Operation ACCORDION is the Australian Defence Force (ADF) overarching support mission to ADF operations and activities in the Middle East Region (MER). Operation Accordion also enables contingency planning and enhancement of regional relationships.
The Australian National Headquarters – MER, known as Headquarters Middle East (HQME), oversees Operation Accordion through its support to deployed ADF personnel and assets in the MER.
On ANZAC day we remember the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers who died on 25 April 1915, and all personnel who served and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. We reflect on their courage, discipline and self-sacrifice.
The ANZAC spirit lives on in the hearts and minds of all Australians as we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who contributed so much to shaping the identity of our nation.
Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel across Australia and serving around the world will commemorate ANZAC Day through dawn services and commemorative services as a mark of respect to those who have served.
