Having been on scene I just wanted to say that Cpl Hornburg did everything right and performed amazingly under the most dire of conditions.  He performed to the highest standard and will always be remembered that way.

OTTAWA, Ontario — One Canadian soldier was killed and four others were wounded on September 24, during Operation SADIQ SARBAAZ, at about 4:30 p.m. Kandahar time.

The incident occurred approximately 47 km west of Kandahar City, in the Panjwayi District.

Killed was 24-year-old Corporal Nathan Hornburg, a Reserve soldier with The King's Own Calgary Regiment (RCAC), based out of Calgary, Alberta. Cpl Hornburg was repairing a Leopard tank with another soldier when he was killed by a mortar shell fired by the Taliban.

Both helicopters and road ambulances were used to evacuate the casualties to the Multinational Medical Unit at Kandahar Airfield. The wounded soldiers are in stable condition and have contacted their families.

Operation SADIQ SARBAAZ (Honest Soldier) is a joint Afghan National Security Forces and International Security Assistance Force operation that will set the conditions for a continuous security presence and the establishment of a new police sub-station in the northern part of Panjwayi.

Cpl Hornburg is the 71st Canadian soldier to die since the Afghan mission began.

RIP Soldier!
