Dear New Zealand Defence Force,
I am writing to request any information possible about NZSAS deployments to Iraq as a part of the Defeat ISIS Coalition, in particular, if they were involved in any form of combat beyond indirect fire. I am also writing to request what the undisclosed fifth country New Zealand has deployed personnel to as a part of said coalition, beyond Iraq, Qatar, Jordan, and Kuwait, as well as what type of personnel these were.
