While deployed to Afghanistan from April to December 2010, Major Adams provided mentoring to the commander of the Maywand District Police Headquarters. His efforts yielded an increase in policing capacity within the district, and were critical to the successful co-operation between coalition forces and Afghan National Police during major operations. Progress in this area was clearly shown by the absence of security issues during the parliamentary elections, where the Afghan National Police took the lead. Major Adams’ leadership and dedication contributed significantly to improved stability in Afghanistan and brought great credit to the Canadian Forces.
