A wingback is a member of a football, i. e. soccer team. They play on the left or right wing(that's one or other side of the pitch only), and combine 2 roles. They act as defenders, but also seek to move forward to attack where possible. However, moving forward can create a gap in defence... when the team the wingback is pressing against launches a speedy counter-attack on the break, and gets behind the wingback. 5, record 1, English, - wingback

In a military context, the term "Through Life Support, "among other definitions, is used to describe an arrangement between a service provider and a branch of the armed forces, where the responsibility, and risk, of operating an aircraft is delegated to the original system supplier or designated support partner. This trend sees defence moving away from acquiring a military system, the acquisition of a military capability. With the acquisition of the hardware comes a guarantee that the supplied product will meet a list of specific criteria, including, for example, pre-determined levels of dispatch reliability and availability. 3, record 3, English, - through%2Dlife%20support

The intention of the Canadian Government in authorizing the formation of the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment (CARDE) by Order-in-Council in 1945 was to preserve the main elements of the military technological complex which had been developed in Valcartier during the Second World War. In reality, it gave way to more than 60 years of major technological discoveries in Defense science. 1, record 4, English, - Defence%20R%26D%20Canada%20%2D%20Valcartier

DRDC Valcarter is a major Canadian military research station in Quebec, one of seven centres making up Defence Research and Development Canada(DRDC). Originally formed at the end of World War II in 1945 as the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment(CARDE), the intent was to keep the research teams built up during the war in Canada, as opposed to moving to the United States. Starting in 1951 CARDE implemented a major missile development program, eventually delivering two combat systems, the Velvet Glove air-to-air missile and the Heller anti-tank rocket. Neither was accepted for production, but the basic research was used with local defence contractors to build up familiarity with the new technologies. 3, record 4, English, - Defence%20R%26D%20Canada%20%2D%20Valcartier

NDHQ 97 is the largest accommodation project ever undertaken by the Department of National Defence or the government. It's more than just moving people from building to building. It's refitting buildings and general office space, using a new design concept called the universal footprint. It's adapting accommodation to re-engineered organizations. It's also purchasing and installing furniture best suited to a modern, dynamic organization. The headquarters will have a new look. In the four buildings... corridors will run along the windows. Offices will be clustered at the centre of each floor. Major traffic will flow outside work areas, not through them. People working in teams will have work areas designed for teams. Offices will have more natural light, better air conditioning and better ventilation. Some screens will have glazed windows to allow natural light to spill through. Each workstation will include large, well-lit work surfaces for computers and overall, will have more usable workspace. Plenty of storage space will be located above and below work surfaces. But employees will be encouraged to make the most of their space by storing information on diskette, rather than in filing cabinets. The look will be cleaner and less cluttered. And whether people are tall or short, they’ll be able to adjust their desks, chairs and computers to the height that's right for them. 3, record 7, English, - universal%20footprint

QGDN 97 est le plus gros projet d'aménagement de locaux entrepris par le ministère de la Défense nationale ou le gouvernement. Il ne s'agit pas seulement de déménager des gens d'un édifice à un autre, mais plutôt de réorganiser les édifices et l'espace disponible en appliquant un nouveau concept d'aménagement appelé plan universel, d'adapter les locaux à des organisations restructurées, d'acheter et d'installer de l'ameublement qui convient mieux à une organisation moderne et dynamique. Le quartier général aura une nouvelle allure. Dans les quatre édifices [...] les couloirs vont longer les fenêtres, et les bureaux seront regroupés au centre de chaque étage. Le gros de la circulation se fera à l'extérieur des aires de travail, et non à travers celles-ci. Les gens qui travaillent en équipe auront des locaux conçus spécialement pour les équipes. Il y aura davantage de lumière naturelle dans les bureaux, et la climatisation ainsi que la ventilation seront meilleures. Certaines cloisons auront des fenêtres vitrées pour permettre la diffusion de la lumière naturelle. Chaque poste de travail comprendra de grandes surfaces bien éclairées pour les ordinateurs et offriront, dans l'ensemble, un plus grand espace utilisable. Il y aura en outre beaucoup de rangement au-dessus et au-dessous des surfaces de travail. Les employés seront toutefois encouragés à maximiser leur espace en emmagasinant l'information sur disquette plutôt que dans des classeurs. Les locaux auront ainsi l'air plus propres et plus dégagés. Peu importe la taille des occupants, les bureaux, les chaises, et les ordinateurs pourront être réglés à la bonne hauteur. 4, record 7, French, - plan%20universel
