Taking their name from the distinctive towers built during the nineteenth century to defend Kingston, Ontario, these papers cover a wide range of topics and issues relevant to contemporary international strategic relations. “War with Iraq,” whether as a call to arms, a slogan of dissent or a matter for more detached speculation, has been the dominant motif of international debate in the latter half of 2002. The casual observer might be excused for concluding from this that we are not already at war. Sean Maloney reminds us here that, in the absence of Iraq’s full compliance with the arms control regime and other condi- tions of the 1991 ceasefire which ended Desert Storm, a de facto state of war has continued to the present, albeit in a sporadic and inconsistent way.

The shore personnel of CFB Halifax have supported the deployment of seven RCN ships during that time, the base brought a new accommodations block online with Tribute Tower, and enti- ties like BLog, BIS, BCompt, BAdm and others have all had noteworthy successes worth celebrating at the unit level. What the Base Commander found, however, is that he had no good av- enue for recognizing unit or personal accomplishments and for commend- ing his people for the hard work they do each day. This was part of the reason for the return of Base Divi- sions, which haven’t been held regu- larly at CFB Halifax in recent years. The first was held at the new Willow Park Armoury on April 17, with CAF members from all three elements on parade, and Capt(N) Mazur said Divi- sions will continue to be held quar- terly going forward.
