As the Canadian senior national representative within Headquarters United States Central Command from May 2006 to July 2010, Captain Stewart, as a leader of the Canadian Liaison Office, ensured unprecedented access and influence for Canada within this extremely dynamic headquarters. Notably, his work was critical to securing the United States’ support for the Manley Report requirements, and for Canadian operations in Afghanistan. Captain Stewart’s diplomacy and unrelenting efforts strengthened Canadian–American relations, and brought tremendous benefit to Canadian Forces operations.
