  18. COA 1 STATEMENTMAE SAI CTF will supplement and enhance existing military and civil infrastructure in the COA by dividing into 3 CTGs (N, S, & E) that are geographically distributed and correspond with RTA military circle HQs. A Logistics Task Force (LTF) will provide medical support, supplies, transportation, engineering, contracting, and services to the CTF. CTG North is the main effort. Priority of support goes to CTG’s North, South, and East in order. We are accepting risk in smaller camps by providing priority to larger camps.

  32. COA 1 - ADVANTAGES • CTF HQ collocated with UN HA/DR Cell in Chiang Mai, facilitating coordination and transition to RTG upon completion of mission • Regional CTG structure uses existing C3 networks and provides redundancy • Retains MNF integrity by assigning country assets to the same CTG • Contracts remain in place when MNF departs, supporting a seamless transition to RTG when CTF departs • Logistics concept facilitates most efficient allocation/prioritization of limited support assets • Medical units deployed early to DP camps, with additional medical capability in reserve • Thai BPP & RTA Rangers secure the border

  33. COA 1 - DISADVANTAGES • By allocating MNF assets to all three CTGs and the LTF, there is a risk of diluting the effectiveness of the CTF • Underutilization of naval assets
