We hope this will be the last time for a while that we need to send packages to support our troops deployed overseas!

(Although there will always be service personnel deployed overseas for various reasons, just not in the numbers we have in one place at the moment.)

The Australian Defence Force has formally concluded Operation ASTUTE in Timor-Leste, with all troops and equipment returned to Australia.
