Some History

Back in 1987 when Fiji had its first military coup the then government wanted to deploy troops to Fiji, however as it panned out, the need was not needed anymore. However it was advised that New Zealand could not deploy and self-sustain the deployment, we could deploy the NZSAS and secure what region however we had no backup for the troops on the ground and could not deploy our main force and keep the supply routes to them open.
