The Mission Information Line (MIL) provides deployed members with peace of mind knowing their families have access to information ranging from operational updates and messages from the CDS, to what’s happening with the latest show tour. In 2003/2004, MIL staff members continued to provide briefings to a significant number of CF units, ensuring that CF members and their families were aware of the services that are available to them during the member’s deployment.

FACT:

From April 2003 to March 2004, the MIL received 35,892 calls. Line staff handled 1,376 telephone interventions throughout the year. Calls regarding Operation ATHENA accounted for half of all calls to the MIL.
