Author

The author, Dr. Walter Dorn, teaches military officers and civilians at the Canadian Forces College (CFC) and at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC). He is a professor of defence studies and Chair of the Masters of Defence Studies Programme at CFC/RMC. He has researched and served on UN peace operations, and worked as a consultant to the UN's Department of Peacekeeping Operations.

Partly as a result of this Keeping Watch book, the United Nations established an Expert Panel on Technology and Innovation in UN Peacekeeping, with Dr. Dorn as a member. The panel report was published in 2015 with references to this book and advanced recommendations that the United Nations is now seeking to implement.
