SECDET 16 return home

Around 50 Brisbane-based soldiers from Security Detachment Sixteen (SECDET 16) were met at the airport by family and friends on Saturday after arriving home from an eight month deployment to Baghdad, Iraq.

The solders were mainly from 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry) and were deployed as part of Operation KRUGER, the ADF's contribution to the provision of security and support for the Australian Embassy and its staff.

The task of protecting Australia's diplomatic mission is being transitioned away from the ADF. A reduced number of personnel have been deployed from Darwin-based units as teh SECDET-17 contingent.
