CHAPTER 9 Deployment 9.1 : Introduction. asdf The process of deployment begins with the selection of a TCC by the UN, which can supply a fully mission capable battalion for a UN peacekeeping operation and ends when a battalion repatriates to its country of origin. A battalion is considered either an initial entry battalion, which deploys with all equipment, or a rotational battalion that replaces another one already deployed with equipment in place/pre-positioned in the area of operation. To support any TCC, DPKO/OMA has issued generic TCC Guidelines. This document, with inputs from other entities in DPKO and DFS, provides TCCs with information on administrative, logistics and political issues prior to deployment in a field mission. 9.2 : Purpose. This chapter provides the input for the TCC and the battalion commander on what they should know, consider and act on, through the deployment phases following the selection. It consists of predeployment, deployment (including Transfer of Authority), re-deployment and repatriation. 9.3 : Deployment Timeline. When selected, a deployment timeline is established and agreed through consultations between TCC and UN. The timeline is crucial, deploying the capabilities in concert with the operational needs. The timeline is closely monitored by DPKO and DFS. 9.4 : Predeployment. 9.4.1 : TCC Force Generation. A UN Infantry Battalion is configured and generated by the TCC in accordance with the SUR. It is envisaged that a TCC may generate the unit based on the following three primary configurations: • Priority I. An organic Infantry Battalion with additional non-organic elements. 159
160 United Nations Infantry Battalion Manual • Priority II. A mix of infantry subordinate units from several infantry units with additional non-organic elements. • Priority III. An organic arm unit (non-infantry) with a mix of infantry personnel and other non-organic elements. Considering the operational challenges and situational requirements, it is preferable to provide a cohesive, infantry based peacekeeping battalion. It is pertinent to note that the requirement projected through SUR is based on the premise that the TCCs will provide an organic infantry battalion duly augmented with additional elements as given in Priority I. Provision of a composite battalion (as given in Priority II and III) should be resorted to only in unavoidable circumstances. 9.4.2 : Self-Sustainment and Reimbursement. The Contingent Owned Equipment (COE) system was created to support TCCs that deploy units that can provide and maintain their own equipment, and be fully self sustaining in all of the categories explained in the COE manual. Rates are approved by the General Assembly to reimburse TCCs monthly for equipment and personnel. 9.4.3 : TCC Reconnaissance (recce) and Final Equipment List. When there is mutual agreement between the UN and the TCC on units to be deployed, in accordance with the SUR, a TCC recce to the mission area will be authorized and coordinated accordingly. A Policy Directive and an SOP on the subject explains the procedure to be followed in a TCC recce. It is expected that the TCC will initially bear the cost and be reimbursed by the UN, following deployment. A recce report should be agreed by both the field mission and the TCC. The field mission then submits the mutually agreed recce report to DPKO, which is followed by submission of the final equipment list by the TCC. DFS- MCMS will use the final equipment list as the basis of the draft MOU which will be negotiated at the UN HQ. Once a TCC military capability is deployed, there is no reimbursement by the UN for a subsequent relieving infantry battalion recce. It is strongly advised that every rotation is supported by a recce, giving the Battalion Commander the best pre-conditions possible. 9.4.4 : Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Negotiation Process. The MOU Negotiation process begins after the Office of Military Affairs identifies a TCC, which has agreed to deploy its unit to a UN peacekeeping mission. These negotiations are conducted by a team from the TCC and concerned UN HQ staff from various departments and offices consisting of the experts in the field of Force Generation, the Logistics Support the DFS Field Budget
