 UNMISET
(UN Mission Of Support In East Timor)
After East Timor gained its independence, the
Peacekeeping operations in East Timor was changed
from UNTAET to UNMISET (UN Mission Of Support In East Timor). The 61-men Platoon Task force
2 serving in UNTAET was repatriated on 7 Jun 02,
with Platoon Task force 3 taking over its vigilance
in the region. Its tour of duty ended on 15 Oct
02.
SAF's increased contributions
to UNMISET
Subsequently, under the request of the UN, Singapore
has increased her peacekeeping efforts in Timor
Leste. SAF's Platoon task force has been expanded
into a Company Task Force (CTF), which
will serve with the Thai Battalion in the South-West
sector of Timor Leste. A 72-man Air Support Crew
consisting of Pilots, Air crew, Technician and
other support staff, and
4 UH-1H Helicopters from
RSAF were also deployed alongside the CTF. This
is the first time that NS-Full time (NSF) and
NSmen volunteers has been deployed as combat peacekeepers.
