Marking Remembrance Day in Southern Iraq
10 November 2005
Operation CATALYST is the Australian Defence Force's (ADF's) contribution to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Iraq. It comprises about 1320 ADF personnel.
Working with the Interim Iraqi Government, the ADF continues to contribute to Multinational Force efforts to develop a secure and stable environment in Iraq and assist national recovery programs.
The
Al Muthanna Task Group (AMTG) based in the southern
Iraqi province of Al Muthanna is made up of
around 450 personnel and consists of a headquarters,
a cavalry squadron, an infantry company, a training
team and 40 Australian Light Armoured Vehicles
(ASLAV) and has two primary tasks:
Provide a secure environment for the Japanese
Iraq Reconstruction and Support Group (JIRSG);
and
Assist in the training of local Iraqi Army units
so that they are able to take over the internal
and external defence of their country.
