Ménard had commanded the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan in 2009 through 2010. Two different allegations triggered his replacement and demotion. He was court-martialed for what was described as the reckless discharge of a weapon, while safely back on base. He was also alleged to have engaged in a sexual relationship with a subordinate.
Ménard resigned from the armed forces. After his resignation he took a job with GardaWorld, a private security firm. GardaWorld assigned him to direct its private security operations in Afghanistan. News of his arrest by Afghan authorities became public on January 29, 2014, when he first appeared in an Afghan court. He had been arrested on January 12, 2014, following a visit to an Afghan Ministry.
Accounts differ as to the nature of his arrest. Some sources assert he was arrested on weapons charges. Other sources assert Afghan authorities arrested him because his firm did not have, or no longer had, official authorization to perform security operations in Afghanistan. GardaWorld has claimed his arrest is all due to a simple misunderstanding.
