Operation Mazurka

Operation Mazurka is a six-month deployment for all Australian personnel other than the contingent commander and the North Camp commandant who are deployed for 12 months. Australia has a long association with the MFO, and was one of the original contributing nations. Australia and New Zealand contributed the force's Rotary Wing Aviation Unit (RWAU) (a combined air force helicopter squadron) from March 1982 until April 1986. Australia renewed its commitment to the MFO in January 1993, with an Army contingent of 26 personnel.
