In accordance with Vice Chief of Defence Staff’s (VCDS) and Chief Combat Systems Integration (CCSI) guidance, the CFHS Strategy publication: Modern and Ready delivers a well-crafted vision for the renewed emphasis on the prioritization of DND/CAF healthcare objectives. The latest Defence Policy Update (DPU) and Our North Strong and Free (ONSAF) policy direction has also informed processes related to future Canadian military healthcare. Similarly, the CDS/DM Directive for the delivery of ready, resilient, and relevant forces specifically addresses the requirement for enhanced CFHS capabilities, and HS Strat serves as the CFHS lead agency in articulating and staffing these project requirements. Correspondingly, a senior-level project manager/administrator is required to support HS Strat in the staffing of all pertinent documentation necessary in securing formal DND/CAF/DCB governance approval.
