Soldiers want recognition for dangerous mission evacuating Canadian embassy in Libya .
Operation Lobe , specifically the sixth rotation, was an operation that happened far from Canadians ’ gaze and in the shadow of the Benghazi attack in 2012 .
The mission was to protect Canadian interests and diplomats in Libya after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 .
Task force members want recognition from the Canadian Armed Forces .
Operation Lobe was the longest ground evacuation ever conducted in the Armed Forces by a team of trained police protection operators and support staff that were not trained and equipped to do that.
They had to work quickly and covertly, burning classified documents, destroying ammunition they couldn’t bring and loading up armoured vehicles.
The Department of National Defence says honours have been awarded for those involved in Operation Lobe but couldn’t provide any evidence of the 2014 evacuation being recognized.
Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman has made a promise to rectify this.
“It would be profound and very powerful to take a fresh look at this, look at who did what in the accomplishment of that team, in that mission,” said Cruickshank .
