Master Corporal Harris was mentioned in dispatches for service while deployed in support of the 1st Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group in Afghanistan. On October 3, 2006, while called to reinforce a Canadian observation post under attack, he manoeuvred his Bison recovery vehicle to shield the evacuation and treatment of casualties. Continuously exposed to enemy fire, Master Corporal Harris provided suppressive machine gunfire, which forced the enemy to take cover and reduced the accuracy of their fire.
