Description
Aerial view of Camp RAMSI, principal military and police base for the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). The camp is seen from a UH-1H ‘Huey’ Iroquois helicopter, transporting Australian troops deployed to the Solomon Islands under Operation Anode. Camp RAMSI was established at the former Guadalcanal Beach Resort, 10km east of Honiara, and 2km from the RAMSI Air Point of Departure at Honiara International Airport, formerly Henderson Field (partly visible in the middle background). It housed members of the multi-national RAMSI Participating Police Force (PPF), Australian, Tongan and Papua New Guinean infantry, and support forces, including a field hospital.
