Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). This Australian-led mission aimed to restore law and order in the Pacific nation following periods of local unrest. RAMSI was a collaborative effort, with contributions from 15 nations dedicated to rebuilding peace and stability in the Solomon Islands. Over its nearly 14-year duration, more than 7,000 Defence members were deployed to support this mission. Australia's official commitment to RAMSI concluded in 2017. To every Defence member, Australian Federal Police Officer, and civilian support staff who played a part in RAMSI, we thank you for your service. 📸@Defence Australia | Members of 11th Brigade - Australian Army on patrol in Solomon Islands.
