MTF-2 represented the first time since the 1999 intervention in East Timor that Battalion headquarters, all three rifle companies (B, C and D), and Support Company deployed as a unit. Within Support Company, the mortar platoon, signals platoon and snipers deployed in-role, while reconnaissance and surveillance platoon and anti-armour platoon deployed as infantry rather than as specialist platoons.
MTF-2 symbolized the first instance since the 1999 intervention in East Timor that Battalion headquarters, all three rifle companies (B, C, and D), and Support Company were deployed together as a cohesive unit. Within Support Company, specialized units such as mortar, signals, and sniper platoons functioned in their designated roles, whereas reconnaissance and surveillance platoons and anti-armour platoons served as infantry units rather than specialist platoons.
