The Indo-Pacific Endeavour (IPE) 2024, organized by the Australian High Commission, featured a week-long engagement with the Sri Lankan Defence Forces. The Australian delegation was led by the Commander of the Joint Agency Task Force – Operation Sovereign Borders (JATF-OSB), Rear Admiral Brett Sonter, alongside Commodore Michael Harris of the Royal Australian Navy, who served as the Commander of IPE.

As part of this initiative, a four-day knowledge-sharing session on 'Military Law' was conducted for personnel of the SLAF.
