Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of records relating to the Order of Military Merit which has been established to provide a means of recognizing conspicuous merit and exceptional service by members of the Canadian Armed Forces, both regular and reserve. The order has three levels of membership: Commander (CCM), Officer (OMM) and member (MMM).

The Queen is the sovereign of the order and the Governor General is the chancellor as well as a commander of the order. The chief of the defence staff is the principal commander of the order. Appointments to the order are made by the Governor General on the recommendation of the minister of national defence; nominations are made by the chief of the defence staff assisted by an advisory committee. The number of appointments made annually will vary, depending on the number of nominations approved, however, the order's constitution stipulates that the total number of appointments made annually will not succeed a tenth of one per cent of the force's average strength.

The records in this sub-series consist of files on individuals who have been appointed to one of the three levels of the order: Commanders, 1971-1981, volume 28; Officers, 1966-1981, volumes 28 to 29; Members, 1972-1979, volume 29; and at all levels, 1968, 1972-2002, volumes 37 to 41, 220-250.
