As commander of the C Squadron Combat Team from November 2010 to June 2011, Major Landry was given responsibility for building a vital road in Afghanistan. Overcoming complex challenges in this dangerous environment, he skilfully coordinated the Squadron’s various security, construction and logistical elements and effectively supported Headquarters’ other logistical operations. Major Landry’s leadership, so often demonstrated while under enemy fire and in the presence of improvised explosive devices, ensured the success of this mission.
