Acting Master Corporal Fehr’s Forward Observation Officer Detachment was attached to 5 Platoon, B Company, 1st Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry during Operation ARCHER in Afghanistan. On May 17, 2006, during Operation BRAVO GUARDIAN, his platoon came under enemy fire in an ambush. When his commander was fatally wounded, he assumed command of the light armoured vehicle, successfully egressing out of the area under a barrage of rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire. He continued to command the crew effectively, coordinating fire support and managing the engagement. Master Corporal Fehr’s decisive actions under enemy fire undoubtedly prevented more casualties and brought great credit to the Canadian Forces and to Canada.
