Battle of Aidabasalala
The Battle of Aidabasalala (16 October 1999) was a small but hard fought action during the 1999 East Timorese crisis between pro-Indonesian militia, and a small six-man Australian covert reconnaissance patrol from the Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) operating as part of the United Nations-mandated International Force for East Timor (INTERFET). The battle took place near Aidabasalala, from the West Timor border, and saw the Australians repeatedly attacked in a series of fire-fights by a group of more than 20 militia. The SASR patrol had been detected while establishing an observation post and were forced to fight their way to a landing zone, being attacked a further three times over a one-and-a-half hour period, killing a number of their attackers before they were successfully extracted by S-70 Blackhawk helicopter.〔Coulthard-Clark 2001, p. 296.〕
==Prelude==
A six-man Australian covert reconnaissance patrol led by Sergeant Steven Oddy had been operating near Aidabasalala since 13 October 1999, after being tasked with confirming reports of militia sightings in the area. Indeed, intelligence indicated that there was a significant militia presence in the area, and Response Force—INTERFETs strategic reconnaissance force—began planning a raid on the village. Aged 32, Oddy was an experienced patrol commander with more than 12 years service in the SASR. Over the next three days the patrol moved south-west towards their objective, spending a whole day in a village without being detected.〔Horner 2002, p. 506.〕
