Before doing anything, it's worth reading up on the WWII experiences of the Australians in PNG, in particular the Kokoda campaign. The terrain is absolutely ABYSMAL and without air support nearly impossible to operate in.
With the lack of roads in the region, movement by foot is the only option once aircraft, helicopters in particular are out of the picture. Therefore, with the much heavier loads of soldiers in the late 90's compared to 1942, offensive operations are extremely unlikely.
