NATO’s continuing support to the African Union’s peacekeeping mission in Darfur has become more diverse as NATO offers capacity building training as well as logistical support to the African Union.
NATO’s continuing support to the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) has become more diverse as NATO offers capacity building training as well as logistical support to the African Union.
NATO’s logistical support to AMIS in the form of the coordination of strategic airlift began in July. Since then NATO has transported approximately 2800 AU troops including 49 members of the civilian police force. These airlift missions are a blend of efforts by NATO and the European Union to create a combined endeavour to promote peace in the Darfur region.
In addition to the airlift missions, NATO is also providing Staff Capacity Building workshops for the African Union’s officers within the Deployed Integrated Task Force (DITF) Headquarters in Ethiopia. The training is based on strategic level planning and focuses on technologies and techniques to create an overall analysis and understanding of Darfur and to identify the areas by which the application of AU assets can influence and shape the operating environment to deter crises.
The training covering command and control procedures, reporting systems, battle rhythm, intelligence collection and analysis, force generation, situational awareness and task force and headquarters standard operating procedures refinement began on 1 August. At their request, the AU officers are also receiving informational briefs on NATO’s experiences with the NATO Response Force concept, and deployed operations in Afghanistan.
In a separate activity, NATO also provided 14 officers in support of a United Nations (UN) organized MAP Exercise for the AMIS Force Headquarters in Sudan. In this exercise, NATO has provided exercise writers and tactical-level controllers. The MAP Exercise ran from August 21 until 27.
In May NATO’s North Atlantic Council (NAC) agreed that the Alliance could support the AU mission by providing strategic airlift and training, especially in the areas of command and control and operational planning.
