From July 2011 to July 2012, Colonel Charpentier did an outstanding job as chief of staff of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti. As the head of a multinational headquarters, he calmly and with great wisdom rose to every challenge before him, even in such complex situations as civil unrest and tropical storms. Colonel Charpentier’s leadership, diplomacy and work ethic were tremendously beneficial to the mission and brought honour to the Canadian Armed Forces.
