“Never was so much owed by so many to so few”
The Battle of Britain THE COURIER “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few,” was part of a wartime speech given by the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill on 20 August 1940. Pilots who fought in the battle have been known as The Few ever since. It is for The Few that we take time to commemorate the Battle of Britain. September 20, 2020 marks the 80th anniversary of The Battle of Britain and The Few that Churchill mentions in his speech were pilots of the Royal Air Force (RAF) Fighter Command. The Battle of Britain was a major air campaign fought over southern England in the summer and autumn of 1940. Germany had been banned from having an air force after the First World War, but the Luftwaffe (air force) was re-established by the Nazi government and by 1940 it was the largest and most formidable air force in the world. A large portion of continental Europe had fallen to the Nazis and Hitler was preparing to launch a fullscale invasion of Great Britain. But first, he needed to dominate the airspace over the English Channel. To do so, his Luftwaffe needed to destroy the RAF. The RAF met this challenge with some of the best fighter aircraft in the world – the Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire. The average age of an RAF fighter pilot was just 20, and many were as young as 18. At the time, you had to be 21 to vote so many of these young men were risking their lives in defence of a democracy they were not yet old enough to participate in. Nearly 3,000 men of the RAF took part in the Battle of Britain. While most of the pilots were British, Fighter Command was an international force. Men came from all over the Commonwealth and occupied Europe – from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Belgium, France, Poland and Czechoslovakia. There were even some pilots from the neutral United

Who were “The Few”? THE COURIER RAF fighter pilots were a cosmopolitan bunch, very different to the public school ‘Tally Ho’ chaps they’re popularly seen as. In fact, of the almost 3,000 pilots that flew during the Battle of Britain, fewer than 200 were publicschool educated. The rest came from a wide variety of backgrounds – bank clerks, shop assistants and factory workers all served as fighter pilots. What they did have in common was their youth. Submitted While a few ‘old sweats’ were over 30, the name Air Chief Marshal Hugh Caswall Tremenheere Dowding, 1st Baron Dowding, with some of “The stems from the specific line in the speech, “Never in Few.” The Few were the airmen of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the aviators of the Fleet Air Arm, the field of human conflict was so much owed by so Royal Navy (RN) who fought the Battle of Britain in the Second World War. The term comes from many to so few,” referring to the ongoing efforts of the Royal Air Force crews who were at the time fighting Winston Churchill’s phrase “Never, in the field of human conflict, was so much owed by so many the Battle of Britain, the pivotal air battle with the to so few.” It also alludes to Shakespeare’s famous speech in his play, Henry V: “We few, we German Luftwaffe, with Britain expecting an invasion. happy few, we band of brothers...” Pilots who fought in the battle have been known as The Few ever since; at times being specially commemorated on 15 September, “Battle of Britain Day.” DR.

COVID Alert App – Do your part, download it today! DND The recently launched COVID Alert app, developed and built by the Government of Canada and available for iOS and Android, is an additional public health preventive tool for Canadians to use to help limit the spread of COVID-19 and prevent future outbreaks, as well as protect themselves. As such, military and civilian members of the Defence Team, as well as their friends and families, are strongly encouraged to download and use the app on a voluntary basis. COVID Alert should be installed on one device only, generally the one that you carry with you most frequently. For most members, this will be their personal device, but downloading it to Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces issued smartphones is permitted. COVID Alert complements existing public health preventive measures such as maintaining good hand and respiratory hygiene, respecting physical distancing, and wearing non-medical masks or face coverings when physical distancing is not possible. By advising people of possible exposure to COVID-19, the COVID Alert app helps limit the spread of infection and prevent future outbreaks by prompting individuals to self-monitor for symptoms, perhaps get tested and, if they test positive, take measures to ensure they do not spread the virus further. When a person is diagnosed with COVID-19, they are provided an activation key by a public health authority to enter into their app. This will allow the app to trigger a notification to all users of the app who could be high-risk close contacts of that person. This includes everyone who has been within two metres for more than 15 minutes of the positive case in the past two weeks.
If you are notified, this does not necessarily mean you have COVID-19 or need to go into quarantine or isolation, but you should contact your local public health authority for guidance. If you are not in a location where activation keys are provided, you will not be able to use the app to trigger notifications for others. However, no matter where you are, COVID Alert will still notify you if someone, for whom you were a potential high-risk contact, was diagnosed with COVID-19 and used an activation key themselves. COVID Alert is built with strong privacy protection and uses Bluetooth to exchange random codes with nearby phones with the app installed. No personal identifying or location information is ever exchanged or made available to anyone. The app has no way of knowing a user’s location, name or address, phone contacts or health information. COVID Alert does not replace manual contact tracing by local public health authorities, nor medical advice. If you get sick, go home or stay home and contact your doctor or other health-care provider. The COVID Alert web page provides detailed information on the app, as well as links to download it. For CAF members If you are diagnosed with COVID-19, you will still need to be interviewed by a contact tracer to ensure that everyone who might be at risk is made aware. Canadian Forces Health Services Group is currently working with the Canadian Digital Service, the federal government’s app developer, to incorporate the issuing of activation keys with our COVID-19 diagnostic process. This process will be finalized in the near future and will be communicated accordingly. In the meantime, CAF members who receive COVID-19 test results from civilian provincial labs could receive activation keys when they X are30” notified of their test RINK BOARD - 96” (8’ X 2.5’) result.

4 Wing MFRCS Welcome Race a success JUDITH CHANCE, MFRCS On Saturday, 19 September, 24 teams participated in the 4 Wing MFRCS’ Welcome Race Scavenger Hunt. Newly posted-in singles, couples, and families were invited to participate in a timed Scavenger Hunt that took them from landmarks on 4 Wing to local businesses who had signed up to hand out clues and gifts to other areas of interest in the community. The day started with participants receiving Welcome Gift Bags delivered directly to them in their new homes by MFRCS staff. At 1:00 pm sharp, the Race went live on their phones and the hunt for clues was on! “Everyone had such a fun time,” said Chuck Erman, MFRCS Program Manager. “It was really great to see all the smiles, and the newcomers feeling so welcomed.” Missions included a number of stops on 4 Wing, such as the Chaplain’s office, Col J.J. Parr Sports Centre, and throughout the MFRCS buildings. Teams had 3 hours to complete as many missions as possible. The 1st place team will receive $300 in Gift Cards, 2nd place receives $200, and 3rd place receives $100.
Submitted
Two of the Missions took place in the MFRCS parking Lot. The Fire Hall had their spiffy fire truck on hand, and participants had to draw out their home fire escape plan before receiving a clue. The MPs provided participants an opportunity to wear “impairment glasses” and try to perform a task.

Team 4 Wing Cold Lake exceeds Terry Fox Marathon of Hope goal JANAE WANDLER This year marked the 40th Anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope. Traditionally, 4 Wing Cold Lake hosted an annual Terry Fox run for all members to participate in and raise funds for cancer research. This time the event had to look a little different due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place. Instead, 4 Wing created an online team, with Wing
Commander Col Moar as team captain, through the Terry Fox Foundation that encouraged members to donate funds to the Foundation. Units were also encouraged to participate in their own run/walk with a smaller group throughout the week. By doing so, units could also earn Wing Commander Cup points as an extra motivation. Donations were received through www.terryfox. ca/4wingcoldlake and Team 4
Wing Cold Lake had originally made the goal of raising $2000. 4 Wing more than doubled that goal by raising almost $4200. It is a worthwhile cause and all involved should be proud of their efforts to help continue Terry’s mission to help put an end to cancer. Terry said, “I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to.”

Are you whole?
I
n ancient Rome, actors were described with a word we may find familiar for a different reason: they were called “Hypocrites”. Today we use this word to describe people who present one face or appearance to you but present a different one to others. This type of living is not viewed well by anyone – nobody thinks that living as a hypocrite is a good idea. Yet, it is very common. It has been said that we all have three lives. Our public life, our private life, and our secret life. Public is what people who don’t know you see. It’s the clothes you wear; how you carry yourself; the car you drive. Your private life is what your friends and family see – how you live; how you interact with others; your habits and so on. Your secret life is who you are on the inside – what really motivates you; what mistakes you are prone to; what you do when nobody is watching. The more differences these three lives have from one another, the more “disintegrated” a life you will live. Living a disintegrated life is not fun. It’s not good.
Padre Oliver Edwards
CHAPLAIN’S CORNER
It involves secrets, deception (both of yourself and others), and it’s just plain hard work to keep these three worlds from bumping into each other. Spilling over. And when they do, that’s when life gets messy. However, life does not have to be this way. You don’t have to accept the pain that comes from living a disintegrated life. You can integrate your three lives, make them more consistent, more homogenous. And when you do, you will find the benefits, the blessings, the comfort, and the security that comes with it will far outweigh anything you may lose from whatever secrets you were keeping. Religions call this wholeness - living an integrated life “holiness” I hope that takes some of the mystery out of the word for you. To the Hebrew people, wholeness was an element of “Shalom” – true, real peace. I want to encourage you to embark on a journey to wholeness, integration of all three areas of your life. It will involve some hard work. It will involve examining what you believe – your ethics, your values, and what has the
most meaning for you. It may involve examining your religious roots, or considering your relationship to the spiritual maybe for the first time in your life. The big questions are big for a reason – your answers to the big questions will shape your life and lead to greater integration, greater wholeness. There is a reason why in surveys, spiritual people in general report higher levels of satisfaction, health, happiness, resilience and relational connection. Because they are on an intentional journey towards wholeness. There is never a bad time to start this journey. Why not today? And if you were moving this way but maybe got distracted or taken off track by a crisis or trouble or something else (and in 2020 we have had a LOT of those!) decide today to get back on track. What seemed like big deals yesterday may well begin to shrink in the rear view mirror as you move towards living a whole life.

Security never takes a break – vigilance! So when it comes to security, vigilance is key. Following guidelines and best practices is an absolute must if we want to prevent security incidents or hacks to our systems. Letting your security guard down, even for a moment, can have serious consequences. The Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) assets, devices, network and information can be compromised and this includes the personal safety and privacy of our military and civilian members. Sound daunting? Have no fear – the Director General Defence Security (DGDS) is here to help you stay vigilant! To help ensure Defence Team members are continually informed about the departmental security policies, procedures, and best practices, DGDS has launched a new security awareness campaign which will target a different security subject each month. The
highlight of the campaign will be Security Awareness Week (SAW) “Working Remotely - The New Security Reality” in February. To counter growing information security vulnerabilities while personnel work remotely, DGDS will start this campaign in September 2020 and kick-off the campaign with a focus on enhancing IT security and security of information for working remotely. This renewed focus on IT security vigilance takes into account that the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered shifted the way we work. Many DND employees and CAF members are now working remotely and using new tools like Defence O365 to conduct business. With this in mind, we all need to stay informed and be aware of potential IT security vulnerabilities and have the knowledge to prevent a security incident from occurring. The goal is simple - help increase

La sécurité ne prend jamais de pause – vigilance ! Ainsi, en matière de sécurité, la vigilance est essentielle. Le respect des directives et des meilleures pratiques est une nécessité indispensable si nous voulons éviter des incidents de sécurité ou le piratage de nos systèmes. Laisser tomber nos réflexes en matière de sécurité, même pour un instant, peut avoir de graves conséquences. Les actifs, les appareils, le réseau et les informations du ministère de la Défense nationale (MDN) et des Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) peuvent être compromis, y compris la sécurité personnelle et la vie privée de nos membres militaires et civiles. Cela semble intimidant ? N’ayez crainte, le Directeur général - Sécurité de la défense (DGSD) est là pour vous aider à rester vigilant! Pour s’assurer que les membres de l’Équipe de la Défense sont continuellement informés des politiques, des procédures et des meilleures pratiques de sécurité du Ministère, le DGSD a lancé une nouvelle campagne de sensibilisation à la sécurité qui ciblera un sujet de sécurité différent chaque mois. Cette campagne culminera lors de la semaine de sensibilisation à la sécurité (SSS) qui aura lieu en février avec un terme central qui est «Travailler à distance - La nouvelle réalité de la sécurité». Pour contrer les vulnérabilités croissantes de la sécurité des informations liées au travail à distance, le DGSD lancera cette nouvelle campagne en septembre 2020, en mettant l’accent sur l’amélioration de la sécurité informatique et la sécurité des informations
lors du travail à distance. Cette attention renouvelée sur la vigilance en matière de sécurité informatique tient compte du fait que la pandémie du COVID-19 a radicalement changé notre façon de travailler. De nombreux employés du MDN et membres des FAC travaillent maintenant à distance et utilisent de nouveaux outils, tels que Défense O365, afin de continuer s’acquitter de leurs fonctions. Nous devons donc tous être informés et conscients des vulnérabilités de sécurité informatique potentielles et acquérir les connaissances nécessaires pour empêcher qu’un incident de sécurité ne se produise. L’objectif est simple : contribuer à accroître nos connaissances en matière de sécurité informatique ainsi que renforcer les bonnes pratiques de sécurité pour tous les membres de l’Équipe de la Défense, en particulier le personnel travaillant à distance avec des informations sensibles, protégées et classifiées. Faites le premier pas pour aider l’Équipe de la Défense à devenir plus sécuritaire et consultez cette infographie sur l’O365 qui comprend des conseils simples sur la façon d’adopter de meilleures pratiques en matière de sécurité cybernétique. Restez informé. Restez vigilant ! Et gardez un œil sur les courriels hebdomadaires de l’Équipe de la Défense pour des infographies, des articles, des vidéos et plus encore, qui vous aideront à devenir chevronné en sécurité! De plus, tous les membres de l’Équipe de la Défense sont encouragés à visiter la page Web de l’Équipe de la Défense – COVID-19 de la Défense sur
Canada.ca pour obtenir les dernières nouvelles sur le travail à distance, la planification de la reprise des activités, la santé mentale ainsi que le bien-être et bien plus encore.
