UNCLASSIFIED 3 Scenario: UN mandated coalition peace operations with significant Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief (HA/DR) operations requirements and transition planning from a multinational CTF to a UNPKF Review of Lessons Learned with UN / IOs / NGOs from the Indian Ocean Tsunami Relief effort MPAT TE-8 Overview

4. UNCLASSIFIED 4 TE-8 will be conducted in three phases: Phase I - Academic Instruction Coalition Crisis Action Planning UN Mission Planning UN agency / IO / NGO Information Briefs Phase II – Coalition Peace Operations Practical Crisis Action Planning HA/DR Planning and Coordination Phase III – UN Peacekeeping Transition Planning Practical Transition Planning (CTF to UNPKF) MNF SOP Ch C-5 Annex F (Transition) Review MPAT TE-8 Overview

5. UNCLASSIFIED 5 Phases II & III will each be conducted in two “tracks” (or groups) Phase II CTF Crisis Action Planning Phase III CTF to UNPKF Transition Planning Track I C3 FOPS: Contingency Branch Planning C5 Plans: COA Development Deliverables: CONOPS Briefs C5 Plans: Practical Transition Planning Deliverables: Transition Brief Track II CCC: Civil-Military Coord HA/DR Planning Interagency Processes Deliverables: TBD MNF SOP Work Group: Chapter Ch5 Annex F Transition Planning change recommendations Other SOP change recommendations (i.e., tsunami lessons learned, etc.) Deliverables: Reviewed/Recommended Changes

6. UNCLASSIFIED 6 MPAT TE-8 Intent Intent for TE 8 is to: Support MPAT Program Goals of Improving Multinational: - Speed of Response - Interoperability - Efficiency - Unity of Effort Improve MNF to UN coordination processes Improve Civil-Military Coordination processes Bottom line: TE-8 will be a “Staff Planning Workshop” addressing the issues of multinational, UN / IO / NGO, and Interagency Coordination

7. UNCLASSIFIED 7 Academic Phase Goals / Objectives: Legal authorities for the conduct of peace operations - UN - Coalition Legal Authorities for the conduct of HA/DR Operations Coalition Crisis Action Planning - Knowledge of the international response system - MPAT and MNF SOP Transition planning and end state identification - Performance metrics - Coordination mechanisms - Reporting UN Mission Planning - Knowledge of UN training guidelines - Familiarity with the Integrated Mission Planning Process (IMPP) (incorporating Principles, Variables, and Political-Military Planning of PO) - Force Generation - Key UN Planning Documents UN Agency / IO / NGO / Information Briefs - Roles and functions of UN Agencies and Humanitarian Community TE-8 Phase I Goals & Objectives

8. UNCLASSIFIED 8 CTF Peace OPS Phase Goals / Objectives Practice CTF HQ procedures contained in MNF SOP & conduct crisis action planning Understand the role of the military in UN mandated Peace Operations Recognize the different Peace Operations Variables (impartiality, consent, and force) and their use in PEO vs. PKO Integrate the principles of peace operations (e.g., Unity of effort, restraint et al…) into the CTF courses of action Appropriate political military planning (e.g., diplomatic tasks, humanitarian assistance tasks, public security/law and order et al…) is integrated into the CTF courses of action TE-8 Phase II Goals & Objectives

9. UNCLASSIFIED 9 Practice / develop key concepts that evolved during Operation Unified Assistance and Indian Ocean Tsunami Disaster Relief Workshop in regards to coordinating with the UN, UN Agencies, and the Humanitarian Community: Develop / practice the appropriate mechanism(s) and procedures to maximize unity of effort among military players when there is no overarching explicitly organized coalition at the operational level Develop / practice the appropriate mecahnism(s) to provide interface for humanitarian community at the operational level Determine best way to integrate humanitarian assessment requirements into MNF requirements / tasks Plan for the appropriate “engagement” and “disengagement” of various militaries efforts that are supporting the affected government and regional/international relief agencies TE-8 Phase II Goals & Objectives

10. UNCLASSIFIED 10 Transition Planning Phase Goals / Objectives Integration of UN DPKO and/or UNPKF planners into CTF transition planning Increase knowledge of UN planning (IMPP, Force generation, etc.) Plan operational tasks for mission hand-off Coordination with Humanitarian Community for CTF transition planning Develop Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs) for transition to UNPKF Other CTF transition activities, e.g., plan for Reception, Staging, Onward Movement, and Integration of the UNPKF while possibly simultaneously or incrementally redeploying CTF forces Determine CTF support to UNPKF, if required TE-8 Phase III Goals & Objectives

11. UNCLASSIFIED 11 Other: Refine requirements for collaboration tools and network / computer-based information management systems Provide input to harmonize the MNF SOP with the UN SOP and the UN Integrated Mission Planning Process (IMPP) for UNPKF missions Build MPAT cadre teamwork (personal & professional relationships) Improve multinational interoperability and cooperation through continued habitual relationships TE-8 Phase III Goals & Objectives

12. UNCLASSIFIED 12 Robust issues require CTF to conduct PO as well as actual HA / DR and support to HA/DR missions - Multinational Force (MNF) consists of participating MPAT Nations - Confusion / duplication / omission of critical information needed for HA/DR operations (lack of adequate and timely assessments) Need for a coordination mechanism to interact with multinational partners and humanitarian community to deconflict CTF operations Large humanitarian community need for security, transportation, information Demands for proper humanitarian assistance/support transition / disengagement plan Plan to transition to follow-on UNPKF Utilize web based tools TE-8 Scenario
