Description
An Australian soldier stops in a Baghdad street, near the former Australian Embassy residence, to talk with two members of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment on patrol in their Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV). During Operation Falconer the 2nd Cavalry Regiment formed part of the Australian Security Detachment (SECDET) that played a key role in ensuring the protection of Australian diplomats in Iraq. The 2nd Cavalry Regiment operated in the Middle East as part of the Australian Defence Force's commitment to the coalition forces assembled to enforce Iraq's compliance with its international obligations to disarm.
