Major Ashley Millham is in his 33rd year of service to Canada as a senior officer in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). He currently serves as Officer Commanding of Banting Company, and CAF Physician Assistant Program Director at the Canadian Forces Health Services Training Center (CFHSTC) in Borden, ON.
Graduating the CAF PA Program in 2010, Warrant Officer Millham was recruited to Canadian Special Operation Regiment as a Physician Assistant. There he was able to hone clinical skills and excelled in remote trauma medicine, tropical and travel medicine.
In 2015, Master Warrant Officer Millham was posted to 1 Canadian Field Hospital as Sergeant Major. In 2016, he deployed to Erbil, Iraq as the Hospital Sergeant Major for the initial deployment of the Role 2 Hospital. In this role, he assisted the initial planning for the deployment by utilising the “glass house” concept. To solve the problem of overfilling space with equipment, he had room outlines taped on the floor and placed the equipment needed, giving planners realistic estimates of equipment capacity in the facility Canada would inherit. The “glass house” model became the primary tool used for final training exercises for hospital staff deploying to Erbil.
After commissioning to rank of Captain, he was posted to London, Ontario as the clinic commander. With COVID-19 forcing multiple rapid military deployments, he planned medical screening and immunization clinics for several hundred Reserve Force soldiers deploying throughout ON and QC.

Major Millham has had operational deployments in Cyprus, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Central and South America, Sub-Sahara Africa and Iraq.
