From October 1950 until mid-1951, Australian service personnel were involved in many engagements in Korea, and were praised for their bravery and skill. After that time, the war fell into a stalemate; the frontline barely moved. While patrols and small raids on enemy positions were frequent, large operations were few. However, the contributions of all three army battalions, together with support from the RAN and the RAAF, meant that Australians were an important part of the Commonwealth war effort in Korea.
