These members have undergone a period of service which exposed them to risks above the normal conditions of peace time. The areas and the time period in which they served have been designated as carrying entitlement for Repatriation Benefits.
These areas include - Korea - including the waters contiguous to the coast of Korea for the distance of 185 km seaward.
