Specialist Combat Communications Course
Operation ASTUTE is the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) contribution to the Australian Government's response to a request from the Government of East Timor to assist in restoring peace and stability to their country.
The ADF has deployed to East Timor with a mission to assist the East Timorese government and the United Nations to bring stability, security and confidence to the Timorese people to allow them to resolve their differences peacefully.
The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is working alongside the ADF to assist with this mission.
Together, the ADF and NZDF personnel form the International Stabilisation Force (ISF) in East Timor.
International police from Australia and 20 other nations provide security in Dili as part of the United Nations Police Force. The ISF provides support to these police operations as required.
