Overnight an Australian C-17 Globemaster aircraft delivered military stores to Erbil in Northern Iraq. The military stores comprised ammunition that was inspected and cleared by Iraqi officials in Baghdad prior to being delivered to Erbil. The C-17 then returned safely to Al Minhad Air Base in the UAE. Australia's contribution in Iraq will continue to be coordinated with the Iraqi government, regional countries and our international partners. Our mission is similar to assistance being provided by other nations, including the United States, Albania, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Italy, France and the United Kingdom. The ADF is standing by to provide further support to conduct further humanitarian aid and stores drops as required.
