Operation RESOLUTE is the consolidation of Defence's domestic maritime security activities into a single operation intended to enhance the security of Australia's offshore maritime areas. Operation RESOLUTE is designed to streamline Defence's contribution to whole-of-government efforts to protect Australia 's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Operation RESOLUTE commenced on 17 July 2006 and is commanded by the Joint Offshore Protection Command (JOPC), which has assumed responsibility for operational coordination and control of both civil and military maritime enforcement activities within the EEZ.
Headed by Rear Admiral James Goldrick, JOPC undertakes planning, surveillance, intelligence analysis and deployments to deliver a coordinated, whole-of-government focus on illegal fishing in particular as well as maritime security.
