TLAG 14 Officer Commanding, Major Tony Dennis, said that his detachment had “performed exceptionally well”, conducting five AMEs “in support of ISF soldiers on patrol in Timor Leste, the Tour de Timor, Operation TOWER and local nationals.”

Personnel from TLAG 14 were presented with the East Timor Solidarity Medal during a ceremony attended by the President of Timor-Leste José Ramos-Horta, ahead of their return home on February 14.
