Handover for command of Combined Task Force 158
Commodore du Toit is in charge of several Coalition ships from the United States, the United Kingdom, Iraq and Australia (including HMAS Anzac) and about 1000 personnel as commander of Combined Task Force (CTF) 158.
CTF 158 conducts maritime security operations in the Persian Gulf, which helps set the conditions for security and stability and protect Iraq's sea-based infrastructure, which provides the Iraqi people the opportunity for self-determination.
Iraq's oil platforms account for about 90 per cent of the country's gross domestic product.
