Australian and New Zealand troops carry out repairs to the Teniru Women's Shelter
Operation ANODE is the name of the ADF contribution to the Australian-led Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI). RAMSI's assistance is known as Operation HELPEM FREN (Pidgin English for 'Helping Friend'). RAMSI's mission is to assist the Solomon Islands Government in restoring law and order, economic governance, and improving the machinery of government.
An important role of Operation ANODE is Civil Military Liaison (CML), where ADF personnel deal directly with members of the local population to find ways to assist them through various community projects.
Rotation 18 of Operation ANODE is mainly drawn from 4 Brigade in Victoria. They arrived in Solomon Islands in March 2009 shortly after assisting in Operation Vic Fires Assist.
The military component of RAMSI is comprised of personnel from four troop-contributing nations - Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Tonga. The main task for the military component is to provide security for RAMSI's multinational Participating Police Force (PPF) who work alongside the Royal Solomon Islands Police in maintaining law and order.
