CPO1 Bob Horan

Directorate of History and Heritage
CF Dress, Ceremonial and Protocol

Greetings Everyone,

		I would like to take the opportunity to provide you with an overview of my responsibilities
		as the CF Dress, Drill and Ceremonial CPO1 at the Directorate of History and Heritage. Knowing the services we provide will, I trust, be invaluable to you as stewards as at one time or another we are all involved in the many aspects of protocol and traditions.

		Here is a brief list of what we do at DHH 3:

provide staff advice to the Inspector of Canadian Forces Colours and Badges

responsible for the administration of CF Dress Instructions (A-AD-265-000/AG-001)

responsible for the administration of the CF Manual of Drill and Ceremonial
(A-AD-201-000/PT-000)

		Responsible for the administration of The Heritage Structure of the CF (A-AD-200-
		000/AG-000), and in particular the following sections:

Flags (Chapter 4)

Colours (Chapter 5)

Badges and Mottoes (Chapter 6)

Marches and Calls (Chapter 7)

Alliances and Affiliations (Chapter 8)

Days of Commemoration (Chapter 9)

Naming of Works, Buildings and Geographical Features (Chapter 10)

Military Forms of Address (Chapter 11)

		I invite you to browse the aforementioned publications in order to familiarize yourselves with
		the various policies that apply. If you do not have hard copy versions of the publications you can view them on line at:

		A very important duty that we perform involves the identification of our unknown sailors,
		soldiers, airmen and air women. Whether successful in identifying the remains or not, we are responsible for the planning, organization and conduct of all overseas military funerals, in collaboration with VAC and local authorities, for the pre-1970 remains of our fallen.

		In addition to military funerals, we also assist in the planning, organization, negotiations and
		conduct of overseas military commemorative ceremonies in collaboration with VAC, other federal departments and non-governmental organizations.

		Starting in the New Year DHH will be submitting many articles to the Maple Leaf and, as a
		fellow steward; I promise that we will not forget the history of our messes and the vital role our trade plays in the CF.

		If you have any questions about any issue that is ‘part of my ship’, do not hesitate to contact
		me. My staff and I will do our best to provide you with the answer you require or at the very least, point you in the right direction.

Bob Horan
