NZSAS in Iraq

Tom Wells made this Official Information request to New Zealand Defence Force

The request was refused by New Zealand Defence Force.

From: Tom Wells

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.

Referencing this document, Pages 1 and 2:
