CHIEF OF JOINT OPERATIONS |
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: SECRET (ENCRYPTED) |
15 October 2004 |
Dear Air Marshal Bruce Ferguson, I'm reaching out in the hopes we can strengthen military-to-military ties between Australia and New Zealand. At the moment Australia conducts Operation Resolute which is a border protection operation that includes patrol zones such as those in Norfolk Island, Lord Howe Island and Macquarie Island which directly border New Zealand's exclusive economic zone. We would like to establish a direct line of communication between the Commander, Operation Resolute Rear Admiral Mark Hill and the Commander in charge of New Zealand's border protection operations to better coordinate responses and the movement of assets between our respective zones of operations. Yours sincerely, Vice Admiral David Johnston. |
