Thanks for remembering we medical branch folks! CFMG changed names last year - it is now Canadian Forces Health Services Group (CF H Svcs Gp).

En français: (le) Groupe des services de santé des forces canadiennes (Gp Svc S FC).

The ref is: DGSP 005 141200Z May 04.

What about "3VP" I know (or atleast I think I know) that its is another name for 3PPCLI (I'm guessing there is 1 and 2 VP as well) but what does it stand for?

Thanks.

3VP is a short form for 3 PPCLI, and there is a 1st BN and 2nd BN. The VP comes from the centre of the capbadge which has the initials VP, which stands for Victoria Patricia
