Phil Mercer, a journalist, stated in the report "Australia Commits More Troops to Iraq," broadcast by The Voice of America on Feb. 22, 2005 :
The following statement taken from "International Contributions to the War on Terror," on the CENTCOM website on Jan. 10, 2005 :
- The ADF's contribution to the coalition may not have been large as a proportion of the total, but the achievements of its defence forces were outstanding.
- No less important were the efforts of many other ADF personnel and defence civilians behind the front lines who contributed to this operational success in so many ways.
The results of the Australian participation in coalition operations in Iraq were:
- Removal of the threat to international security presented by Iraq's defiance of the international community.
- Demonstration of the international community's determination to confront threats associated with the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
- The toppling of Saddam has been a salutary lesson to other rogue states with effects that have already become evident in the recent behaviour of Libya.
- The people of Iraq now have the chance for a brighter future and to share the freedoms that most of us take for granted.
- For that chance to become reality will require an ongoing commitment by the world community for some time to come. But despite the obstacles progress is being made, and Australia and the ADF continue to be part of that commitment. These are substantial achievements. They have made a palpable difference.
Op CATALYST is the ADF's post-conflict contribution to the Australian whole-of-government effort to assist with the rehabilitation of Iraq and its transition to self-government. The operation came into effect on 16 July 2003.
- The ADF continues to make a valuable, and in certain instances, unique contribution to the rehabilitation of Iraq, the rebuilding of Iraqi armed forces and the transition to self-government.
- Nearly 850 Australians are currently serving (at 1 Apr. 04) in the Middle East, including:
- an Australian Joint Task Force headquarters for command of ADF elements deployed in the Middle East. The headquarters is responsible for both Operation Catalyst and Operation Slipper, Australia's contribution to the war against terrorism;
- a naval component of about 175 personnel, comprising the HMAS Stuart (ANZAC class FF);
- a RAAF C-130 Hercules detachment of about 150 personnel with two transport aircraft, ground crew and other support elements;
- an Air Traffic Control detachment and support personnel at Baghdad International Airport, and Combined Air Operations Staff, totalling around 65 personnel;
- a security detachment of about 90 personnel including armoured vehicles and an explosive ordnance detachment to provide protection and escort for Australian Government personnel working in our Representative Office in Baghdad;
- up to 15 analysts and technical experts in Iraq supporting the 1300-strong Iraq Survey Group - the coalition effort to locate, identify, account for and subsequently destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs;
- an Australian contribution to various coalition headquarters and units, and combined logistics and communications elements comprising about 90 personnel;
- a RAAF AP-3C Orion detachment of about 160 personnel, with two aircraft and associated command and support elements supporting both the rehabilitation operation in Iraq and the coalition operation against terrorism;
- Defence has also contributed specialist personnel and assets to Iraqï's rehabilitation, including:
- a Military Adviser to the UN Special Representative of the Secretary General in Iraq;
- four ADF officers to the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) - two working in Baghdad and two working in the provincial CPA offices;
- four ADF personnel working with the Coalition Military Assistance and Training Team to assist the development of the Iraqi Defence Force, and three Defence Civilians providing policy advice to the CPA's Office of National Security Affairs;
- a temporary Military Liaison Officer supporting the Australian Representative Office in Baghdad (essentially performing the role of a Defence Attache) an Australian officer, Major General Jim Molan AO, has been appointed Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations within the Multinational Force Coalition headquarters in Baghdad;
- Seven Army officers working directly in support of UK forces in Iraq employed primarily on rehabilitation, community building and governance tasks; a RAN training team to support the development of a new Iraqi Coastal Defence Force ; and
- an Army training team comprising 53 Australian Army personnel to form part of the Coalition Military Assistance Training Team effort for the Iraqi Armed Forces. Specifically, three Iraqi army battalions and a brigade staff. This included selecting and training those to form the leadership of the first Iraqi brigade.
The contribution of all these personnel has been regarded highly by the Coalition Provisional Authority with a number receiving personal praise from Ambassador Bremer."
