While on United Nations duty during the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, then Captain Forand risked his own life under fire by rescuing two injured soldiers, for this action he was awarded the Star of Courage. Major-General Forand later earned the Meritorious Service Cross for his work in Croatia, where in 1995 he guaranteed the safety of 1,200 Serbs who sought protection. Throughout his 33-year military career, Major-General Forand excelled at all levels of command both across Canada and abroad. He served with the NATO Forces in Germany, and with United Nations Forces in Western Sahara, Cyprus and Croatia. He commanded Land Force Quebec Area during the catastrophic 1998 ice storm and directed the work of over 12,000 soldiers during the crisis.

In honour of General Forand a Afghan team from the Mine Detection Dog Center (MDC) was funded for one month clearing landmines in Herat, Afghanistan. Major donors to this effort include:
