The soldiers were caught drinking alcohol while on a trip to Dubai City last week.
The soldiers, from Mentoring Task Force – Three, then returned to Tarin Kowt where they faced disciplinary action.
They were found guilty and had convictions and punishment imposed under the Defence Force Discipline Act .
They arrived home yesterday.
An ADF media release said the soldiers had been “well briefed” on a no drinking policy.
“The unauthorised consumption of alcohol in the Middle East Area of Operations is not permitted by deployed ADF personnel,” it said.
“Defence does not tolerate unauthorised alcohol consumption by deployed personnel and those found in breach of this policy can face disciplinary and administrative action.
“Defence must also take into account its relationship with our host country and their expectations of the ADF's standards of behaviour.”
