About Operation Mazurka

Operation Mazurka is Australia's contribution to the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) in the Sinai. The MFO is a non-UN organisation established in 1981 to oversee the Camp David Accords of 1978 and the Egypt/Israel Peace Treaty of 1979.

The MFO is maintained by 11 participating nations including Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Fiji and France. Australia's involvement in the MFO began in early 1982 with the formation of an Australia-New Zealand combined helicopter squadron. Both nations were founding contributors to the force, and continue to support the MFO today.

ADF members assist in the peace process by monitoring the border, preparing daily operational briefings and supporting the Headquarters.

There are 25 personnel deployed on Operation Mazurka.
