Since the summer of 2003, General Schoomaker, chief of staff of the United States Army, has provided outstanding support to the Canadian Forces in their efforts to prepare soldiers deploying on the complex mission in Afghanistan. During his mandate, he ensured that Canadians had immediate access to his army’s tactical lessons, emerging doctrine and training facilities. His influence has contributed to the safety of Canadian missions, and his unflinching support of the Canada-United States relationship has had a positive impact on both nations.
