  1. OPERATION BLUE SINGAAir Operations Maj Paul “Zav” Zavislak, USPACOM J38

  2. Overview • Group member Introductions • Scenario • Purpose • Situation Overview • Guidance • Msn Statement • Peacekeeping Mission/Fundamentals • Peace Operations Capabilities of Airpower • Airpower Planning Considerations • Summary / Air Staff Example

  3. Group Member Introductions • Name • Country • Current Military Position • Military Background / Past Planning Experience

  4. Purpose Why this meeting? Outline broad objectives and planning considerations for Air Operations for OPERATION BLUE SINGA

  5. Situation Overview • Ongoing Peacekeeping situation escalates to a level that exceeds UNMOG mission and capabilities and causes the collapse of the military observer mission • Chief of Military Observers (CMO) recommends deployment of a UN sanctioned Multinational Force (MNF) to contain the situation. Samagaland and S. Tindoro leaders open dialogue to consider CMO’s recommendation and other actions to resolve crisis and agree on Singapore to lead the MNF. • UNSC Resolution 147 sanctions deployment of MNF led by Singapore

  6. Joint Staff Warning Order Guidance • Separation of Factions • Facilitate HA operations • Repatriate Displaced Personnel (DP) • Restore stable conditions • Transition to Host Nation civil/military authorities • Emergency repairs to critical infrastructure • Support NGOs in HA operations • Others

  7. Logistic/Transportation Guidance • Troop Contributing Countries (TCC) to self-deploy/redeploy to Area of Operations (AO) • TCCs to be self-sustainable for first six months • CTF HQ to plan for logistic contingencies support for UN Agencies and NGOs, as required

  8. Joint Staff Warning OrderMission Statement Coalition Task Force GOODWILL will commence deployment of a multinational force no earlier than 28 August 02, to conduct peacekeeping operations in North and South Tindoro, in accordance with UNSCR 147, in order to create conditions necessary for a secure and stable environment in North and South Tindoro.

  9. Peacekeeping Mission • JP 3-07.3 Peacekeeping Ops Definition: Military operations undertaken with the consent of all major parties to a dispute, designed to monitor and facilitate implementation of an agreement and support diplomatic efforts to reach a long-term political settlement.

  10. Firmness Impartiality Clarity of Intention Anticipation Consent Integration Freedom of Movement Peacekeeping Fundamentals

  11. Peace OperationsKey Questions • What are the Military and Civil conditions that define success? • What sequence of action will produce these conditions? • How should military air resources be applied with civil resources to achieve that sequence? • How do we accomplish transition to Host Nation Civil and Military authorities? • Is the risk acceptable?

  12. PeacekeepingAir Capabilities Airlift Intel/Recon/Surveillance Cmd/Ctl/Comm Air Refueling Search and Rescue Air traffic control Medical evacuation Combat air patrol Airspace control Early warning of hostile actions Delivery of Humanitarian aid Deterrence of hostile actions Force Protection Logistics Resupply Ref JP 3-07.3 pg II-6 Feb 1999

  13. Air Planning Considerations • How does Geography favor/affect air ops? • What is the area the CTF is required to support? • Capabilities required to support assigned tasks? • What are my assets and what can they do? • What are the resource shortfalls? • How can we use speed/flexibility/range of airpower effectively? • Force protection at airfields? • Mx available?

  14. Air Planning Considerations • What are the Host Nation infrastructure capabilities/requirements? • Airports/rail/highway/ • Communications • Labor etc • What type of NGO/IO support is available? • What military support / forces are available? • What Host Nation/contractor support is available/required? • What type of Civil Military coordination mechanisms must we support?

  15. Air Planning Considerations • Aircraft availability # and type • Airport suitability C-5/etc • Tonnage and people per day capability req/avail • Infrastructure support • Loaders/unloaders • Maximum aircraft on-ground capability at airports • Mission capable rates and wx taken into effect? • Which COA’s supportable w/air assets avail • What other questions should we be looking into

  16. Air Planning Summary • What do we already have? • What is the shortfall? • What RFI/RFF do we need to request? • Ex. What is my Strategic/Inter-theater and Tactical/Intra-theater total lift capability in short tons/day etc. based on 80% MC rate?

  17. AIR FUNCTIONAL GROUP STAFF ESTIMATE EXAMPLE

  18. Needs Supplies Need Water 2400 ST Food 372 ST Medical 16 ST Total 2851 ST

  19. Estimated Best Mix Supplies Need Air Capacity Other Source Water 2400 ST 10% 90% Food 372 ST 50% 50% Medical 16 ST 20% 80% Total 2851 ST

  20. Needs / Capacity Supplies Need Air Capacity Other Source Water 2400 ST 240 ST 2160 ST Food 372 ST 186 ST 372 ST Medical 79 ST16 ST63 ST Totals 2851 ST 442 ST 2409 ST This accounts for: 60% of available air lift 10 % of available sea lift (10 hours from ROK to ROP)

  21. Planning Factors & Assumptions Marines keep OPCON / TACON of their helos ACC has OPCON of all other helos - ACC initially keeps TACON of heavy lift helos - LCCs get TACON of light helos Can support dirt strip operations - 60% of aircraft available on C day 100% Fixed wing lift capacity = 198 pallets / day - Capacity based on 60% sustained per day: - 121 pallets per day or ~442 ST / day) 115 pallets of supplies will be available per day

  22. Phase I Establish ACC HQ – Air Mobility Control Center Prepare Kimhae APOD for CTF operations - Support for CTF 24 hour ops

  23. Phase II Seize initiative by intra-theater airlift to forward areas (assessment teams / emergency relief) Prepare dirt strips on Parang Do, assist in opening airports on Cheju-Do and Parang Do for sustained operations - 24 hour/inclement weather operations

  24. Phase III Distribute HA / DR within AO in accordance with CCTF requirements - Apportion air assets appropriately

  25. Phase IV Transition APOD to APOE - Single APOE could restrict our redeployment • Will coordinate for additional APOEs on Parang Do and Cheju Do Support movement to APOE Release air assets as requirements diminish Disestablish APOE(s) and handover to ROK(ROP) Redeploy remaining assets

  26. Conclusions The Air Component can support this COA In its entirety.
