Singapore Joint Staff Warning Order Intelligence Guidance Ensure thorough handoff of collection efforts from UNMOG Work closely with local civil administration, in particular police forces, and civil affairs/civil military operations personnel to obtain information on increased level of hostile actions between opposing factions Develop processes to pass actionable intelligence on possible terrorist activities to proper civil authorities While Singapore Joint Staff expects Samagaland and South Tindoro senior commanders to be somewhat transparent on their overall forces disposition and intentions, there is significant danger from lower level units, terrorists, and disgruntled civilian factions. These elements have precipitated actions resulting in death, destruction, and the disruption of humanitarian relief efforts. Hence, the importance of ensuring a thorough handoff of collection efforts and points of contact developed by the UNMOG. CTF must work closely with local civil administration, police, and Samagaland and South Tindoro forces to obtain information on activities that could jeopardize the CTF mission. The CTF will not plan nor execute counter-terrorist actions. However, given its mission and anticipated interaction with various elements of North and South Tindoro society, CTF personnel will be in a position to obtain information that can be reviewed and passed on to host nation civil authorities so they can take appropriate action.

Singapore Joint Staff Warning Order Civil Affairs Guidance Establish liaison and dialogue with local civil administration authorities Establish effective communication and coordination with civil agencies, NGOs, IOs Support Information Operations through media and other channels Plan for protection of NGO/IO personnel and equipment Develop plans to accumulate and transmit information on possible terrorist activities obtained in the course of facilitating HA and return of DPs Facilitating HA relief and the return of DPs are essential tasks for the CTF. The guidance indicated here is important for both civil affairs personnel and all CTF forces engaged in these tasks. Civil Affairs personnel are in an excellent position to gather information on possible terrorist activities and must, in conjunction with C2 personnel, develop appropriate information collection and transmission procedures.

Singapore Joint Staff Warning Order Logistic/Transportation Guidance TCCs to self-deploy/redeploy to Area of Operations (AO) TCCs to be self-sustainable for first six months CTF HQ to plan for logistic contingencies support for UN Agencies and NGOs, as required Forces from Troop Contributing Countries must self deploy and redeploy to the AO. Singapore does not have the resources to provide strategic lift. Similarly, forces must be sustainable for the first six months. The CTF should anticipate that not all NGOs/IOs will have sufficient transportation assets to move their people and supplies when needed, and that these organizations will request assistance. The CTF must plan for these contingencies, balancing the need for assets to be used to move CTF forces and supplies with the CTF task to facilitate HA and reintegration of the DPs.
