OBJECTIVE Objective The objective of this document is to create a record of the people who served as members of the command teams of the various formations and units that made up CFCS / CFCC: • During its life span from 1965 to 1994; and • Where possible, to collect command team data on pre-CFCS / precursor units (i.e., pre-1965)

and on successor units (i.e., post-1994) that continued after CFCC was disbanded. Challenges A big challenge is that most CFCS / CFCC units are now either disbanded or reorganized into other existing or new units. Also, much of the pre-1965 former single service data may be difficult to impossible to recover as records may no longer exist or are very difficult to locate. Data Sources The main sources of data collected for this document are: • People The principle resource for this data would be the people who served in CFCS /

CFCC, in its precursor (pre-1965) and successor (post-1994) units; • Units Units collected and compiled data from their historical records and other artefacts; • Books Other data was sourced in two important books - “Semaphore to Satellite” by BGen

WJ Patterson and “History of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals 1903 to 1961” by JS Moir; • Unit Histories Individual unit history documents; • “Rogues’ Galleries” – Photo collections of former unit COs and RSMs / SSMs; • Unit Plaques Plaques listing unit COs and RSMs / SSMs; and • Internet Postings – Various sites and documents found through Google searching. Data Collection Approach This Command Team list was initially developed by soliciting individual inputs from as many people and units as possible who served in or were part of CFCS / CFCC or in its precursor and successor units in any capacity. Draft lists were compiled and circulated to stimulate addttional thought and research. People are usually able to better see opportunities to contribute data when they see a partial list and start filling in blanks or noticing errors, rather than looking at a blank sheet of paper. Additional inputs were received and the draft lists were updated to create a new version. This iterative process is intended to allow as many people as possible to contribute to it and to keep updating and re-circulating the list until we can gather no additional input or corrections. Results Sharing All data included in this document will also be shared with CFCC successor units so that they may continue to use it to build out their unit histories over time. Suggestions, Additions and Corrections Should you have any suggestions for corrections, additions or modifications to this document, please email them to [email protected] . EDITOR – Brigadier General (Ret) RK (Bob) Martineau • Commanding Officer, 715 Communication Squadron (1976 - 1978) • Commander, 71 Communication Group (1981 - 1983) • Deputy Chief of Staff Operations, CFCC Headquarters (1983 - 1986) • Chief of Staff, CFCC Headquarters (1989 - 1992) • Commander, CFCC (1992 - 1994) • DG IMO / IMSD, DISO (1994 to 1997)

INDEPENDENTUNITS79 COMMUNICATIONS REGIMENT

Unit Provenance • No 1 Canadian Line of Communication Signals was part of the Canadian Army in World War

II, linking the national command authority in Ottawa and other reinforcements and resupply installations in Canada with Canadian Army commanders, headquarters and formations in the UK and continental Europe. (See Semaphore to Satellite, p 131, 543.)

• Experience with UN operations in the 1970s and 1980s led to the inclusion of a Line-of-Communications communication unit in the CF “Required War Structure” in 1986.

• This need was again validated in 1990 in the first Persian Gulf War. • In 1990, CFCC began preparations to stand up a new Line-of-Communications unit, to be

named 79 Communication Regiment. Once permission was granted, CFCCHQ initially created a small staff cell in 1990 to better design, organize and equip the new unit.

• The formal stand up of the unit was in 1992 in CFB Kingston using a small number of regular force personnel as well as Communication Reserve members. In 1992, 79 Communication Regiment assumed command of the Long Range Communication Terminals (LRCTs) from 1 Canadian Signal Regiment. Development of the unit continued in earnest through the mid 1990s in support of CF operational deployments, such as in Bosnia.

• In 1997, 79 Communication Regiment absorbed 1 Line Troop. • In 2000, 79 Communication Regiment was merged with 1st Canadian Division Headquarters

and Signal Regiment to form the Canadian Forces Joint Signal Regiment (CFJSR). Commanding Officers Unit CWOs
