From 2011 to 2013, Colonel Chadder’s performance was critical to the successful planning and execution of Training Exercise JOINTEX 13, one of the most ambitious joint training efforts ever undertaken by the Canadian Armed Forces. As the exercise planning team leader, he developed the training support framework and methodology, and successfully synchronized the efforts of countless individuals and organizations. Without the efforts and leadership of Colonel Chadder, this complex training event would not have enjoyed the success that it ultimately achieved.
