It mentions the imposition of the conscription that led to a divisive wartime election and major cleavages between the two linguistic groups. It also details how the Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), and Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) ultimately expanded in sizes after 1939. The chapter explains how the expansion of Canada's army played a role in the country's contribution to the global population during and after the conflict. It explains why civilian bureaucracy that mobilized men and women for the armed forces and other tasks did not constitute the comprehensive, forward-thinking blueprint for managing Canada's manpower resources.","PeriodicalId":359366,"journal":{"name":"Manpower and the Armies of the British Empire in the Two World Wars","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115981325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines the ways that the military authorities adapted doctrine and organization to meet the needs of the new civilian intake, including changes in selection, leadership, and education. It also looks at the essential aspect of raising manpower for a mass army, particularly the processes used to transform raw civilians into disciplined, fit, battle-ready soldiers. The chapter demonstrates the transition from civilian to soldier during basic army training in the Second World War by focusing on the recruit's body. It draws on the formal organizational control of soldiers' bodies within military institutions, including connections between the male military body and hegemonic masculinity.","PeriodicalId":359366,"journal":{"name":"Manpower and the Armies of the British Empire in the Two World Wars","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131808885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
