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.

Yours faithfully,

 

Tom Wells
