More Canadian civilians are now serving in Afghanistan than ever before. By the end of the quarter, 98 civilians were working in Kandahar and Kabul, and more are expected to be deployed this year. Working closely with the Canadian Forces, these civilians include diplomats, development specialists and corrections officers, as well as police seconded from the RCMP and provincial and municipal forces across the country. Canada’s experience with soldiers and civilians working and planning together has been recognized by other governments as a useful model for their own operations in Afghanistan.
