« IN PACE BELLUM PARA » Calgary's Naval Reserve division was established on March 31, 1923, as the Calgary Half-Company, RCNVR. However, it was not christened HMCS TECUMSEH until November 1, 1941. It is named after the Shawnee chief who served with the British and Canadian military forces in the War of 1812. Two years after its christening, the division moved to its present location on 17th Avenue S.W. During the Second World War, over 4,500 personnel enlisted at TECUMSEH. Of those 52 were killed in action. Among them was Lt. Robert Hampton Gray, VC, DSC, RCNVR, the only person in the Canadian Navy to receive the Victoria Cross. Unlike some Naval Reserve divisions in Canada, TECUMSEH survived post-war defence cuts. It has since survived other challenges including armed forces unification, and a major fire in 1981. Rebuilt since the fire, TECUMSEH is a fully modern training facility. In addition to the Naval Reserve, TECUMSEH houses 746 Communications Squadron (an Army Reserve unit), Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps UNDAUNTED, Navy League Cadet Corps CAPTAIN JACKSON and 2509 (RC) Signal Cadet Corps. Subsequent to rebuilding, TECUMSEH became the headquarters of the first female flag officer in the Canadian Navy, Commodore Laraine Orthlieb. In 1992, TECUMSEH felt the pull of war again, this time in the Persian Gulf. At this juncture, several members of the unit volunteered for duty and which two were selected to serve on board HMCS HURON. With the arrival of the KINGSTON-Class, officers from TECUMSEH were selected as the commissioning Captains of HMC Ships EDMONTON, WHITEHORSE, SASKATOON and BRANDON. Numerous members of TECUMSEH have been deployed in various operations such as the G8 Summit, OP APOLLO, Manitoba's 1997 Flood, the 1998 APEC meeting in Vancouver, the recovery mission following the Swiss Air crash off Halifax, and OP PODIUM. Currently we have numerous members serving in various ships and several have served in Afghanistan. La division de la Réserve navale de Calgary est mise sur pied le 31 mars 1923 en tant que demi-compagnie de Calgary de la Réserve de volontaires de la Marine royale du Canada. Cependant, elle est nommée NCSM TECUMSEH uniquement le 1er novembre 1941, d'après le chef Shawnee qui a servi avec les Forces militaires britanniques et canadiennes pendant la guerre de 1812. Deux ans après avoir reçu son nom, la division déménage à son emplacement actuel sur la 17th Avenue S.W. Pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, plus de 4 500 personnes s'enrôlent au TECUMSEH, dont 52 sont tuées en service. Parmi eux se trouve le Lt Robert Hampton Gray, VC, DSC, RVMRC, le seul militaire de la Marine royale canadienne à avoir reçu la Croix de Victoria. Contrairement à certaines divisions de la Réserve navale au Canada, le TECUMSEH survit aux coupures en matière de défense survenues après la guerre. Il survit aussi à d'autres obstacles depuis, y compris l'unification des forces armées et un incendie important en 1981. Depuis sa reconstruction après l'incendie, le TECUMSEH est un édifice d'instruction entièrement modernisé. En plus de la Réserve navale, le TECUMSEH héberge l'escadron des communications 746 (une unité de la Réserve de l'armée), le corps de cadets de la Marine royale canadienne UNDAUNTED, le corps de cadets de la Ligue de la Marine CAPTAIN JACKSON ainsi que le corps des cadets de transmission 2509 (RC). Après la reconstruction, le TECUMSEH devient le quartier général du premier officier général féminin dans la Marine royale canadienne, la Commodore Laraine Orthlieb. En 1992, le TECUMSEH sent l'appel de la guerre à nouveau, cette fois, dans le golfe Persique. À ce moment, plusieurs membres de cette unité se portent volontaires pour travailler et deux d'entre eux sont choisis pour servir à bord du NCSM HURON. Avec l'arrivée de la classe Kingston, des officiers du TECUMSEH sont choisis en tant que capitaines commissionnés des NCSM EDMONTON, WHITEHORSE, SASKATOON et BRANDON. De nombreux membres du TECUMSEH sont déployés dans diverses opérations comme le Sommet du G8, l'OP APOLLO, les inondations de 1997 au Manitoba, la réunion de l'APEC de 1998 à Vancouver, la mission de récupération suivant l'écrasement de la Swiss Air à Halifax et l'OP PODIUM. Actuellement, bon nombre de membres servent à bord de divers navires et plusieurs ont servi en Afghanistan.
