POTENTIAL EXCHANGE OFFICER
DEPLOYMENT TO IRAQ COL APPLETON (MAR - JUN 04)

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.
