RAEME Craftsmen providing essential support on Op Lilia – Solomons'
Above: Our Craftsmen on OP Lilia open 'Spanner Packs'. Two of the fours packs have arrived, we're hopeful the other two will turn up before the team RTA.
In the ongoing mission to maintain stability and support local law enforcement in the Solomon Islands, Operation Lilia, the ADFs contribution to the Solomon Islands International Assistance Force (SIAF). This operation underscores Australia's commitment to regional security and cooperation.
RAEME craftsmen bring essential skills to Operation Lilia, ensuring ADF and allied forces remain operationally effective. Their expertise in maintaining and repairing equipment, coupled with their ability to respond rapidly to technical issues, minimises equipment downtime and maximises operational readiness. Their role is critical in meeting mission objectives regardless of the Solomons Islands’ tropical climate and rugged terrain taking a toll on equipment.
Above: Our Craftsmen on OP Lilia hard at it!
The RAEME National Network via Operation Spanner Pack, recently supplied our craftsmen on the ground with ‘Spanner Packs’ to support the dedication and professionalism of the RAEME craftsmen deployed in Operation Lilia. These packs contain items not supplied by Defence or locally available, which will assist our soldiers to live more comfortably and enjoy some of those favourite things they miss from home.
