Content and structure area
Scope and content
Fonds consists of material generated and/or accumulated by Lt. Col. Grant McLean in his capacity as the Commanding Officer for Canadian Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) operations during Canada's peacekeeping mission (Operation Palladium) to Bosnia Herzegovina following the Bosnian War. Specifically, McLean oversaw CIMIC training and deployment for Rotation 12, 2002-2003.
Highlights of the collection include McLean's email correspondence, which provides insight into the administrative relationship between the Reserves and Regular Forces, and village by village intelligence gauging levels of post-war recovery for areas in which CIMIC was active.
The fonds is divided into 5 series:
- CIMIC Operations
- CIMIC Training
- Email Correspondence
- Canadian Forces Liaison Council
- Miscellaneous Files
