From December 2010 to July 2011, Master Corporal Pelletier, infantryman and tactical information operator, markedly improved the quality of combat information in numerous areas of operations in Afghanistan. He updated the list of principal insurgents active in networks manufacturing improvised explosive devices and, during reconnaissance and operations patrols, identified, questioned and detained them. Master Corporal Pelletier’s dedication and astute judgment helped him to provide a safer environment for Canadian soldiers and the local population.
