Operation Achilles. A COY RCHR has deployed to Afghanistan to participate in Operation Achilles throughout February. The Black Watch is one of many Canadian units participating in a multinational effort to prevent the collapse of the Kunduz Valley region. Achilles is designed to confront belligerent parties for the purpose of securing passage for humanitarian aid and essential goods.

Hostile militias operating under the banner of terrorist organizations have exacerbated poor conditions, increasing logistical challenges that threaten to widen an ongoing famine and cause an exodus of the local population. Neighboring nations have been unable to make inroads to alleviate the imminent disaster. An urgent stabilization effort has been deemed necessary.

Operation Aegis. 7CMBG’s recent actions in Latvia have been lauded as an overwhelming success. Through significant challenge and hardship, the taskforce completed its mission with strength and skill. The combined effort of RCHR, RCN, 7th Air Wing, and 7 Field Ambulance was a testament to the capability of the brigade.

Congratulations go out to newly promoted Master Corporal A. Llywelyn.
