Historical Note
The Western world had been troubled by terrorism for some time, though the attacks on New York City, Washington DC and Pennsylvania on September 11 2001 altered the political landscape. The United States of America, outraged, had called the attacks “an act of war” and were determined to fight back. Three days after the September 11 attack, Australian Prime Minister John Howard, who was in Washington DC at the time of the attacks, invoked the mutual-defence clauses of the ANZUS treaty, the first time this has been done in the fifty years since it had been signed. Along with the United States of America, Britain and Spain, Australia became a part of the International Coalition against Terrorism.
The United States led ‘Operation Enduring Freedom’ began on October 7 2001, with missiles and bombings against al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan. Within weeks US forces were on the ground in Afghanistan.
On October 16 2001, Prime Minister John Howard announced that Australia would provide 1500 defence personnel to the operation by mid-November 2001. In addition, between November 2001 and December 2002, three rotations of 150 SAS personnel, as Special Forces Task Force, were deployed to Afghanistan. Australia’s initial involvement in Afghanistan ended in December 2002 and in March 2003, Australia became involved in the United States led Coalition Second Gulf War operation in Iraq. Australia’s involvement in both the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts was met with both support and opposition from the public in Australia.
Between December 2002 and September 2005, no Australian military units were deployed to Afghanistan, though some personnel remained, working with US and Coalition forces. Insurgent violence had increased by 2005 and in September 2005, Australia’s Special Forces Task Unit was redeployed to Afghanistan for a period of twelve months in an effort to target key insurgent groups. In the following years, Australian’s military commitment in Afghanistan, working within the International Security Force (ISAF), continued with subsequent deployments for forces under Operation SLIPPER. Australian military personnel were mostly deployed to areas of southern Afghanistan, in Uruzgan and Kandahar provinces. Under Operation SLIPPER, Australia deploys approximately 1550 personnel annually, with approximately 800 personnel deployed annually to the Middle East Area of Operations (MEAO), including maritime forces.
