Interfet stands for International Force East Timor. Between 20 September 1999 and 21 February 2000, a multinational force under unified command, with Australia as the lead nation, deployed to East Timor under the authority of the United Nations Security Council . The deployment of the multinational force, known as the International Force for East Timor (INTERFET), was prompted by a humanitarian crisis in East Timor resulting from a collapse in law and order. INTERFET was replaced on 23 February 2000 with a peacekeeping force under UN command forming part of the UN Transitional Authority in East Timor (UNTAET). The deployment of the Australian Defense Force (ADF) to East Timor as the lead contingent for INTERFET posed many challenges to both ADF doctrine and capabilities. Involvement in INTERFET constituted the largest overseas deployment by the ADF since the Vietnam War and occurred following a period of downsizing of the defence force accompanied by the assignment of civilians to many positions formerly occupied by military personnel. The complex operational and legal environments prevailing prior to and throughout the deployment magnified the challenges set by the size and timing of the operation. INTERFET was established under unified command rather than UN command. Major General Peter Cosgrove, at the time the Commander of the ADF's Deployable Joint Force Headquarters (DJFHQ) based in Brisbane, was designated Commander INTERFET (COMINTERFET). Headquarters INTERFET was formed by the DJFHQ with supplementary support from other contributing States. The ADF's Headquarters 3 Brigade from Townsville provided the foundation for HQ Land Component Command later renamed HQ WESTFOR. Although the figures varied throughout the INTERFET deployment, 22 contributing nations w ere represented in INTERFET with a total force strength of approximately 12,600. Australia provided the largest contingent of 5,521 ADF personnel. The INTERFET concept of operations was for a four-phase operation with a preliminary phase involving preparation in Australia prior to deployment to East Timor. The four phases were as follows: Phase 1 - Control: during this phase, INTERFET control was established over air and sea points of entry in Dili on 20 September 1999 and an air point of entry in Bacau on 23 September 1999; Phase 2 - Consolidation: this phase occurred in the period September 1999 to January 2000 and involved INTERFET establishing and maintaining control progressively throughout East Timor, including the Oecussi enclave in West Timor and Atauro Island; Phase 3 - Transition: INTERFET objectives were to hand over control of East Timor to UNTAET, having maintained security for three months without a serious incident, set up a border security management system, established an internally displaced persons (IDP) return plan and reduced the risk of militia activity. The transition from INTERFET to UNTAET took place progressively from east to west. Sector East was handed over on 1 February 2000, Sector Central, including Dili, on 14 February 2000, the Oecussi enclave on 15 February 2000 and Sector West on 21 February 2000; Phase 4 - Redeployment: INTERFET formally handed over authority to UNTAET on 23 February 2000 with INTERFET troops either moving to the UNTAET command structure or redeploying to home locations.
