Work environment

The Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) work together to fulfill the Government of Canada’s mission to defend Canadian interests and values, and to contribute to international peace and security. DND is the largest federal government department in Canada and is part of the Public Service of Canada. Internally, DND and the CAF are collectively termed the Defence Team and civilians make up close to 25 per cent of the organization. As public servants and members of the Defence Team, civilians work side-by-side with CAF personnel for the defence of Canada and Canada’s contribution to international security and stability efforts.

Civilians are a vital part of enabling the Department’s mandate and objectives, and occupy more than 100 types of occupation classifications supporting the CAF in serving Canada’s interests with distinction, both at home and abroad - more than 65 per cent of the DND civilian population working outside the National Capital Region in a variety of capacities.

The success of the Defence Team relationship stems from the concepts of fairness and mutual respect. Among the crucial roles that civilians play within the three environments of the CAF , roles such as accountants, administrative support officers, auditors, business specialists, defence scientists, economists, engineers, human resources professionals, information systems specialists, policy researchers, procurement officers, public relations professionals, real property administrators, and university professors form the largest groups of civilians working as part of the Defence Team.
