Deployment 9.5.2 : Transfer of Authority. When national contingents and military observers come under the control of a United Nations designated commander, the transfer of “operational authority’ must be completed immediately. Generally, this transfer action occurs when uniformed personnel and units arrive in a mission area. If required, as dictated by operational necessities, the transfer of authority may be completed at a unit’s home station (before deployment in the area of operations) or at an intermediate staging base. However, the exact timing of the transfer of authority will be decided at the time of negotiations between United Nations and national authorities. Contributing Member States negotiate with UN HQ (DPKO- DFS) the specific date and location that the UN will assume ‘UN Operational Authority’ over their uniformed personnel and units. TCCs are required to confirm, in an official communication to UN HQ (DPKO), when and where the transfer of ‘UN Operational Authority’ over their uniformed personnel units will occur, noting the composition and strength of groups or formed units. When UN ‘Operational Authority’ over uniformed units and personnel is withdrawn from the UN, the contributing Member State is again required to officially inform UN Headquarters (DPKO). The Operational Authority over Military and Police ‘Experts on Mission’, which includes Military Observers and Individual Police Officers/advisers, is considered to be automatically transferred to the UN when a contributed ‘Expert on Mission’ reports to the designated United Nations authority for his/her duties in the operational area of responsibility. The operational authority is reverted back to the respective national authorities on completion of assignment with the United Nations, or at the time of repatriation. 9.5.3 : Hand over. Handing over of responsibility should be carefully planned and coordinated without compromising operational requirements. The considerations and modalities of handing over are described in Vol.II, Chapter 2, Section 2.15, Relief in Place and Reinforcement. 9.6 : Re-deployment. Re-deployment of a UN infantry Battalion may be carried out within a mission area or in adjacent mission area based on the operational requirements. The re-deployment might be temporary or definite. The process is the following: • In-mission planning and consultation, and with adjacent mission when applicable. 163
164 United Nations Infantry Battalion Manual • Force Commander coordinates the requirement with the UNHQ. • Once coordination is finalized OMA will notify the Permanent Mission of the concerned TCC in New York. • Hand over to possible follow-on force and assuming responsibility of the new AOR. In the new AOR, the battalion may move to existing UN compounds, or to entirely new camps. In either case, it is the responsibility of the DMS to ensure preparation of the camps, either before the move or after if the operational requirements demand an immediate deployment, and that logistic support will be organized in a proper manner. The transport of the containers and COE will be organized by the Mission MOVCON and the battalion vehicles will usually move by organized convoys. The movement of the APC’s and other heavier vehicles may be organized differently in order to save on engines hours and maintenance operations. 9. 7 : Repatriation The repatriation of a battalion may occur for a number of reasons. These include, amongst others: • Decision by the Government of the TCC’s to withdraw; • Decision made by the UN Secretariat for either operational or disciplinary reasons, or because the PKO downsizing military component to prepare the transition to a stabilization or a political mission. If the TCC elects to withdraw, the Secretariat receives the notification from the Permanent Mission of the TCC in New York. The Secretariat will then determine if a replacement unit is required and commence generation. Concurrently, it will liaise with the DMS/MOVCON to arrange the repatriation. If the decision to repatriate emanates from the Secretariat, the latter handles the notification to the concerned Government and any subsequent discussion on the technicalities of the repatriation will commence. DMS/ MOVCON will require at least six weeks for being able to put contracts in place for the movement of personnel and cargo back to the home country. Once agreed, the repatriation will follow a time line established by the mission.
