Merauke Force was an Australian-led military force of World War II which was responsible for defending Merauke in Dutch New Guinea from Japanese attack amidst the Pacific War. The force was established in late 1942 and was disbanded at the end of the war, having never seen combat. The Japanese attack did not eventuate and from mid-1944 the force was progressively drawn down and its assigned units redeployed to Australia or elsewhere in the Pacific. At its height, Merauke Force included troops from Australia, the Netherlands East Indies and the United States, as well as several squadrons of aircraft, including a joint Australian-Dutch fighter unit.

  • Pasukan Merauke adalah kekuatan militer Perang Dunia II bentukan Australia yang bertanggung jawab untuk mempertahankan Merauke di Nugini Belanda dari serangan Jepang di tengah Perang Pasifik. Pasukan tersebut didirikan pada akhir tahun 1942 dan dibubarkan pada akhir perang, karena tidak pernah mengalami pertempuran. Serangan Jepang tidak terjadi dan sejak pertengahan tahun 1944 pasukan tersebut secara bertahap ditarik dan unit-unit yang ditugaskan dipindahkan ke Australia atau tempat lain di Pasifik. Pada puncaknya, Pasukan Merauke terdiri dari pasukan Australia, Hindia Belanda, dan Amerika Serikat, serta beberapa skuadron pesawat, termasuk unit tempur gabungan Australia-Belanda. (in)
