6th International Forum for Peace, Security, and Prosperity (IFPSP) in Palermo, Italy, from March 22–25
RMC was exceptionally well represented by OCdts J.D. Comegys and James Lawson, Cpl Patrick Marsalek, and NCdt Nahian Khan, who participated in academic panels, workshops, the March for Peace, and collaborative discussions with peers from around the world. The delegation was also pleased to reconnect with Dr. Hal Klepak, Professor Emeritus of History and Strategy at RMC, who addressed the forum and mentored participants. Col Dr. Coombs served as Academic Organizing Chair, helping shape the forum’s themes, speakers, and workshops, while also presenting on Canadian perspectives on military resilience and leadership through the historical example of the Medok Pocket. In a particularly meaningful moment, he shared Canadian Second World War medals belonging to a soldier who served in the Italian Campaign, offering cadets a tangible connection to history. Dr. Rossy returned for a second consecutive year as emcee of the forum, served on the Academic Planning Committee, and led a student plenary where cadets from participating nations reflected on the future of military resilience and international cooperation.
