The Cadet Instructors Cadre () is a sub-component of the Canadian Forces (CF) Reserve. Members of the CIC are enrolled as Reserve officers to support the cadet program. ROLES & IDENTIFICATION Uniforms The Cadet Instructors Cadre is a sub-component of the Canadian Forces Reserve and members are issued the same uniform as all members of the Canadian Forces Sea, Land, and Air elements, including field and working uniforms - Naval Combat Dress (NCD) for Sea, CADPAT combats for Army and Air. Unit training Most Canadian Forces officers of the CIC are employed as instructors with Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps, Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps, or Royal Canadian Air Cadets Squadrons. Each local corps or squadron is led by a commanding officer who is the commanding officer of the cadets and the immediate supervisor of other officers of the corps or squadron. Cadet corps/squadron commanding officers are not designated commanding officers in accordance with Queen's Regulations and Orders for the Canadian Forces (QR&O's) and cannot exercise disciplinary powers over their subordinate officers, nor do they exercise other powers of a Commanding Officer in the CF. Other Corps/Squadron officers perform the roles of supply officer, administration officer, and training officer. In addition to these responsibilities, the officers are the primary instructors for their cadet corps or squadron assisted by senior cadets. They may also be joined by contracted civilian instructors or volunteers. The CIC officers are members of the Canadian Forces; the civilian instructors, volunteers, and the cadets are not. Cadet corps and squadrons are also supported by a local sponsor which works with the staff to provide the program for the cadets. Specialist programs and summer training In addition to unit training, the cadet programme operates a number of specialist programmes and summer training centres. These are also staffed mostly by Canadian Forces CIC officers. The specialist programmes include the Air Cadet Gliding Program , which operates a system of Gliding schools and centres across Canada, and the sailing centres of the Sea Cadets. CIC TRAINING PROGRAMME While some CIC officers have previous service in the Regular or Reserve Force, most who enrol do not have previous military training and are enroling in the Canadian Forces for the first time. That is the case for some ex-cadets who continue and work with the cadet program immediately upon leaving the program before their 19th birthday. Like all of the reserve force, members of the CF CIC come from all segments of the community. Those without previous military service complete 10 days of basic officer training at regional cadet instructor schools (or ''''). A CIC officer will start at the rank of naval cadet or Officer Cadet and upon successfully completing basic training and after a year's service may be commissioned as a Canadian Forces Officer. Former serving officers of the Canadian Forces may be component transferred to the Cadet Instructors Cadre and be required to take specific instruction to familiarize them with the cadet organizations. Former serving non-commissioned members must re-enrol in the CF to the CIC and those of Sgt. and above will be commissioned on enrolment and be required to take CIC specific courses.

ROLES AND DUTIES AUTHORIZED MARCH The Regional Cadet Support Unit (Eastern) (RCSU(E)) has proposed that " La Feuille D'érable " be the March Past piece for CIC officers. This piece of music is a song, actually a traditional Catholic French-Canadian song that came out of the '' Bonne Chanson '' in the 1940s. Here is the original version of "La Feuille d'érable" by Albert Larrieu . :Certain jour le bon Créateur :Fit dire aux peuples de la terre: :"Que chacun choisisse une fleur, :Et qu'on m'envoie un émissaire :Qu'on soit exact au rendez-vous :Chacun prendra la fleur qu'il aime :Cette fleur restera l'emblème :Du grand amour que j'ai pour vous." :Le jour dit, dans le paradis :Les envoyés se rencontrèrent :La France vint choisir un lys :L'oeillet fut pris par l'Angleterre :L'Espagnol eut un frais liseron :L'Américain un dahlia rose :L'Italien choisit une rose :Et l'allemand un vieux chardon :Quand arriva le Canadien :Emmitouflé dans ses fourrures :Hélas! il ne restait plus rien :Que des feuillages, des ramures :Saint-Pierre était plein de regret :Il caressait sa barbe blanche :"Je n'ai plus, dit-il, que ces branches :Tu peux regagner ta foret." :Mais Jésus, qu'on ne voyait pas :Intervint d'un coeur secourable :S'en alla choisir dans le tas :Offrit une feuille d'érable :Et c'est depuis ce beau jour-la :Qu'un peu partout dans la campagne :Dans la plaine et sur la montagne :L'érable croit au Canada :Dans la plaine et sur la montagne :L'érable croit au Canada The song is well known to members of the Eastern Region, however, very little in English Canada. It has however been translated into English: :On one fine day the good Creator :said to people of the Earth :“let each of you go choose a Flower :and then send an Emissary . :Make sure that they are all on time. :Each take a flower that he loves. :And that flow'r for ever be a symbol :of the Love, the Love I have for you.” :On the appointed day in Heaven :the envoys had all gathered there. : France chose the Lily and the : Carnation was chosen by the English. :The Spanish got a Morning Glory :the Americans pink Dahlia . :The Italians chose a Rose for their flow'r :and German, the Germans chose a Thistle . :When the Canadian arrived :bundled up in his coat of fur, :alas, alas all that remained there :were just left some leaves and boughs. : St. Peter was full of regret :and as he stroked his long white beard, :“All I have left are these old branches :Go back to, back to your forest home.” :But Jesus , who had not been seen, :stepped forth with generosity. :The Lord, he dug into the pile :and offered up a Maple Leaf . :And ever since that glorious day :here, there in the countryside, :on the plains and high up in the mountain, :the Maple grows, it grows in Canada.
