Minutes from the Australian Army Battle Honours Committee meeting held 8 March 2012 documenting consideration of a Special Operations Command (SOCOMD) submission for a battle honour recognising the Shah Wali Kot Offensive in 2010. The committee, chaired by a senior Defence official and including representatives from personnel, operations, and historical branches, met for five hours to review the submission. Substantial portions of the document are redacted under section 22 (information obtained in confidence), obscuring the committee's discussion, analysis, and decision regarding the SOCOMD proposal. The release reveals the formal process for awarding battle honours but provides limited substantive detail due to extensive redaction of the meeting's substantive content and recommendations.
