Half way mark for HMAS Toowoomba
On the 29 May 2009 the Government announced that the ADF would contribute to international efforts to combat piracy off the Horn of Africa. The ADF will formally commence counter-piracy operations in support of Combined Task Force 151 (Counter-Piracy Task Force) in September 2009.
Operation SLIPPER is Australia's military contribution to coalition efforts against international terrorism. Under this operation our forces contribute to the efforts of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) - led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, aimed 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.
