As the National Military Representative’s key operations staff officer, Major Bertrand provided vital and timely strategic analyses and information, from April 2011 to March 2012, that had a direct impact on Canadian decisions with respect to the deployment schedule and locations, as well as on force contribution levels. Major Bertrand’s interactions with his NATO colleagues and his rapid and effective communications with the Strategic Joint Staff were significant factors in the success of Operation Unified Protector and Operation Active Endeavour.
