A Gift That Brings History to Life
The endowment further supports participation in international forums and exchanges, where cadets engage with peers from military academies around the world to explore issues of peace, security, and resilience. It also enables experiential opportunities in Canada, such as exposure to aviation and defence environments, strengthening their understanding of modern military operations.
These experiences are not ancillary—they are formative. They provide cadets with profound, perspective-shaping opportunities that extend far beyond traditional academic learning. By placing them directly in the context of history, conflict, and ethical decision-making, these activities challenge cadets to think critically, lead with integrity, and fully understand the responsibilities of military service.

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.
