While deployed, Warrant Officer Pawsey was the senior medical professional on staff when the enemy launched a significant, coordinated offensive against the coalition defensive line. Warrant Officer Pawsey worked tirelessly to treat multiple casualties with a small team of Canadian and allied soldiers. The leadership he demonstrated and the skilled medical interventions he performed despite limited resources directly accounted for numerous lives being saved during a mass casualty event of an unprecedented scale in that theatre of operations.
