilderness survival.
4. Opportunities for Canadian Armed Forces Familiarization
4.1 The JCR Program is designed to include CAF Famil activities delivered by CR and other CA personnel. The Ranger Skills learned by JCR provide an opportunity for JCRs to observe and participate in typical CR activities.
4.2 During activities away from their home communities, JCR have opportunities to see a wider range of CAF Famil activities, both within the CA and other elements of the CAF. Opportunities for JCR to engage with CAF personnel and use CAF equipment may be scheduled as part of any ETS, where location and conditions permit.
4.3 JCR CAF Famil activities complement the overall JCR program desired outcomes.
