Is there any source for this comment about Aileen Carroll voting against the DART team? I can't find anything on google about that. Sounds spurious, actually. Anyone? -- DarrenBaker 15:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
OK, I'm removing the info, since I can't find any source for it and nobody has come forward with one. -- DarrenBaker 22:42, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Which of Canadian Forces Disaster Assistance Response Team or Disaster Assistance Response Team should redirect to the other? Since the second is currently the most develloped, I'll redirect Canadian Forces Disaster Assistance Response Team to it until somebody decides something else. -- Circeus 00:54, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)
Are the names acronyms? If not, I doubt the all-cap is needed. Also, can somebody try to dig up the name of the Sri Lankan operation? -- Circeus 02:24, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
They are not acronyms it is just a word chosen starting with the first letter of the country involved.
A few months after it's inception DART deployed as OP ASSURANCE. My involvement in this endeavor was too direct to be completely objective editing the article. Personal, the military idiom 'cluster f***' keeps coming to mind. Even most internet searchs of this mission are less than flattering, if they can be found at all. However, I can't help but feel Mugunga Camp's dissolution occurred as a direct result of UN Security Council Resolution 1078 and the factions' distaste for a multinational force intervention. i.e. Just showing up made the difference.
Should anyone with a NPOV wish to expand this article, I've included a scan of the original DART badge (given the limited quanity and how offset 'Humanitus' is I think these were a last-second item) and a few other relevent links:
OPERATION “ASSURANCE”:PLANNING A MULTI-NATIONAL FORCE FOR RWANDA/ZAÏRE
Canadian Military Journal Spring 2001

LESSONS LEARNED? Operation “Assurance” proved to be a major test of new CF Joint Doctrine and related operational planning processes then being implemented. This was Canada’s first attempt at leading a joint and combined multi-national force in an armed humanitarian operation. The operation was only the second operational deployment of the Joint Force Headquarters (resident within 1 Canadian Division in Kingston), and the first operational deployment of the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART).

Part II – Operational Activity
Observations and lessons learned
http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/reports/CDS2/report_e.asp#Observations%20and%20lessons%20learned
Applying lessons learned led to the creation of the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART), which is an organization designed to be rapidly deployed anywhere in Canada or abroad where humanitarian assistance is required as a result of a disaster. It has been deployed only once—in 1996 during Operation Assurance—when a small contingent of the team’s advance party was deployed to Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) to assist the refugees from Rwanda. Experience from this mission pointed to logistical problems associated with sharing staff and resources between DART and the 1st Canadian Division Headquarters. Sharing common resources prevents the simultaneous deployment of the two units. As a result, a plan to establish a permanent, separate cadre of DART headquarters and logistics personnel at CFB Trenton is being implemented.

The first significant movement of troops is scheduled for Sunday, when 100 or more members of the country's newly organized Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) will leave for Kigali, Rwanda. Air force officials are on alert to prepare for the movement of 1,000 or more others as soon as a detailed deployment plan is released, probably early next week.
Doesnt the US government have DART?
This article has sentences that are 3 years out of date, ie talking about at disaster that occurred in 2005: "the team is set to deploy in the blah blah region" - its 2008...was this just copied from a news article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.202.32.176 ( talk) 04:25, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
