POTENTIAL EXCHANGE OFFICER
DEPLOYMENT TO IRAQ COL APPLETON (MAR - JUN 04)
I
I
Reference: CDLS (W) 3350-1 (Comd) 26 Jan 04 (enclosed)
Col Appleton is presently an exchange Officer at the United States Army War
College (USAWC) in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Last year he attended the USAWC
and was asked to remain on staff as part of the Warfighting Department. Col
Appleton is being considered by the USAWC for a potential 3-month deployment
to Iraq starting in March 2004. I fully support this planned deployment but wanted
to consult you prior to approving it because Col Appleton is in a training billet not
an operational billet.
The USAWC has for several years been dispatching selected Officers to active
theatres as part of a Visitation program. These programs last between two weeks
to four months and have three primary roles: it keeps the operational focus of the
USAWC, assist staff in various theatres and assist other nations in their own
strategic development. In the last year this program has been very successfully
used in Iraq, Afghanistan and Macedonia.
The USAWC usually do not ask Foreign Officers to participate in this program.
The USAWC Commandant has personally selected Col Appleton because he
brings a powerfully unique perspective to the College and the combination of his
experience and intellect make him an excellent choice for this program.
Col Appleton would be stationed at the Coalition Force Land Component
Command (CFLCC) in Baghdad, Iraq, where Canada maintained an Op ATHENA
Liaison Officer until his redeployment in December 2003. His intended
employment will be with either a Special Initiative Group or in the Operations and
Plans cell. His position may require his movement to other parts of Iraq on a
periodic basis. The risks involved with this type of deployment are known and
manageable. The duties and responsibilities intended for Col Appleton do not
envision command over United States military personnel.

This deployment is an excellent opportunity for the Canadian Forces and will serve
to advance Col Appleton's own professional learning and development.

CONFIDENTIAL (CEO)
POSSIBLE PRESS ARTICLE ON LOCATION OF CAMP MIRAGE
BRIEFING NOTE FOR THE DEPUTY MINISTER
ISSUE
•
The intention of the Globe and Mail to publish an article that includes information
about the UAE being the country in which Camp Mirage is located.
BACKGROUND
•
In reaching an agreement with the UAE for the establishment of Camp Mirage, the
Government of Canada officials assured the UAE that Canada would not disclose the
location of Camp Mirage. While this condition is not recorded in the cunent
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), or the draft Status of Forces Agreement
(SOFA), it is the UAE expectation that we will continue to avoid public linking of the
UAE and their support to the Operation Enduring Freedom forces, including by not
revealing our camp’s location.
•
Canadian policy is to respect the UAE’s wish. The success of the CF in the campaign
against terrorism and in ISAF owes much to the UAE’s generous provision of bases
and port facilities, and to the excellent relations we have enjoyed at all levels in our
dealings with the UAE Armed Forces. For the foreseeable future, the Arabian Gulf
will present significant challenges to Canadian security interests, likely requiring a
continued ability to operate or be based in the region, principally from the UAE.
•
On 23 April 2004, a reporter from the Globe and Mail enquired why Canada, in spite
of what he described as the many slips and mistakes made by senior Government of
Canada officials that revealed Camp Mirage’s location, still refused to disclose that
Camp Mirage is in the UAE. This inquiry was made in the course of writing an
article about those occasions when the camp’s location has been accidentally
revealed.
•
Also on 23 April 2004, the MND spoke to the Globe and Mail’s Foreign Editor to
encourage the paper to refrain from publishing the camp’s location. The reporter still
intends to see his article published. Although as of 30 April the article has yet to be
published, it most likely will be in the near term.
DISCUSSION
•
Deliberate public disclosure of the UAE’s support by the Government of Canada
would likely have a negative impact on ongoing relations, especially if publicized by
the Government of Canada in the region. Such revelations might negatively impact
the renewal of the MOU (every six months at NDHQ’s request), the negotiation of
the SOFA and the continued presence of CF members in the UAE.
•
On the other hand, the UAE understands that Canada cannot prevent public disclosure
of the UAE’s ongoing support by the media in Canada. Over the last week our

embassy in Abu Dhabi briefed the UAE General Headquarters, and FAC briefed the
local UAE embassy, about the possibility of a national newspaper article revealing
the location of Camp Mirage. The UAE officials indicated their appreciation for our
efforts to prevent the information from being published, and for our having kept them
informed. They appeared unconcerned by the possibility of such an article at this
time.
CONCLUSION
• Canada should continue to respect the UAE’s desire that we avoid having any
Government of Canada official link the UAE with our operations in the region.
