a. ( ) General. United Nations Security Counsel Resolution 1027, acting under the authority of Chapter VII, has authorized member states to "use all necessary means to establish as soon as possible a secure environment for humanitarian relief operations in Growmalia-Hertzebalina."

(1) ( ) Higher headquarters ROE. The Multinational United Task Force (MUTF) ROE have been approved by the North Atlantic Council (NAC) as well as by the UN, and several nations influenced the final wording and emphasis of these high-level rules. Because the UNITAF Commander is also the Commander of the Joint Task Force (JTF) and XXX Marine Expeditionary Force (XXX MEF) [TF XX's immediate higher headquarters, which has planned the operation under the direction of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the UNITAF ROE bear a close resemblance to the CENTCOM Standing ROE (SROE). The UNITAF ROE are completely compatible withe the RAMP/ROECONs/ROE Annex structure that TF XX uses.
