While head of security and defence for the Canadian combined armed forces headquarters in Somalia, Captain Moreau and his troops were harassed daily by groups hostile to the presence of the guards protecting the international humanitarian assistance convoys. On April 27, 1993, his troop was attacked by an angry mob and came under small arms fire from a group of bandits. Captain Moreau re-established calm and successfully dispersed the crowd without incident. His actions demonstrated a skill and calmness that are in keeping with the best traditions of the Canadian Armed Forces.
