Soldiers Conduct Routine Patrol of Solomon Island Correctional Centre Perimeter

Soldiers of CTF 635 conduct a routine patrol around the perimeter of Honiara’s Rove Central Correctional Centre in the Solomon Islands.

The soldiers maintain an Observation Post (OP) above Honiara’s Correctional Centre complex in order to provide additional support and situational awareness to the Correctional Service of the Solomon Islands (CSSI). Close liaison with the CSSI along with regular patrols of the perimeter ensure a high level of security is maintained and the smuggling of contraband prevented.

The soldiers are in the Solomon Islands in support of Operation ANODE – the Australian Defence Force (ADF) contribution to the Australian led Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI).
