This classification affects what compensation, pension, and health care benefits veterans can access if they are injured or become ill due to their service. By declaring this operation as \"non-warlike,\" the government ensures that personnel who served in Jordan receive the appropriate level of support and entitlements, which are more generous than peacetime service but different from warlike service.\n\n**Who is covered:**\nADF members who served in Jordan or its airspace during Operation Augury from 4 July 2014 onwards."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-non-warlike-service-operation-augury-determination-2015","history":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-non-warlike-service-operation-augury-determination-2015/history","analysis":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-non-warlike-service-operation-augury-determination-2015/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-non-warlike-service-operation-augury-determination-2015/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-non-warlike-service-operation-augury-determination-2015/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/veterans-entitlements-non-warlike-service-operation-augury-determination-2015/documents"}}
