Captain Brosseau was an unarmed monitor with the European Community Monitor Mission in Northern Bosnia from 7 April until 5 May 1992. Following the unexpected departure of his two superiors, he took over command of the mission in Sarajevo, leading a team of thirty five people in a most professional manner in dangerous duties under hostile fire. When ordered to leave, he planned and commanded the six-hour convoy move through hostile territory. His courage under fire and his tireless dedication and professionalism were an example to all.
