25 years past, September 1993, 2nd Battalion PPCLI was caught in a 14-day Croatian Army offensive. They endured 24 hours of artillery and mortar fire, and aggressively withstood 15 hours of direct firefights against RPGs, 20mm cannon and machine guns. In the end, the soldiers imposed their will on both the Croatian and Serbian armies, created a buffer zone and enforced a ceasefire. For its steadfastness and professionalism under fire, the unit was awarded one of the first Commander-in-Chief Unit Commendations.
