ADoD News Release, Canberra, 01 September 2021: The ANZUS Treaty was signed on September 1, 1951, in the wake of World War II and was designed to protect the security of the Pacific.

Chief of the Defence Force General Angus Campbell said ANZUS remained a powerful demonstration that the treaty signatories do not stand alone and are stronger when working together. “Today I reflect on the long history of mateship between Australia and the United States, and remember those who laid down their lives to protect the security and prosperity of our two nations,” General Campbell said.

OPINION: Whether you love it or loathe it, New Zealand's military history should be treated with respect.

An estimated 375 people were left behind in Afghanistan when the Government stopped evacuation flights, and a “second phase” of the evacuation effort is far from beginning.

The evacuation effort to airlift New Zealand citizens, visa holders, and Afghan allies ended on Friday after a deadly terror attack outside Kabul’s international airport. The hastily arranged operation came after the militant Taliban seized control of Afghanistan more than two weeks ago.
