'''LIEUTENANT-GENERAL A.B. LESLIE, CMM, MSC, MSM, CD''' was born in December 1957, and his initial schooling was conducted in Canada, the USA, France, Cyprus, and Switzerland, where he became bilingual. His family has a tradition of military service and he joined the 30th Field Artillery Regiment while at Ottawa University. While a student in England he was attached to the Honorable Artillery Company. In 1980 he attended the International Peace Academy UN Staff Seminar in Vienna, Austria. In 1981, he transferred to the regular force and initially served with the 1st Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery in Germany, the regiment that - like his father before him – he eventually commanded. He has completed the British Army Troop Commanders and Tactics course, French Army Commando training, the hand-to-hand combat course, and the combat intelligence course. Other training includes the infantry company commander's course, a variety of artillery courses, Army and the Forces staff colleges, training in project management and the parachute course.

After a succession of field tours with mechanized and airborne combat units in Germany, Cyprus and Canada and command appointments up to regimental level, in early 1995 he was promoted to Colonel and sent to the Former Yugoslavia as Chief of Staff Sector South (Brigade Level). He was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for his actions under fire during the fighting for Knin in August 1995. He then became the Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander of UNCRO (Division level), and finally Chief of Staff of UNPF (Mission level). Following the UN hand-over to NATO forces, MGen Leslie returned to Western Canada as the Area Chief of Staff in 1996, and served in that capacity during the Manitoba floods of Spring 1997.

In July 1997 he became the Commander of 1 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group (1CMBG), an infantry-heavy combat formation based in Western Canada, where the focus was on live-fire combined arms training. In early 1998, 1CMBG deployed to the South shore of Montreal to assist with ice-storm disaster relief operations, followed by an almost continuous cycle of Battle Group and Brigade exercises. That same year he was admitted to the Order of Military Merit in the rank of Officer. In 1999 he was promoted Brigadier-General while a student on the Advanced and National Securities Studies Courses in Toronto. In 2000 he was appointed the J6 of the Canadian Forces, responsible for commanding the communications field groups and regiments, the signals and electronic intelligence functions and supporting the various computer networks used by the Forces. In 2002 he became the Commander Land Force Central Area, responsible for one regular and three reserve Brigades as well as several bases and training establishments.

LGen Leslie was appointed Commander Task Force Kabul and Deputy Commander of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan as of June 2003, and on his return he was awarded the Meritorious Service Cross. He then became the Assistant Chief of the Land Staff. In Fall 2004 to June 2005 he was a full-time PhD student at the Royal Military College in Kingston. In June 2005, he was appointed Director General Strategic Planning in Ottawa. In June 2006, he was promoted to his current rank and appointed Chief of the Land Staff.

LGen Leslie's education includes several degrees and he has studied in Ottawa, London, Toronto, Kingston and at the Harvard Business School. His interests are military history, political science, running and alpine skiing.

CFB PETAWAWA - The new man in charge of 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group is embarking to some uncharted territory. For the first time since the brigade's redesignation, its commander hails from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, or the PPCLI as they're commonly known, a regiment based out of western Canada.
In a change of command ceremony in front of 500 troops Tuesday, Col. Wayne Eyre took over the brigade from Col. Dean Milner. After joining Brig.-Gen. J. C. Collin, commander of Land Force Central Area, and his predecessor in the signing of the change of command scrolls, Col. Eyre addressed his soldiers for the first time, saying he was pleasantly surprised to learn of his appointment to the brigade. This is his first posting to Petawawa.
"My family and I are very much looking forward to the opportunity presented by this posting and by this community," said Col. Eyre, a former commanding officer of 3 PPCLI . Although he's never been with 2CMBG, the incoming commander noted he has worked with Petawawa soldiers in the past and has followed the brigade's progress on recent missions from his post at Canadian Expeditionary Force Command. "Your operational record speaks for itself. You are tough, keen, dedicated and professional, steadfast in the face of the enemy. You don't shy away from a fight and you have seen much success in battle," he said. "I look forward to continuing this practice with you." End of Excerpt>>

In his closing remarks, Col. Milner reflected on his tenure, which began in August 2007. Over that period, he presided over the stand-up and training of one major task force to Kandahar, Afghanistan and guided the brigade in those tough days when Petawawa lost soldiers in combat.
He described his time here as "a hard charging couple of years." He thanked the families and the community for their outstanding support of the brigade's men and women and, in particular, he expressed appreciation to his wife, Katrin, and children, Stephanie and Derek, for his long hours at work. Col. Milner then turned his attention to praising the soldiers that were under his command.
"You've gone off to war, you've accomplished a whole bunch of great things," he said looking out at the parade. "You're back home and you're ready to do some more. This brigade will not slow down. The tempo of this brigade - because it is the best brigade - will continue."
Col. Milner reminded them that the brigade will soon prepare for Task Force 1-10, scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan next spring, and the upcoming G-8 Summit. He assured them that with his wealth of operational experience Col. Eyre has all the right attributes to lead the brigade.
"You have a great commander who's going to take you on that road," said Col. Milner, who will be returning to Petawawa next year to ready the Joint Task Force Headquarters for deployment to Kandahar.
Gen. Collin told the parade the brigade has developed a reputation nothing short of outstanding, having taken on tasks that have been exhaustive and profound over the past two years. He added the formation will be well-served by Col. Eyre at the helm. End of Excerpt>>
