Canadian Special Operations Forces: Brig-Gen

Denis Thompson Dept: About 30 Joint Task Force 2 operators were the key actors in what was billed as the most complex scenario ever run by the military during the annual summer exercises, according to The Chronicle Herald. They re not in the public eye . . . and they will probably never will be for a number of operational security reasons, said Brig-Gen. Denis Thompson, commander of Canadian Special Operations Forces and cHURCHILL, Man. The country s most elite and secretive fighters dropped down from a helicopter and into the public spotlight Friday for the first time in the history of Canada s special forces. It marked a coming-out-party of sorts for JTF-2, which is rarely talked about in public and even more infrequently witnessed plying its trade. Its work on counter-terrorism operations at home and in places like Afghanistan is often praised but never publicly acknowledged. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
