Here is an excerpt from Canoe News article:

The Multinational Force and Observers was created to help implement the 1979 Camp David peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. It comprises 1,800 troops from 11 nations, including the United States, Canada, several European states and Australia and New Zealand. They act as a peace-monitoring force in the Sinai peninsula - the battlefield of three Arab-Israeli wars between 1956 and 1973.

Canada's contribution to the MFO is called Operation Calumet, a 29-member team ranging in rank from corporal to colonel, according to the Defence Department's website.

Canada originally sent a helicopter unit and 140 personnel to Egypt in 1986 but has since scaled back the mission.

All Canadians are based at the North Camp in el-Goura, Sinai. The Canadian roles include providing air traffic control, training and engineering services.
