Disagree - this entry should evolve over time to cover the military aspects of the crisis and will be of lasting value. --

Disagree - The intricate details of the military operation and the units involved are only going to grow. They are already too big for the event page. The event and the military operation are two distinct subjects.
Tale07:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)reply
Disagree - this article will continue to grow in the coming days and weeks, and may itself have to be split into seperate articles.

There may be some Philippine involvement, a PAF C130 landed in Darwin this afternoon bound for Dili - keep your eyes out. If it is just to evacuate citizens, should they be included in this article because that probably wouldn't be considered part of this operation.

I don't think so, unless AFP representatives say that they are officially part of the operation. They went there just to evacuate Philippine nationals.

I saw a news story which stated that Philippino C-130 aircraft were flying humanitarian supplies into East Timor. I haven't read anything else on the extent of The Philippines involvement in the operation. --

Are the Portuguese part of this operation at all? I was under the impression that they are operating entirely separately and answer directly to the Portuguese diplomatic mission in Dili.--

While the Portugese force isn't under Australian command, it is aparently operating in cooperation with the Australian-led force. I've added a couple of sentances to clarify this. --

The command of the international military force and the (military) police force is not the same. In the case of the police force (military or paramilitary police), having as source many news articles
[1][2][3], which quote Ramos Hortas and the Captain of the Portuguese force, there will not be an only command, but a coordination structure between the Malayan (200 agents), Portuguese (120 agents) and Australian (70 agents) police forces in East Timor. The Portuguese force (GNR) will be commanded by Captain Gonçalo Carvalho, and will report directly to President Xanana Gusmão, and in which another office of the Republican National Guard will act as a link between the Malayan and Australian commanders.

Should have been Malaysia. Malaya had ceased to exist since 1963. Don't worry. Common mistakes among non-Malaysians to assume Malaysia's name is Malaya.

I had added elements of 4th Mechanised Brigade based on some photos that I had viewed. It is believed that some element from 19 Royal Malay Regiment are also sent to Timor Leste. However, it is said only their support APC are sent in. Note: 19 RMR was the same unit involved in the rescue of TFR in Somalia.
A local daily
Utusan Malaysia had also reported that TL Foreign Minister,
Ramos Horta had announced his government's intention to request to the UN Sec Council to form a full-fledged peacekeeping force in TL with Malaysia leading the mission. The announcement was made above KD Mahawangsa during an official function organised by Malaysian forces. Until I received similar information from international news bulletin, I will leave this information in the discussion. Not that I don't trust the local news, but when it comes to news regarding to the military, they are extremely prone to misreporting. -

The presence of 19th Royal Malay have been confirmed with an interview with one of members of the battalion in Dili. The member is a veteran of Battle of Mogadishu. -
