Workshop team keeps MRTF equipment in shape
The skilled soldiers from the Workshop in Tarin Kowt are proving to be a critical asset, ensuring operations in Afghanistan continue.
They are from the Combat Service Support Team which is part of the 1st Battalion Battle Group, which forms the second rotation of the Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force.
Operation SLIPPER is Australia's military contribution to international campaigns against terrorism, countering piracy in the Gulf of Aden, and maritime security.
Under this operation our forces contribute to the efforts of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) - led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, which seeks to bring security, stability and prosperity to the country and aims at preventing Afghanistan again becoming a safe haven for international terrorists, and the United States-led International Coalition Against Terrorism (ICAT) efforts in the broader Middle East.
