VAdm McFadden's rise through the ranks from 04-05 as Capt[N] to now takes my breath away. The man is jet propelled.
Seeing Capt[N] Truelove moving up too made me blink. Seems like yesterday that he was the XO on Preserver. I feel like Rip Van Winkle waking up after years asleep and seeing all the changes.

And BGen Jaeger's new post...
Jungle drums suggest CLS is good for another year before moving elsewhere; and I suspect DComd LFCA will be named when the time is right (and the selected individual is ready).
A bit of a summary from CP
Major changes coming in top ranks of the Canadian military
20 hours ago
Article Link
OTTAWA — There will be a major shakeup in the top ranks of the Canadian military over the next few months as most of the senior commanders are replaced.
The Canadian Forces Expeditionary Command, which oversees the war in Afghanistan, the air force, the navy and the military command responsible for the defence of Canada will all get new leaders.
The only the commanders of the army and the special forces are staying stay in place.
The changes will come throughout 2009.
Most of the changes are due to retirements, but it is unclear why Lt.-Gen. Michel Gauthier, who has directed the Kandahar deployment since 2006, is being replaced.
Maj-.Gen. Marc Lessard, who recently returned after commanding all NATO troops in southern Afghanistan, will be promoted to succeed Gauthier.
Lt.-Gen. Angus Watt is retiring as chief of the air staff after less than two years in the job.
He will be replaced by Maj.-Gen. Andre Deschamps.
The commander of the navy, Vice-Admiral Drew Robertson, is also leaving the Forces, to be replaced by Rear-Admiral Dean McFadden.
Defence Minister Peter MacKay, in announcing the shakeup, says there is no doubt in his mind that the new leaders will rise to the challenges that lie ahead.
Some of the changes will see battle-tested commanders, such as Brig.-Gen. David Fraser and Brig.-Gen. Denis Thompson, moved to senior staff positions to help shape the future of the army.
Like Lessard, Fraser served as NATO's top soldier in Afghanistan's regional command south.
Thompson, the current commander of Canadian troops in Kandahar, will become the director of land staff in Ottawa.
Gen. Walter Natyncyzk, chief of the defence staff, said the new crop of officers bring a wealth of experience to their jobs.

Correction: Fraser commanded Canadian and coalition troops in the Canadian Area of Operations (Kandahar Province), as Thompson currently is; he was never Commander of Regional Command (South), like Lessard.

Confirmed; thank you for the correction.Chanada said:
Few familiar names there
VAdm Bruce Donaldson was on a number of MARS courses with me-good guy for a swabbie;
MGen Daniel Benjamin was my roommate way back when we were rooks at RMC;
MGen Mark McQuillan was also a classmate and we did a number of Logistics courses together at the School, excellent choice to replace Benjamin;
I worked for BGen Pitre a couple of weeks on a aborted tasking at CFOCS, he was a Capt Coy 2i/c, seemed like a good guy AWC as I recall;
I was in MGen Ian Poulters wedding party, in fact provided the swords for it out of my QM. Crazy guy but well deserving of the honour.
Played trivia with Comdr R MacIssac for about two years every Monday night at an Orleans pub, knew him at RMC as a first year when he was a holy terror of a fourth year. Great guitar player. He also was directly responsible for getting me into the Army as I was working for him in the Naden pay office reconsiling cheques (fun job-not) when he asked me what I wanted to do in the Log Branch. I said I did not give a hoot as long as I was not Navy. I was posted to 3 PPCLI in Work Point Barracks the next day which was Pearl Harbour Day 1981 Thanks Roger, though I wondered what I had done when Jan rolled around and I was leaving for Rapier Thrust 82 and all the MARS bars I had been with before CTing on reclass were leaving for Hawaii!!!!!!
Knew a handful of other on pastings or courses or at RMC.

I study Military politics for fun - and have followed the General ranking biographical background in previous job postings for the general ranking officers of the CF for the past 10 years.
General senior promotions and appointments:
First I want to make a note on General Natynczyk's recent appointment and promotion to CDS:
It was a close call between Gen Natynczyk and L-Gen Leslie. Both gentlemen are intelligent and experienced and have taken up major Land force and NDHQ jobs at NDHQ.
L-Gen Andrew B. Leslie, CMM, OMM, MSC, MSM, CD, CUSLM (Commander of the US Legion of Military Merit) :
- 2000 he was appointed Commander J6 of the Canadian Forces, responsible for commanding the communications field groups and regiments, the signals and electronic intelligence functions and supporting the various computer networks used by the Forces.
- 2002 he became the Commander Land Force Central Area, responsible for one regular and three reserve Brigades as well as several bases and training establishments. (This is a major appointment in being a candidate for the appointment of Assistant Chief of Land Staff)
- 2003 Promoted to M-Gen and appointed Commander Task Force Kabul and Deputy Commander of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.
- 2003 appointed Assistant Chief of Land Staff (This is a major appointment in being a candidate for the appointment of Chief of Land Staff
- 2004 appointed Commander Land Force Doctrine and Training System while also being a full time PhD student at RMC - most likely in Defense intelligence or military strategic planning
- 2005 Appointed Director General - Strategic Planning (This is a very major and important appointment at NDHQ)
- 2006 Promoted and appointed Chief of Land Staff - replacing L-Gen Marc Caron - (This was an appropriate decision seeing that he had filled the appointment of Assistant chief of Land staff - and for the past 3 or 4 Chief of land staffs all of them had been previous Assistant chief of land staff before being promoted to this position.
- I predict in 2010 L-Gen Leslie will be appointed to become the Vice Chief of defense Staff when V-Adm Rouleau Retires. This is because he would have filled in the post of Chief of Land Staff for about 4 years which is an automatic change of command to being replaced and being appointed to VCDS. Remember V-Adm Ron Buck - the previous Chief of Maritime Staff and Vice Adm Madison. Also I am not sure that L-Gen Leslie will have the opportunity to become the CDS due to the unpredictability of the appointment requirements seeing that this post is selected by the Prime Minister. So his best luck is to get the VCDS. The VCDS is the 2nd top position in the military - However it serves as a "Senior Floating Position" Like at the time Deputy chief of defense staff -----where you don't really need to be a previous elemental chief to take that post. However most of the time you do require that post to become a VCDS or the CDS. That is why I was confused when Gen Natynczyk was appointed to become the VCDS - because he has never commanded a Canadian Brigade or contingent at NDHQ Level. Like Commander Land force central area at B-Gen level or Assistant Chief of Land staff at M-Gen Level. -However he has filled in senior M-Gen positions...like Commander of Land Force Doctrine and Training System and Chief of Transformation and most notably Deputy Commanding General, III Corps and Fort Hood, Texas and deployed with III Corps to Baghdad, Iraq in 2004 serving first as the Deputy Director of Strategy, Policy and Plans and subsequently as the Deputy Commanding General of the Multi-National Corps (which would be equivalent to an Army Commander seeing that the US forces are way bigger then ours.)
Gen Walter J. Natynczyk CMM, MSC, CD, OUSLM (Officer of the US Leigon of Military Merit):
- 2002 - Appointed to Deputy Commanding General, III Corps and Fort Hood, Texas
- 2004 - Appointed to Deputy Director of Strategy, Policy and Plans and subsequently as the Deputy Commanding General of the Multi-National Corps.
- 2005 Promoted to M-Gen and Appointed Commander Land Force Doctrine and Training System
- 2006 Appointed Chief of Transformation (Major position to becoming VCDS this position is = to Director General - Strategic Planning)
- 2007 Promoted to L-Gen and appointed Vice Chief of Defense Staff (VCDS)
-2008 Promoted to Gen
I predict in 2011 Gen Natynczyk will retire seeing that this appointed position is a 3 year term on avg and can be asked to stay for an additional year if the minister needs time finding the suitable replacement. If this happens L-Gen Leslie may have an opportunity to serve in the (4th year) of Natynczyk’s term if he retires if L-Gen Leslie assumes VCDS in 2010. Likewise when L-Gen Leslie Is replaced for Chief of Land staff (CLS) only the Previous assistant chief of Land staff(on avg this is a 2 year posiiton) will have an opertunity to become a candidate for that positon. and they include:
1- L-Gen Lessard (he was Assistant chief of Land Staff in 2005)
2. M-Gen Thibult (he was Assistant Chief of Land Staff in 2007)
3. M-Gen Howard (is the Assistant Chief of Land Staff in 2009)
Anyways moving on understanding the 2009 Appointments

Major Senior Military officer Appointments for 2009
Chief of Maritime Staff
• Vice Adm. P.D. McFadden will be appointed Chief of the Maritime Staff at National
Defense Headquarters (NDHQ), in Ottawa, replacing Vice Adm. D.W. Robertson ...;
This is a good choice seeing that he will be the current senior serving maritime force personal. Also he has been the Commander of Maritime Force Atlantic which is above or equal to an assistant chief of maritime Staff. Likewise, he has also served as the Commander of Canada Command which is usually held by either a Navy admiral or Air general seeing that the Commander of Expeditionary force Command is usually held by an Army general. This position was given to him also seeing that R-Adm Pile and R-Adm Madison are on the verge of retiring as well and they have only recently become Commanders of Maritime force Pacific and Atlantic. - Usually a R-Adm - commander of either maritime pacific or Atlantic have an opportunity to become the CMS. Not the Assistant chief of Maritime staff seeing in this case its more of an administrative assistant level rather then commanding level.
Chief of Air Staff
• Maj.-Gen. J.P.A. Deschamps will be promoted Lt.-Gen (Acting while so employed)
and appointed Chief of the Air Staff at NDHQ ... replacing Lt.-Gen W.A. Watt ... ;
This is also a good choice because Deschampes is a very decorated Air General who has allot of experience:
He was deployed to the Gulf Region on OP ATHENA as the Commander of the Theatre Support Element (TSE) - Camp Mirage. Following his return, he was posted to Trenton as the new Wing Commander of 8 Wing/CFB Trenton on 5 July 2004(This is a major position in the air staff for the appointment to Assistant Chief of Air Staff).
On 11 April 2006, he was promoted to the rank of Brigadier-General and was appointed Chief of Staff - Operations, Canadian Expeditionary Force Command in Ottawa on 1 May 2006. (Again this is a major position in NDHQ).
In June 2008, he was promoted to his current rank and appointed Assistant Chief of the Air Staff.
Major-General Deschamps has served in three of the five Air Force Commands, accumulating approximately 7,500 flying hours.
Commander of Canada Command
• Rear Adm. A.B. Donaldson will be promoted Vice Adm. and appointed Commander
Canada Command in Ottawa, replacing Vice Adm. P.D. McFadden;
Rear Admiral Bruce Donaldson was appointed Director General - Strategic Joint Staff in June of 2007 (this again is a major position at NDHQ). in 2005 he spent two years as Commander of Maritime force Pacific(this again is a major position to be selected as Chief of maritime staff). So this new appointment would be almost equal to it.
Commander of Canadian Expeditionary Force Command
• Maj.-Gen. J.G.M. Lessard will be promoted Lt.-Gen and appointed Commander Canadian Expeditionary Force Command, in Ottawa, replacing Lt.-Gen J.C.M. Gauthier;
L-Gen Gauthier has been in this position for 4 years and it is time for an automatic change of command. Therefore, this position is pretty much open to someone who is part of the Land forces who has been in at least some sort of Joint Task force Afghanistan appointment who is currently a M-Gen.
This is a good choice seeing that he is in a very senior command appointment relating to an Expeditionary posting. Also he is the most senior M-Gen in the Land forces seeing that he has also already served in 205 as the Assistant chief of Land staff.
Chief of Land Staff
L-Gen Leslie will most likely have to give up his command in 2010 since it will be 4 years in this post (usually a 3 year term) and become the VCDS in 2010 (MOST LIKELY). Likewise, the following Land force Generals are good Candidates for the position: In order or seniority
MAJOR-GENERAL LESSARD J., CMM, MSC, CD - COMMANDER CANADIAN EXPIDITIONARY FORCE COMMAND
MAJOR-GENERAL BEARE S., CMM, MSM, CD - CHIEF OF FORCE DEVELOPMENT
MAJOR-GENERAL DEVLIN P., CMM, MSC, CD - DEPUTY COMMANDER EXPIDITIONARY FORCE COMMAND
