The Overwatch Battle Group (West)-Two has carried out its largest operation since arriving in southern Iraq in November.
A large portion of the Battle Group setup a Forward Operating Base (FOB) in the Ad Bibdibah Desert in the Al Muthanna province during an operation to gain a greater understanding of the desert region near the Saudi Arabian border.
Patrols travelled from the FOB to remote border forts to meet with members of Iraqs Department of Border Enforcement (DBE). One of the DBEs key tasks is to prevent smuggling operations.
Approximately 500 personnel, drawn mostly from Darwin's 1st Brigade, form the Overwatch Battle Group (West) - Two (OBG(W)-2). The Battle Group is helping the Iraqi Security Forces and Provincial Governments build a secure and stable Iraq. OBG(W)-2 operates in the Al Muthanna and Dhi Qar provinces as part of the Multi National Force - Iraq.
