Operation Deliverance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Operation Deliverance was a Canadian Forces military operation initiated in 1992, supported by the United Nations. It turned into a political disaster for the Canadian Forces, causing the disbandment of the Canadian Airborne Regiment and numerous dismissals and resignations along the chain of command up to the Minister of Defence. Regardless of this, Canada's mission objectives were largely completed.
