Under current Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) policy, personnel at the rank of Private (Pte) are typically promoted to the rank of Corporal (Cpl) after 4 years of service (YOS). A proposed policy, if implemented, will have this requirement reduced to 3 YOS. This research was undertaken to estimate the cost of the proposed policy change.

Several factors were considered, including the current population, population promotion and attrition rates, and future recruiting numbers. The cost of the policy change was
