On November 11, 2025, members of the MFO gathered across South Camp and North Camp to commemorate Remembrance Day, Veterans Day, and the fifth anniversary of the 400 Romeo helicopter tragedy. United in purpose, personnel paused to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their nations and in the pursuit of peace.

Visits are a crucial element in understanding the MFO, our mission, and our role in promoting regional peace and stability. These visits foster productive dialogue with our Egyptian and Israeli colleagues, representatives of MFO Troop-Contributing and Donor States, and friends. Importantly, visits also allow diplomatic staff and senior representatives the opportunity to visit their soldiers, sailors and aviators that contribute to the MFO mission.

August 2025 was a vibrant month for the MFO, filled with celebrations that reflected the rich cultural tapestry and shared values of our mission. From historic anniversaries to environmental action and athletic camaraderie, the month showcased the strength of our community and the pride of our contingents.

The MFO speaks with Ms. Neeya Jacob, the Chief of Administration at the MFO Headquarters in Rome, regarding her journey with the organization. 

August was a month of change and new beginnings. MFO Sinai welcomed fresh faces while bidding farewell to those who completed their service. These transitions, though routine, reflect the resilience and continuity that keep our mission strong.

Training within the MFO is designed to build quick responses, refine procedures, and foster team cohesion. This focus was on display during a recent joint exercise between the Aviation Company (AVCO) and Medical Company (MEDCO).

The MFO is no stranger to a fast-paced tempo, and July was a perfect example. 

The MFO Director General, Ms. Elizabeth Dibble, the Force Commander, Major General Michael Garraway (Australia), and a variety of MFO personnel, both military and civilian, were pleased to welcome Ambassadors, Defense Attachés, and key Embassy staff from Egypt and Israel-based Embassies to the MFO’s South Camp.

On International Women’s Day, the MFO celebrates the contributions of women across our organization. Whether in Rome, Cairo, Tel Aviv, or Sinai, our female peacekeepers are essential to our mission. They positively impact how we operate, innovate, and perform.
