Deployment<br />

In case, <strong>the</strong> Contingent wants to leave behind camp equipment it installed<br />

at a cost, and wishes to sell it to <strong>the</strong> UN, <strong>the</strong> negotiation will take place<br />

between <strong>the</strong> DMS and <strong>the</strong> representative designated by <strong>the</strong> Government.<br />

Likewise, selling unmovable infrastructure equipment to <strong>the</strong> relieving<br />

contingent (if it is contributed by a different TCC) stems from a bilateral<br />

agreement to be negotiated between both TCCs representatives.<br />

Donating or selling COE to <strong>the</strong> host Government is a bilateral operation<br />

to be negotiated between <strong>the</strong> host Government and <strong>the</strong> TCC designated<br />

representatives. In any case, <strong>the</strong> Contingent Commander will take special<br />

care to ensure that waste management and any de-pollution operations<br />

are completed before <strong>the</strong> departure of <strong>the</strong> contingent.<br />
