The three-month rotation plan allows key staff, headquarters and Force operations, security and administrative functions to achieve a higher than normal level of continuity during the transition of personnel to and from the MFO. The Contingent is split equally in number and Force employment areas to ensure the widest level of continuity and a lowest possible disruption to individual branches and employment areas.

The Australian contingent members fill a variety of key appointments within almost every branch of the MFO Force Headquarters, as follows:

The Force Chief Clerk (Warrant Officer Class Two), the Force Military Police Unit Clerk (Corporal) and the Force Distribution and Reproduction Center Clerk (Corporal) all work within the Force Distribution Center.
