Camp RAMSI, located at the former Guadalcanal Beach Resort near Honiara, was the main operational base for the police and military forces of the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). The new field hospital, which had opened that day, was constructed by members of 3rd Combat Engineer Regiment (3CER). It replaced HMAS Manoora as the primary online medical treatment facility for Operation Anode, Australia’s military contribution to RAMSI. It also provided medical treatment to locals and to RAMSI personnel.
