The Carleton Barracks Officers' Mess (CBOM) was built in 1957 with the creation of CFB [Canadian Forces Base] Gagetown. The CBOM was originally home to the officers of 3 Canadian Infantry Brigade Group (3 CIBG), but following the disbandment of 3 CIBG in 1970, the CBOM changed ownership to the then Combat Arms School. From that date until present, members of Combat Arms School (now the Combat Training Centre) have called the CBOM home. There are over 800 members of the Mess from various units, including those of the Combat Training Centre and 3 Area Support Group. 2, record 3, English, - Carleton%20Barracks%20Officers%27%20Mess

Depuis lors, le MOCC constitue un lieu de rencontre pour les membres de l'École des armes de combat (aujourd'hui le Centre d'instruction au combat). Le Mess compte plus de 800 officiers de diverses unités, dont celles du Centre d'instruction au combat et du 3e Groupe de soutien de secteur. 2, record 3, French, - Mess%20des%20officiers%20du%20casernement%20Carleton
