The mission of the DND and the CF is to defend Canada, its interests and its values, while contributing to international peace and security.

To execute this mission the CF must be given broad authority and latitude in utilizing CF members and their skills. The statutory basis for this authority is the National Defence Act. The fundamental importance of this authority to the functioning and effectiveness of the CF is recognized in the Canadian Human Rights Act which provides that the duty to accommodate under that Act is subject to the principle of universality of service. Under this principle, CF members must at all times and under any circumstances perform any functions that they may be required to perform.

Effective performance of the broad range of defence and security tasks assigned to the CF requires that CF members be capable of performing a similarly broad range of general military, common defence and security duties, in addition to the more particular duties of their military occupation or occupational specification. This open-ended nature of military service is one of the features that distinguish it from the civilian notion of employment governed by a contract, which obliges employees to perform only those duties specified in their job description or contract.
