The Al Muthanna Task Group (AMTG) was a battlegroup that formed Australia's main ground force contribution to the Multinational force in Iraq. The AMTG was established in April 2005 and ceased to exist in July 2006 when the Australian force was relocated to Dhi Qar Governorate as Overwatch Battle Group (West). The AMTG was made up of around 450 personnel and consisted of a headquarters, a cavalry squadron, an infantry company, a training team and supporting elements.
