CANADIAN ARMED FORCES: Fuelling Their Own Rumour Mill

Last week the Command Team of 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry were suddenly relieved of their command. While DND Public Affairs confirmed their removal to the media, they gave no further explanation for the action. Thus the rumour mill kicked into high gear across the internet. It is time to target what this 'relief of command' and several other recent removals of Canadian unit Commanders means in the big picture of things. NOTE: Late Friday both members of the 3PPCLI command team were re-instated following an investigation. No further details were given.
