COA 3 Risk Assessment • Phase 1 Predeployment • Risk: Inappropriate forces • Mitigation: Detailed assessment • Risk: Unfavorable media coverage • Mitigation: Positive message projected • Phase 2 Deployment • Risk: Bottleneck of traffic • Mitigation: Maximize use of civilian airports and alternate means of transport • Risk: Wrong aid at wrong place and wrong time • Mitigation: Close coordination with GOT and NGOs
COA 3 Risk Assessment • Phase 3 Conduct HA/DR OPS • Risk: Inadequate force protection • Bandits/criminals threaten CTF forces • Health, nutrition disease. • Mitigation: • Rapid notification to Thai security forces. • Robust medical services and support and open dialogue with NGOs / local red cross/crescent • Phase 4 Transition / Redeployment • Risk: Thai military is not prepared to assume full responsibility for HA / DR effort
COA 3 Risk Assessment • Phase 4 Transition / Redeployment • Mitigation: Determine problem early, notify NCA authority, bolster Thai forces as appropriate. • Risk: NGOs are not able to provide for their own security (e.g. due to riots etc.) • Mitigation: Consider funding effort to provide contract security. Bottom Line: Residual risk of COA 3 is acceptable.
