From April to August 2011, Colonel Ormsby was deployed to Italy in support of NATO operations in Libya. As commander of the nascent Task Force Naples, and as senior Canadian representative within the NATO contingent, he was critical in augmenting the command and control link between NATO forces abroad and Canadian leadership at home. Demonstrating leadership and diplomacy, Colonel Ormsby established key deployed capabilities, built strong relationships with Canadian allies and ensured mission success.
