"Camp Mirage — a Mideast air base that is the key link in the military air bridge between CFB Trenton and our forces in Afghanistan. Almost everyone and everything involved in Canada's Afghanistan war effort goes through Camp Mirage, including the returning flag-draped caskets of Canadian soldiers killed in action .. But it's an open secret."

"In 2005–2006, Williams also served as the commanding officer of Camp Mirage, a secretive logistics facility believed to be located at Al Minhad Air Base in Dubai, United Arab Emirates that provides support to Canadian Forces operations in Afghanistan.[9][16][20]

In July 2009, Williams became the base commander at Canadian Forces Base Trenton, the country's busiest air base and locus of support for overseas military operations. Located in Trenton, Ontario, the base also functions as the point of arrival for the bodies of all Canadian Forces personnel killed in Afghanistan, and the starting point for funeral processions along the "Highway of Heroes" whence their bodies are brought to Toronto for autopsy.[16][21][22][23][24]"
