Canadian Forces Administrative Orders (CFAOs)

The Canadian Forces Administrative Orders (CFAO) collection is provided in electronic format on the Internet for the convenience of users. For legal purposes the paper copy is still considered the official copy. Please be advised that the CFAO collection is in the process of being superseded by the Defence Administrative Orders and Directives (DAODs), manuals and/or other publications, or are being cancelled as required. As such, the CFAO collection is not being amended, and no new CFAOs are being written. As a courtesy to the users, as CFAOs are superseded the appropriate link to the new document will be provided. However, these links will not be updated.

Please note that the electronic format on the Internet of the Canadian Forces Administrative Orders (CFAOs) will not be available until the requirements for the Common Look and Feel Standards for the Internet set out by Treasury Board are met. In the meantime, if you need additional information, please send an e-mail at the following address:  juliette.nowlan@forces.gc.ca
