This ensures eligible personnel receive appropriate compensation and support for their deployment during this period.\n\n**Key details:**\n* **Who is covered:** ADF members allotted for service during the specified dates\n* **Where:** East Timor and its territorial sea\n* **Replaces:** An earlier determination from February 2000 that covered the same operation"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-warlike-service-operation-tanager-01-04-2004","history":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-warlike-service-operation-tanager-01-04-2004/history","analysis":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-warlike-service-operation-tanager-01-04-2004/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-warlike-service-operation-tanager-01-04-2004/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-warlike-service-operation-tanager-01-04-2004/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-act-1986-determination-of-warlike-service-operation-tanager-01-04-2004/documents"}}
