CHAPTER 9<br />
Deployment<br />
9.1 : Introduction.<br />
asdf<br />
The process of deployment begins with <strong>the</strong> selection of a TCC by <strong>the</strong> UN,<br />
which can supply a fully mission capable battalion for a UN peacekeeping<br />
operation and ends when a battalion repatriates to its country of origin. A<br />
battalion is considered ei<strong>the</strong>r an initial entry battalion, which deploys with<br />
all equipment, or a rotational battalion that replaces ano<strong>the</strong>r one already<br />
deployed with equipment in place/pre-positioned in <strong>the</strong> area of operation.<br />
To support any TCC, DPKO/OMA has issued generic TCC Guidelines. This<br />
document, with inputs from o<strong>the</strong>r entities in DPKO and DFS, provides TCCs<br />
with information on administrative, logistics and political issues prior to<br />
deployment in a field mission.<br />
9.2 : Purpose.<br />
This chapter provides <strong>the</strong> input for <strong>the</strong> TCC and <strong>the</strong> battalion commander<br />
on what <strong>the</strong>y should know, consider and act on, through <strong>the</strong> deployment<br />
phases following <strong>the</strong> selection. It consists of predeployment, deployment<br />
(including Transfer of Authority), re-deployment and repatriation.<br />
9.3 : Deployment Timeline.<br />
When selected, a deployment timeline is established and agreed through<br />
consultations between TCC and UN. The timeline is crucial, deploying <strong>the</strong><br />
capabilities in concert with <strong>the</strong> operational needs. The timeline is closely<br />
monitored by DPKO and DFS.<br />
9.4 : Predeployment.<br />
9.4.1 : TCC Force Generation. A UN <strong>Infantry</strong> <strong>Battalion</strong> is configured and generated<br />
by <strong>the</strong> TCC in accordance with <strong>the</strong> SUR. It is envisaged that a TCC may<br />
generate <strong>the</strong> unit based on <strong>the</strong> following three primary configurations:<br />
• Priority I. An organic <strong>Infantry</strong> <strong>Battalion</strong> with additional non-organic elements.<br />
