"The threat of Da’esh
reaches out from Iraq and Syria across the Middle East to the entire
international community. Australia will continue its strong contribution to
addressing this shared challenge."
Minister for Foreign
Affairs, The Hon Julie Bishop MP
The Commonwealth of Australia plays a major role in the
Coalition – as a leading contributor of troops training Iraqi forces, a participant
in airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, and a significant humanitarian donor.
Australia's military contributions to Combined Joint Task
Force – Operation Inherent Resolve, the multinational coalition dedicated to
militarily defeating the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)
in Iraq and Syria, include:
-
Australian troops training Iraqi Army members, and
advising and assisting Iraq’s Counter-Terrorism Service
- F/A-18’s conducting airstrikes in Iraq and Syria
- Training Iraq’s junior leaders and instructors
