View the After Action Report
The Government of Indonesia, US Pacific Command, the Center of
Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance and
the United Nations Department of Peace Keeping Operations are jointly
sponsoring a five-day seminar-game 8 - 12 April 2002 at the Hotel
Borobudur in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The purpose of the seminar-game is to further develop multilateral,
multifunctional, operational-level peace operations skills, and
through tactical-level vignettes, gain insights into capacity-building
and training requirements in the Asia Pacific Region.
This seminar-game follows closely on a similar event held last
month in Kathmandu, Nepal. Both events are part of the Asia Pacific
Peace Operations Capacity Building Program, an ongoing joint effort
between host countries in the Asia Pacific Region, the United Nations
Department of Peacekeeping and US Pacific Command designed to enhance
the region's capability and capacity to participate in UN mandated
peace operations. The program is administered by the Center of Excellence.
For the Jakarta event, invitations have been made to 29 countries,
including Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Canada, Fiji, France, Great
Britain, India, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Madagascar,
Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan,
Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand,
Tonga, United States, Vanuatu and Vietnam. For countries in the
Southeast Asia region, representation is invited from the humanitarian,
civilian, civilian police and military communities, all critical
sectors to the execution of a successful, integrated peace operation.
The goals of the seminar-game are to:
-
Understand and explore the operational-level issues associated
with entering, conducting and exiting a modern peace operation;
-
Examine capacity-building and training required to optimize
participation in peace operations and to;
-
Enhance national and regional interagency coordination and
cooperation.
Participants will address a fictional, but realistically complicated
UN-mandated peace operation scenario. The table-top game is divided
into three "moves". For the first two moves, working groups
will brief the Special Representative to the Secretary General and
senior mission leadership, role played by seasoned professionals
with real-world mission experience, on their concepts of operation
and plans of action. The final move focuses on the training needed
to properly conduct the simulated mission, with focus on training
needs for Southeast Asia nations who would participate in a UN mission.
