Yes and No
See following slides

3. CTF & UN Agencies/IOs/NGOs RFA –RFI Information Sharing
RFA Database
Initial Crisis Response period – 4 to 8 wks
Database will be helpful during crisis
Following the initial crisis period beyond 8 wks
Database will be less helpful because capabilities will be built-up for IOs and NGOs and therefore less need for Military support.
Day to Day prior deliberate planning
Database can be use for broad planning for crisis response situations.

4. Major Insight gains Insights Actions
It not about “who is in control” but rather “who has the capability to do something.”
“Co-ordination is required “ vs “Trying to manage IOs/NGOs” should be the proper Military planning perspective.
Exchange of key information and CONOPS (what organisation is responsible for what sector?) is the foundation
Actions
Developed a draft Information Sharing Matrix which addresses key co-ordination questions and information sharing items for the MNF SOP.
Military Units should respect the roles and mission of IOs/NGOs in CTF planning and “work with” them to leverage their expertise and capabilities to achieve operational end state.
The number one action that a CTF Commander can take to improve IOs/NGOs co-ordination is the deployment of liaison and planning team to major IOs/NGOs within Theatre.
