After checking out this page you will probably
realize that most of
the pictures have absolutely
nothing to do with the Resolute Barbara Range Liaison Office. Fair enough.
However, every defining moment through out the evolution of mankind has had its genesis
in infinitesimally immeasurable increments that have on the most part escaped our attention
because someone forgot to bring the camera. Do these photographs capture the precursors
to catechistic events that will shake the very foundations of the ideologies that define
us as human beings? Probability not, I
just thought that I would show off some pictures I took during previous UN tours,
operational
training in Canada and around the World. |

OP STABLE HAITI
1996-1997
Following the American invasion of
Haiti to restore President Aristide to power after a military coup led by
General Raoul Cedres, the United Nations and the O.A.S. gave Canada the mandate
to politically stabilize the country. Our involvement in Haiti began in 1995 and
terminated when China, due to a dispute
over Taiwan's massive foreign aid program vetoed extending the mission in 1997
. While in Haiti Canadian troops patrolled
and policed Port au Prince and the southern half of the republic, provided security for the President and volunteered many hours of their time on humanitarian
aid projects. |

EX WELSH TREK April 2000
In April 2000 our British
NATO allies made an appeal to the Canadian Armed Forces for volunteers to
participate in a treacherous adventure training exercise. Being the selfless
person that I am, I immediately dropped everything and promptly stepped forward
to fill the void. EX
Welsh Trek consisted of an expedition to the summit of Mt. Snowdon (the Highest
peak in the UK), exploration of an abandoned slate mine, visits to various Air Defense
Unites in the province of Wales, Stonehenge, castles and culminated with a two
day stay in London. I know that it must seem like a thankless task , but someone
had to do it.

CANADA
While in Canada certain members
of the OP Palladium Crew are employed with the 58th Antiaircraft
Artillery Battery located at BFC Valcartier. While so employed our Bty. Has the
dubious honor of fulfilling the Low Level Air Defense role for the Land forces
Quebec Area and is often called upon support operations in the Land Force
Atlantic Area, the Land Force Central Area, the Land Force Western Area
and the Air Defense Artillery School at CFB Gagetown. What dose all that mean?
It means we get to travel across Canada a lot.
