This study examines one possible socio-cultural explanation for the events which took place in Somalia in early 1993, asking to what extent military culture (particularly the culture of the Canadian Airborne Regiment) affected the behaviour of Canadian soldiers there. The study methodology included examination of visual and written records as well as extensive interviews with Canadian Forces personnel involved in those events. The study is organized into sections reflecting the factors affecting the events discussed: contradictions within the military establishment, the culture and organization of the Airborne combat unit, and the situational contingencies that arose from the external environment in Somalia (physical, social, and cultural).

Grant Dawson's analysis of political, diplomatic, and military decision making avoids a narrow focus on the shocking offences of a few Canadian soldiers, deftly investigating the broader context of the deployment in Somalia. He shows how media pressure, government optimism about the United Nations, and the Canadian traditions of multilateralism and peacekeeping all helped to determine the level, length, and tenor of the country's operations. His findings will undoubtedly play a seminal role in informing scholarly debate about this important period in Canadian diplomacy and military engagement.

This study examines the issues of peacekeeping, racism, and accountability in relation to the Canadian Forces experience in Somalia. The issues are first addressed from a theoretical perspective, including peacekeeping in the historical and Canadian contexts, racial-ethnic prejudice, racism in the military, who should be accountable, and what should be accounted for. The issues are then discussed in the context of the actual mission to Somalia, divided in three phases: pre-deployment, including selection and screening, training, and hazing rituals; in-theatre operations, including racial prejudice, use of force, and rules of engagement; and post-deployment, in which accountability issues are examined in more detail. A separate chapter studies the role of the Canadian Airborne Regiment and its mission. Recommendations are made regarding training for peacekeeping, developing policies against racial discrimination, and increasing accountability.

This study proceeds from the proposition that the deployment of Canadian Forces in Somalia and the events that occurred there have something to tell Canadians about the nature of the policy choices facing the federal government in sustaining effective and relevant armed forces in the 1990s and beyond. The study focus is on developments in the domestic and international environment which are affecting the demands for, and on, the armed forces of the industrialized democracies; the experience in employing armed forces in the new environment; and on the lessons being learned and issues for policy. Study themes relate specifically to peace and stability operations, their place in the strategic scheme, their dynamics, significance, and implications. The study begins by reviewing changed international strategic conditions following the Cold War era and the experience of Canada and other democracies in responding to the new conditions. Lessons learned and policy issues are then discussed, and a chapter on the home front aims to identify societal changes and developments in national attitudes, policies, and legislation germane to raising, organizing, and deploying armed forces and to maintaining both military effectiveness in the new conditions and understanding and support for defence. The final chapter reviews and assesses lessons learned from new peacekeeping operations and from the Somalia experience, suggesting areas and issues for further study.

One of Canada's finest reporters reveals the true story of the murder in Somalia, the scapegoating of the wrong man, and the shocking cover-up by the Canadian army. March 16, 1993. A Somali teenager is tortured and beaten to death by Canadian peacemakers from the Airborne Regiment. Kyle Brown, a young trooper from Edmonton, is initially present, but he commits only a minor offense. He is not there when Shidane Arone is killed, and he is later commended for coming forward with information. Two weeks later, however, Brown is under arrest for torture and murder. Those most responsible go free and lower ranks are punished more. Kyle Brown, eventually convicted of torture and manslaughter, has become the scapegoat in one of the most shameful events in the history of the Canadian army. Who killed Shidane Arone? Who covered it up and why? What has happened to those responsible? What went wrong in the Canadian Airborne Regiment?

The Canadian army is in crisis. Its command structure is ineffective. Its soldiers are demoralized. Its equipment is outmoded and inadequate for many of the tasks to which it is assigned. The causes of the problem can be traced to a number of sources, including political indecision, peacetime neglect, and budgetary cutbacks. But, perhaps most crucially, the ability of the army to carry out its essential function, which is to maintain the capacity to fight wars, has been undermined by the process of bureaucratization initiated by passage of the Unification Act of 1968 and reinforced by later structural changes. This process has transformed and disfigured the military command structure at every level, from the Chief of Defence Staff to the so-called Hellyer corporal, with disastrous results. The dreadful torture and murder of a teenager in Somalia was significant precisely because it showed how badly morale and discipline have deteriorated in Canada’s army. In Significant Incident, David Bercuson gives readers a rare inside look at the state of our armed forces. He draws on historical sources, leaked documents, material submitted to the Commission of Inquiry into the Somalia Affair, and on scores of exclusive interviews. He uses this material to describe today’s army, both on duty in Bosnia, for example, and on the home front. It is against this multifaceted background that the deterioration of a proud regiment, the Canadian Airborne, and its ill-fated mission to Somalia begins to make sense. Significant Incident will be welcomed by soldiers, but will send shockwaves through the media, the military high command, and political circles.
