Illustrations. Maps. Nominal Roll. Honours and Awards.

Dear Ambassador Oakley You of all people deserve a copy of this compendium of Canadian Forces operations in the Horn of Africa 1992-93. You were a source of information and inspiration for me and I learned much from your comments and suggestions. You are also one of the few diplomats I have every known with a practical pragmatic sense. All my very best Serge Labbe/Colonel Former Commander Canadian Joint Forces Somalia. The purpose of In the Line of Duty is to provide the reader with an appreciation of the activities of the Canadian Joint Forces deployed on Operation Deliverance Operation Relief and Operation Lifeline Sudan. These operations were conducted under some of the worst environmental conditions experienced by the Canadian Forces in many years. The situation in Somalia allowed little or no time for acclimatization and consequently from the depths of a Canadian winter Canadian Forces personnel were immediately thrust into an extreme environment where normal daytime highs varied between 35 and 45 degrees Celsius reaching into the 50 degrees Celsius range in April and May. Humidity typically ranged from 60 to 80 percent. Over and above the natural hazards the threat to Canadian personnel posed by Somalis was high. Notwithstanding the hardships of working 12 to 16 hour days under these trying conditions Operation Deliverance was a tremendous success. The Canadian Forces' contributions to security and relief operations in Somalia won widespread praise from Coalition leaders and relief agencies alike. Robert Bigger Oakley March 12 1931 - December 10 2014 was an American diplomat whose 34-year career 1957-1991 as a Foreign Service Officer included appointments as United States Ambassador to Zaire Somalia and Pakistan and in the early 1990s as a special envoy during the American involvement in Somalia. The Ambassador spent four years as an Intelligence Officer in the US Navy. He joined the Foreign Service in 1957 and was assigned to the Sudanese capital Khartoum in 1958. He first served in the Office of United Nations Political Affairs Department of State and later served in American embassies in Abidjan Saigon Paris and Beirut. He also served at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and as Senior Director for Middle East and South Asia on the staff of the National Security Council. In February 1977 he became Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and Pacific Affairs. He became U.S. Ambassador to Zaire in November 1979 and U.S. Ambassador to Somalia in August 1982. In September 1984 he was appointed Director of the State Department Office of Combating Terrorism. He again joined the National Security Council Staff on January 1 1987 as Assistant to the President for Middle East and South Asia. He was named as U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan in August 1988 succeeding Arnold Lewis Raphel who was killed in an August 17 airplane crash along with Pakistan's President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. After retiring from the Foreign Service in September 1991 Oakley became associated with the United States Institute of Peace. In December 1992 he was named by President George H. W. Bush as Special Envoy for Somalia serving there with Operation Restore Hope until March 1993. In October 1993 he was again named as Special Envoy for Somalia by President Bill Clinton and served in this capacity until March 1994. National Defence paperback
