  8. "Commodore Maddison was the principal commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s operation that conducted a successful embargo in support of the United Nations off the coast of the former Yugoslavia, from April 1993 to April 1994. Under continuous threat of retaliation, his force spent an impressive amount of time at sea and executed a large number of sensitive boarding and interception operations. He achieved high levels of combat readiness and helped inspire a great spirit of cohesion and pride within his dispersed squadron, demonstrating the highest standards of leadership and command. Throughout, he earned the unqualified respect and confidence of all with whom he worked."
