Adopt New Titles
at CFB Clinton
For the first time in its history the military establish-
ment at ,Clinton is to come under the command of a Colonel.
Thiswill result not because of a change of personnel but
rather because of the new rank structure which will come
inte effect on 1st February, 1968, with the implementation
of the Canadian Forces Reorganization Act.
Although only one aspect Of the reorganization of the
Canadian Forces, the eew rank strizeturgl will probably have
the greatest pers,onal impact. The comaton, rank structures,
as ontlined below, will be used on all offibiel documents and
business of the members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Tra-
ditional ranks will be retained only by navypersonnel in
clearly defined "navy" jobs. Off-dfuty personnel, if they so
elect; may use their traditional rank titles foe social purposes.
Group Captain E. W. Ryatewill assume the new title
Colonel for all oceasions, following the implementation
