In early November 1991, Captain Chambers demonstrated outstanding leadership, perseverance and professionalism in a rescue operation near Canadian Forces Alert Station in the Northwest Territories. Following the crash of a Hercules aircraft, he organized and participated in the successful rescue mission of the survivors under severe blizzard conditions. After the evacuation of casualties he volunteered to remain on the crash site and make the necessary arrangements for the post-rescue inquiry.
