InterFET was the first international military campaign led by Australia since WW2, and its largest deployment since Vietnam. It also marked a crucial moment in East Timor's transition to independence. Yet there is no significant scholarly research on the troops who served, nor has there been any substantive scholarly analysis of the InterFET deployment itself. The central aim of this project is thus to investigate the latter by means of the former. It aims to provide a substantive scholarly analysis of InterFET primarily through means of an oral history of participants. The project endeavours to dramatically enhance Australian and international understanding of this seminal event and what it signified in military, political, social and personal terms.

InterFET是自二战以来澳大利亚领导的第一次国际军事行动，也是自越南以来最大的部署。它也标志着东帝汶向独立过渡的一个关键时刻。然而，对服役的部队没有进行重大的学术研究，对东帝汶国际部队的部署本身也没有进行任何实质性的学术分析。因此，本项目的中心目标是通过前者来研究后者。其目的是主要通过参与者的口述历史对东帝汶国际部队进行实质性的学术分析。该项目致力于极大地提高澳大利亚和国际社会对这一重大事件及其在军事、政治、社会和个人方面的意义的理解。
