National Defence Headquarters (NDHQ) In the years following Unification in 1968, problems were identified in the management of the Department of National Defence, especially concern over capital acquisition programs and an apparent duplication of interests and involvement on the part of the Deputy Minister's Office, Canadian Forces Headquarters and the Defence Research Board. A Management Review Group was appointed in 1971 and directed to address and report on these concerns. The result was a merger of both civilian staff under the Deputy Minister of Defence and military staff of the Chief of the Defence Staff into one National Defence Headquarters. This organization remained in effect throughout the remainder of the 20th Century and beyond. |
