Commander Moss displayed decisive leadership of Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship Regina during the interdiction of a dangerous and illegal human smuggling operation. The arrest of the motor vessel Ocean Lady during Operation Poseidon, in October 2009, highlighted precision military planning and execution between the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian Border Services Agency. In all aspects, Commander Moss was central to mission success, and his actions brought great credit to the Canadian Forces and to the Government of Canada.
