Headquarters Squadron has continued to experience unprecedented tempo in support to training and operations over the last year, during which soldiers of all ranks performed beyond reproach.  The unwavering dedication of all Headquarters Squadron soldiers enabled the Regiment to assert a lead role in the execution of Brigade operations; culminating in a Regimental lead of an ad-hoc Battle Group comprised of sub-units from 2 and 3 PPCLI and 1 RCHA in mechanized, light,  airborne and airmobile operations during Exercise MAPLE GUARDIAN.

This exercise usually reserved exclusively for Task Force Mission Elements deploying on overseas operations, was shoehorned between 1 CMBG Exercise DESERT RAM and Immediate Reaction Unit support to Emergency Management Operations in Manitoba.
 
With quiet professionalism, the soldiers of the Quartermaster Troop, Maintenance Troop, Transport Troop and Squadron Headquarters performed  exceptionally well under pressure.  Needless to say, MWO Holland and myself are proud of each individual soldier and the Squadron as whole.

As we look to transition as a Command Team over the course of the summer, we would like to thank the soldiers and the families for their enduring and gracious support.  You too should be proud of what your husbands, wives, fathers, mothers and children continue to accomplish in service to the nation.
 
Warmest regards,
Kevin J Mead
Major
Officer Commanding
