History / Summary

The tri-service Force Level Logistic Asset (FLLA) is a communications element and movement control group of 110 personnel who are responsible for a range of logistic, training and communications activities associated with the Australian Defence Force's Operation CATALYST. Operation CATALYST is Australia's contribution to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Iraq. Every Australian Defence Force member deployed to the Middle East group must pass through FLLA in Kuwait both into and out of the country. This flag represents the FLLA team who were deployed to Kuwait from September 2007 until February 2008 and is one of eight flags made for the deployment. Two were destroyed. Known military acronyms used on the flag include: FLLA -A (Force Level Logistic Asset - Kandahar, Afghanistan); FLLA-B (Force Level Logistic Asset - Baghdad); FLLA-TK (Force Level Logistic Asset - Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan); FLLA-K (Force Level Logistic Asset - Kuwait); JMCC (Joint Movement Coordination Centre); SATR (Subcontract Administrator Technical Representative) and PsST (Psychology Support Team).
