10th Mountain Division Barracks
One of 20 plaques from the "Pax Americana" series created for the D.B. Weldon Library at Western University.
"This building was requisitioned in 2035 to house elements of the United States Army’s 10th Mountain Division during Operation McKinley, the campaign to liberate the northern territory formerly known as Canada. The division occupied the site for approximately eighteen months before oversight was transferred to local authorities.
The division, trained for close-quarters combat and population control, found itself underutilized. Briefed for guerrilla activity, sabotage, and widespread resistance, soldiers instead encountered a local population that was, with few isolated exceptions, apathetic toward the newly instituted American presence. Major Alexander Knox, then in control of the region, observed: “We knew we were the winning team, but we expected more of that hockey-goon lumberjack stuff you used to see in beer commercials.”"
