Following the battalion 's return from East Timor it was again restructured to resume its role as a two-company commando battalion . However , in 2001 the Australian Government directed the permanent establishment of a second TAG to be based on the east coast of Australia . The TAG is supplemented by clearance divers from the Navy Clearance Diving Branch who form the Water troop . A Company was subsequently raised as a commando company in 2002 . Following the creation of SOCOMD in 2002 and the Bali bombings in October that year , further resources became available . The battalion was subsequently involved in security operations for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting ( CHOGM ) in Queensland in 2002 . Elements of the battalion were also involved in the boarding of a North Korean freighter , the MV '' Pong Su '' — which was suspected of drug smuggling — off Newcastle on 20 April 2003 . In 2005 , a fourth commando company was subsequently raised , with D Company being formed . Later , the battalion was tasked with supporting the security arrangements for the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne . In 2014 , elements of the regiment were deployed to Brisbane to protect the G20 Leaders Summit held in the city on 15 and 16 November
