Operation Render Safe

Operation Render Safe contributes to collective regional security through the safe disposal of explosive remnants of war, as well as providing education and training to enhance the security capabilities of our Pacific partners.

The Operation occurs annually or in response to an urgent request from a Pacific Island nation.

The second iteration of Operation Render Safe in 2024 was held in Solomon Islands in August and September.

This was the largest land based Render Safe with 8 nations partnering to support the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force to remove more than 3,200 World War II-era explosive remnants of war.

Operation Render Safe activities involve extensive community engagement preparation in the months leading up to a mission to educate local populations about safe explosive handling and disposal procedures.
