Brigadier-General Kampman Director General, Defence Force Structure Review Brigadier-General Kampman enrolled in the Armour Branch of the Canadian Forces in 1978. Most of his operational experience has been with The Royal Canadian Dragoons (RCD) in Lahr, Germany and Petawawa, Ontario. During three tours with the Regiment, he held command and staff appointments at the troop, squadron and regimental level. He commanded the RCD from 2000 to 2002. His operational tours include Germany during the Cold War in the 1980s, Somalia as an armoured squadron commander during Operation DELIVERANCE in 1992-1993, and Afghanistan as Chief of Staff of Regional Command (South) in 2006-2007. In 2008 the Netherlands awarded BGen Kampman with the Medal of Merit (in silver) for his contribution to the Dutch lead-nation efforts in Regional Command (South). Except for a tour on the military staff of the Royal Military College of Canada from 1986 to 1989, BGen Kampman has spent most of his extra-regimental career leading force development initiatives for the Army and the Canadian Forces at the desk officer, section head and director level in National Defence Headquarters. Since 1997, his staff experience has focused on major restructuring and transformation efforts, including Land Force Reserve Restructure, Army Transformation, CF Transformation, and Defence Force Structure Review. BGen Kampman holds a Bachelor of Arts degree with honours from the University of Victoria and a Master of Defence Studies degree from the Royal Military College of Canada. He is a graduate of the Canadian Land Forces Command and Staff Course, the Canadian Forces Command and Staff Course, and the National Security Studies Course. In July 2009 BGen Kampman retired from the Regular Force, transferred to the Primary Reserve, and was promoted to his current rank to assume his duties as Director General Defence Force Structure Review. BGen Kampman enjoys running slowly, playing golf poorly, reading old books on ancient military history, and keeping up with new technology. Matthew Curtiss Architect IBM Matt Curtiss is an I/T Architect with over 26 years of experience designing and developing software for both small and large companies and clients. Matt specializes in developing systems that solve real and challenging business problems. He has seen just how easy it is to lose focus on the actual business need and develop interesting, state-of-the-art systems that fail to solve the original problem. He takes pride in delivering practical, usable large-scale solutions for tough problems. Matt is currently enjoying the challenges of being a key player on the IBM Team developing the replacement American FactFinder system for the U.S. Census Bureau.
