Op Catalyst welcome home parade
More than 300 current and former ADF Veterans and Defence civilians took part in a parade at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, marking the end of Operation Catalyst.
The parade featured Australia’s Federation Guard, the Band of the Royal Military College of Australia and the Royal Australian Navy Band. They were followed by Navy, Army and Air Force contingents, Defence civilians and ex-ADF members in a march-past.
There was also an F/A-18 fly past and equipment displays including a Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat, a Seahawk helicopter, armoured vehicles, and an Army communications suite.
Guests included senior government figures as well as ambassadors of countries involved in the Iraq conflict.
Operation Catalyst was the ADF’s contribution to the US-led Multinational Force effort to develop a secure and stable environment in Iraq and assist national recovery programs.
