  5. Governance Structure Purpose • The SGF process will: • provide central, authoritative and representative fora for the discussion of matters affecting Corps’s policies; • assist the Col Cmdt and D Inf by providing up-to-date information, advice and recommendations on Corps’s affairs; • examine facets of Army policies and procedures in order to reach a common, coordinated approach within the Corps; • review other matters of interest to the Corps: and • enhance the shared situational awareness of key Infantry Corps leaders with regard to issues affecting the Infantry Corps.

  7. Vision Statement • As MGen Hainse went through the Vision Statement in some detail yesterday, I don’t intend to relive his pain today… • One exception – suggestion that with the number of female Infantry soldiers now serving we should use the term “Infanteer” vice “Infantryman”.
