I am in the process of re-writing this article off line and am hoping to clarify 2 RAR's involvement in Confrontation. The article as it stands states that the unit was involved in Confrontation, however, I am unable to find this anywhere else. The AWM indicates that 3 RAR and 4 RAR were only infantry battalions deployed (along with SASR) [1]. The 1995 Oxford Companion to Australian Military History indicates this as well, along with some RAA and RAE units (p. 173).
2 RAR's first tour to Malaya was Oct '55 - Oct '57, and the second was Oct 61' - Aug '63. The dates of the second tour overlap with the start of Confrontation, although I don't think we sent an infantry battalion to Confrontation until March 1965. Given this I suspect that 2 RAR's involvement in Confrontation has been added arbitrarily because of the overlapping dates.
I'm not really sure, though, can anyone confirm one way or another? I am working off line at the moment, so it does not really matter at the moment, but it would be good to have this confirmed before I upload. Cheers. AustralianRupert ( talk) 21:21, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
I am fairly confident of being able to put something together about East Timor 1999-2000, it is just a matter of putting it together. I will probably get that done tonight and tomorrow. What I really need help with is the more recent operations - Solomons and Iraq. Also, should the more recent East Timor deployments be touched upon? I only have sources for 99-00, so would probably need someone to help with the more recent operations. Does anyone feel up to having a crack at these? If we can get these completed and perhaps a couple of images added, I think that the article would a able to be assessed as a B class. AustralianRupert ( talk) 03:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
I was not able to provide a complete list of 2 RAR COs as the source I have for them only goes up to the end of 2000. Can someone help with adding the last few? AustralianRupert ( talk) 21:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
