Description
Camp Bradman, base of an Australian Defence Force medical team deployed to Pakistan to provide health care assistance to those affected by the earthquake of October 2005. Known as Operation Pakistan Assist, the immediate aim of the relief effort was to provide medical assistance to the people in the Dhanni area, about 20km north east of Muzaffarabad on the Pakistan side of the Kashmir Line of Control. An Australian Army Black Hawk helicopter detachment from the Army's 5th Aviation Regiment based in Townsville enabled aero-medical assistance to remote regional villages in rugged terrain with limited road access, often subject to sub-zero temperatures.
