mission support<br />
is to be established by <strong>the</strong> troop/police contributors and not linked to<br />
existing <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> communication systems.<br />
• Unique Equipment. Any special minor equipment or consumables not<br />
covered in <strong>the</strong> above self-sustainment rates will be handled as unique<br />
equipment. These items will be handled on bilateral special case arrangements<br />
between <strong>the</strong> troop/police contributor and <strong>the</strong> UN.<br />
Note: For more details on <strong>the</strong> verification and performance stand ards for minor<br />
equipment and consumables provided for each self-sustainment category, refer to<br />
<strong>the</strong> COE <strong>Manual</strong>, Chapter 3, Annex B.<br />
7.4.3 : Engineering Support.<br />
• Deployment. Deployment discussions may resolve that a military engineer<br />
company will deploy in lieu of one <strong>Infantry</strong> Company for an agreed<br />
period. This deployment would occur to allow <strong>the</strong> TCC to establish <strong>the</strong><br />
battalion’s infrastructure facilities. An environmental baseline survey<br />
needs to be undertaken for each location to ensure that <strong>the</strong>se are in<br />
accordance with <strong>the</strong> mission environmental objectives (refer Chapter 2,<br />
Section 2.23, Environment, for more information).<br />
• As per <strong>the</strong> Global Field Support Strategy, <strong>the</strong> UN is to establish a wastewater<br />
collection/disposal system and solid waste management programme<br />
at all troop deployment sites. It is important that contingents observe<br />
practices in accordance with <strong>the</strong> mission environmental objectives. For<br />
example, <strong>the</strong> segregation of waste (including hazardous waste) has to<br />
be undertaken for recycling and/or proper disposal in accordance with<br />
mission guidance, not using open burn pits and treatment of wastewater<br />
prior to discharge into <strong>the</strong> nature.<br />
• The engineer company would be in direct support of <strong>the</strong> infantry battalion<br />
and may be deployed during <strong>the</strong> start-up phase of a mission for<br />
<strong>the</strong> following reasons:<br />
In case a particular mission does not have <strong>the</strong> full capacity to undertake<br />
required engineering tasks and additional support is agreed.<br />
When <strong>the</strong> battalion is establishing a new base or bases and additional<br />
engineer support is required.<br />
After completing its assigned tasks and as per <strong>the</strong> mission plan, <strong>the</strong> engineer<br />
company would be replaced by <strong>the</strong> TCC with one infantry or one<br />
motorized company.<br />
• <strong>Battalion</strong> Engineering Requirements. <strong>Battalion</strong> engineering requirements<br />
are initially to be managed within battalion resources. Require-<br />
