  • Australia provides 1,500 troops
  • Present casualties as of 2011 29 dead and many wounded.
  • Major Battles by Australia- Battle of Chora

There are however many smaller peace-keeping missions which have stirred small conflicts but arent known about much.

I hope this was what you were looking for!!
