Overview: This paper begins by undertaking a review of the relevant literature related to the concept of civil-military relations. The paper will then explore the existing reality of elected and civilian ignorance of the role and operations of the CF with the aim of offering some solutions for building a more constructive relationship. The final section of the paper addresses the issue of "officer bloat" in the CF and how it has had a fundamental impact on the perception of the leadership of the officer corps by both its civilian counterparts in DND and within the CF.
