United Kingdom -
MCC Northwood
Congratulations on your posting to Allied Maritime Component Command Headquarters Northwood. I am certain that you will find your time in Europe both rewarding and exciting. In addition to the experience of working in a multi-national environment, this posting will allow you and your family to explore and experience different lands and cultures, an opportunity that is not available to most members of the Canadian Forces. That said, I wanted to take the opportunity to inform you that you will be joining the headquarters during a period of great uncertainty and potentially significant changes regarding the NATO Command Structure and the role of this headquarters in the future. However, it is not anticipated that these changes will directly affect your posting.
You should also be aware that all staff members employed at MCC Northwood are deployable into NATO theatres of operations – you must be prepared for that possibility.
You will soon be receiving a joining package from our support unit, CFSU(E) Det Daws Hill, that will contain information concerning your move. This package contains excellent information that will go a long way towards alleviating your concerns. I strongly recommend that you read this package thoroughly and refer any queries you may have to either your sponsor or to Daws Hill. Once again, congratulations on your posting to Northwood. The other Canadians and I look forward to meeting you.
Yours aye,
Captain (N) T.C. Tulloch
Senior Canadian Officer
