This declaration officially categorises service on Operation Jural as \"warlike.\"\n\n**Who qualifies:** Australian Defence Force members who served:\n- In Iraq\n- As a member officially allotted to **Operation Jural** (Australia's contribution to enforcing post-Gulf War no-fly zones)\n- Between **30 June 1991 and 12 January 2003**\n\n**Why this matters:** Without this declaration, personnel who flew dangerous missions over Iraq during this 12-year period would not have access to the home loan benefits that recognise the risks of warlike operations. This effectively gives retrospective recognition to service that occurred between the 1991 Gulf War and the 2003 Iraq War."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/warlike-service-operation-jural-declaration-2007","history":"/api/acts/warlike-service-operation-jural-declaration-2007/history","analysis":"/api/acts/warlike-service-operation-jural-declaration-2007/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/warlike-service-operation-jural-declaration-2007/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/warlike-service-operation-jural-declaration-2007/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/warlike-service-operation-jural-declaration-2007/documents"}}
