Anzac Exchange Patrol in East Timor
Two sections of Dili-based Kiwi Company are working with Aussie D Company patrolling Baucau and the eastern districts of Timor as part of Anzac exchange. A five-day patrol took Anzac 1 – a mix of Australian and New Zealand soldiers - to the most easterly point of Timor checking roads and liaising with the locals.
At the same time, a section of New Zealanders was in Gleno, to Dili’s south working with G Company.
East Timor Battle Group 5’s - Anzac Exchange gives both groups of soldiers a chance to see how the others do business.
Three two-week programs were conducted to maintain and enhance interoperability between the two forces. Moving to different areas of Timor gives the soldiers experience in operating in varied terrain – urban and rural.
The International Stabilisation Force East Timor is the only combined Australian and New Zealand Force on operations.
