As commander of Stabilization Company B, in Afghanistan, from March to October 2009,
Major Verret led several widely dispersed teams with his flawless application of counter-insurgency doctrine, contributing to stabilization efforts in three districts of Afghanistan. After completing a survey of population centres, he instituted numerous infrastructure projects that were tailored to the specific needs of Afghan communities and which provided employment opportunities for the local population. Major Verret’s remarkable efforts contributed to the undermining of insurgents and brought great credit to Canada.
