Defence released documents regarding a 9 May 2013 media roundtable where Chief of Army Lieutenant General David Morrison and former Special Operations Task Group commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Paul Burns briefed journalists on the Battle Honour Eastern Shah Wali Kot, awarded to the Special Air Service Regiment and 2nd Commando Regiment for operations during the Shah Wali Kot Offensive in May-June 2010. The release includes the media invitation, an attendance list (with journalist names redacted under s47F), and operational briefing materials describing the June 2010 offensive involving helicopter insertions by 2 SAS Squadron and Alpha Company Commando Group against Taliban leadership near Tarin Kot and Adam Khan Kalay. Attendance was limited and restricted to invited media only, with Defence media controlling all filming due to some participants having protected identity status. The documents show standard Defence media engagement procedures for commemorating special operations achievements.
