In addition, defence personnel who served in East Timor after 19 September 1999 as part of an operation, which has been declared as warlike service by signed Instrument, are also eligible for a service pension. ADF personnel must be allotted to and serve in East Timor, not simply be allotted to an operation because they may have served only in Darwin or Townsville.
