The Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force (AN&MEF) was a small volunteer force of approximately 2,000 men, raised in Australia shortly after the outbreak of World War I to seize and destroy German wireless stations in German New Guinea in the south-west Pacific. The German wireless installations were ordered to be destroyed because they were used by Vizeadmiral (Vice Admiral) Maximilian von Spee's East Asia Squadron of the Imperial German Navy, which threatened merchant shipping in the region. Following the capture of German possessions in the region, the AN&MEF provided occupation forces for the duration of the war. New Zealand provided a similar force for the occupation of German Samoa.

  • Die Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force (AN&MEF) war ein aus Freiwilligen zusammengestellter Kampfverband der Australischen Streitkräfte. Der rund 2000 Mann starke Verband wurde kurz nach dem Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges aufgestellt, um die deutsche Kolonie Deutsch-Neuguinea zu besetzen. Insbesondere sollten die strategisch wichtigen Telegrafie-Funkstationen des Ostasiengeschwaders der Kaiserlichen Marine unschädlich gemacht werden. Eine vergleichbare Truppe Neuseelands besetzte etwa zur selben Zeit die Gebiete von Deutsch-Samoa. (de)

En parallèle, la Nouvelle-Zélande fournit une force d'occupation des Samoa allemandes. (fr)
