Colonel Hausmann was the senior United States defence attaché and head of the Office of Defense Co-operation from September 2009 to January 2012. His focus on bi-national collaboration was critical to Royal Canadian Air Force operations, and ensured that the Air Force benefitted from the information, experience and resources of the United States Department of Defense and the aerospace industry.
