"This study examines how military culture, and particularly that of the Canadian Airborne Regiment, affected the behaviour of Canadian soldiers in Somalia."--Back cover. This study examines how military culture, and particularly that of the Canadian Airborne Regiment, affected the behavior of Canadian soldiers in Somalia. It argues that the events which occurred in Somalia in 1993 can be traced to contradictions within the military establishment (due to the tension between the traditional, or combat, paradigm and the modern, or bureaucratic/occupational, paradigm); to the culture and organization of the Airborne combat unit; and to the situational contingencies that arose from the external environment in Somalia. Material was gathered from visual records, personal and official documents and studies on other national forces in Somalia, and on Canadian peacekeeping operations elsewhere. The interpretations and analysis in this study are based on more than 50 in-depth interviews and focus groups held with military personnel who were deployed to Somalia.
