In 1965 an Infantry Battalion was committed and served with the 173rd Airborne of the US Army. It was then decided to commit a Task Force with Logistic support. The Task Force had it's own area of operations (Phuoc Tuy Province) and the total number of personnel in-country rose to 8300 in 1967. The RAAF began operations with C-130 aircraft, Caribou aircraft, Helicopters and a squadron of Canberra bombers. The Australian Navy had deployed a DDG to operate with the US 7th Fleet. The total number of personnel who served in the 10 year involvement was 55000. This number was very small compared to US numbers. Australias defence forces have always been a "Citizens defence Force", and during WW2 one in every seven of the population served in the Defence Forces between 1939-45.

The 26-year old male, David Hicks, was captured by Northern Alliance troops on December 9. Hicks is in good health, the government said, but would not comment on his current whereabouts. The government said that investigations into Hicks were continuing and his transfer to the custody of the U.S. military would help facilitate access by Australian authorities. Hicks' capture has raised a legal debate in Australia over his fate.

The training has been conducted around the North Efate area. This course is the 7th of its kind conducted in Vanuatu and is funded under the Defense Cooperation Program (DCP). The Independent was told that this may be the last patrol's man course held in Vanuatu. Police reports said that the Vanuatu Mobile Force has signed a sister agreement with the 51NFQR in the late 1990s for the two forces to exchange training and courses. One North Efatese said that the VMF members involved in the courses assisted local communities at Lelepa, Moso and Tanoliu in some community works.

The Red Ensign Because the Blue Ensign (Commonwealth Ensign) was the official flag and it's use by ordinary citizens was discouraged many people from the Attorney General down used the Red Ensign as a de-facto Civil Flag. It was not strictly correct, but it happened at every level of the community. In 1914 all three flags, the British Union Flag, the Federal Flag and the Civil flag were all used. Some of the best indications of how the soldiers themselves thought of the flags is in the ensigns that are on display at the Australian War Memorial and the RAAF Museum.

Two frigates presently on duty in the Gulf enforcing United Nations sanctions against Iraq will be redeployed and joined by an amphibious command vessel. In all, around 1,650 Australian military personnel are likely to be involved. But among ordinary Australians, anti-war sentiment is rapidly mounting. An AC Neilsen opinion poll published last weekend in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age reported that 62 percent of the population opposed any involvement in a war on Iraq unless sanctioned by the United Nations, while 30 percent were against a war under any circumstances. Only 6 percent of those polled supported a unilateral US-led strike, down from 37 percent last year, demonstrating that, as the prospect of war draws closer, more and more people want nothing to do with it.

Extractions: 24 December 2002 Use this version to print Send this link by email Email the author The Australian government has refused to deny a newspaper report that its defence forces are being readied for the US-led war against Iraq early next year. An article in the Murdoch-owned Daily Telegraph on December 18 revealed that Australian military commanders were planning for the assault in March. The Telegraph article followed the recent visit by US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage for detailed discussions on war preparations with government ministers and senior Labor Party officials. Quoting senior military sources, the Daily Telegraph The newspaper said that the Pentagon, which already has more than 60,000 troops in the region and 50,000 about to join them in January, was planning for an estimated 300,000 ground troops. If the UN endorsed the US-led attack, other countries would participate. The government is also concerned about increasing unease on the part of ordinary people that participation in the US-led operation will increase the likelihood of Australia becoming a target for terrorist attacks. These fears have intensified since the Bali bombings on October 12, in which 180 people, including 88 Australians, were killed.
