Latest images from Operation OUTREACH
The soldiers serving on Operation OUTREACH are from Joint Task Force 641 (JTF 641), the Australian Defence Force’s logistical contribution to the whole of government Interagency Task Force (IATF).
JTF 641 is based on the North West Mobile Force (NORFORCE), a Regional Force Surveillance unit that is located throughout the NT.
NORFORCE has built significant goodwill, trust and recognition in indigenous communities over the last 25 years. The unit has a high proportion of Aboriginal soldiers and unit relies heavily on the commitment and local knowledge of the population of northern and central Australia to fulfil its role.
On Operation OUTREACH, NORFORCE soldiers have been warmly welcomed and well received in the 20 communities they have visited in escorting Australian Government representatives during the first two weeks of the site survey patrol program.
