INTRODUCTION
DCC is proud to recognize May 9, 2014 as a National Day of Honour
commemorating Canada’s mission in Afghanistan. As we honour the
service and sacrifice of our Client-Partners — the Department of National
Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces — we are proud to support them
whenever called upon, at home and abroad.
At DND’s request, DCC deployed to Afghanistan to help sustain the military
engineering mission. Beginning in 2003 in Kabul, DCC provided contract
management support to rebuild an infrastructure shattered by decades
of war. In 2006, DCC began deploying to Kandahar in roles that included
program, project and contract management.
Today, we are recognizing the 63 DCC employees who deployed to
Afghanistan for their outstanding service. DCC is also proud to recognize
the nine managers who travelled in theatre to support and inspect
operations, and all staff at Head Office, Regional Offices, Site Offices and
Military Operations Support who supported our teams.
This publication draws from interviews conducted with a few of these
employees, as we preserve and honour their experiences, and pay tribute
to their hard work and dedication.
