Career

In 2017 he was appointed commander of the 3rd Canadian Division.[4] A ceremony to designate him Commander of the Canadian Army in September 2021 was cancelled at the last moment due to sexual misconduct complaint involving "historical allegations".[5][6][7] The investigation was over 1994 events in the Royal Military College of Canada.[8]
War in Ukraine
In April 2022, he travelled to Ukraine, to join the fight against the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[9][10][11][12] Russian sources often refer to him as Trevor Kadier.[13]
There were reports of his arrest,[14][15] and that different rescue attempts lead to the destruction of several Ukrainian helicopters.[16][17][18] On 28 April, spokesperson Eduard Basurin, said he was one of as many 400 foreign fighters trapped in the Azovstal iron and steel works during the Siege of Mariupol operation.[19]
Cadieu was not officially captured, but indicated in an email from Ukraine that he was "making arrangements to return to Canada" to face sexual assault charges. [20]
