TACTICS, TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES (TTP)
IN SUPPORT OF OPERATIONS OTHER THAN WAR (cont)

DISCUSSION: The nature of a peace enforcement mission demands a high standard of discipline and, in particular, self-discipline. Commanders at all levels must be conscious of this and must give special attention to leading and supervising their soldiers.

LESSON(s):

• A peacekeeping mission is meant to be visible to all concerned.
• The force will be scrutinized by the locals, by possible belligerent forces, and international media.
• The units must reflect vigilance, readiness, and competence in their duties.
• Individuals in isolated observation posts and checkpoints may become bored with the daily routine.
• Innovative leadership and motivation are required to keep up morale, maintain high standards of discipline, and avert boredom during operations.
• Properly and continually brief all personnel to ensure everyone understands the mission, situation, and train on ROE.
• Issue clear, concise, and simple orders.
• Maintain high standards of cleanliness, care, and maintenance of all weapons, equipment, and uniforms.
• Develop and enforce combat standards which address proper uniform, alcohol consumption, and force protection early in the operation.
