Not sure if this was posted but found this recently.
Have not had a chance to review.
Thought it was appropriate since the talk of putting a beefed up UN force or some other force providing security for a Safe Zone.
Any more current doctrine?
A PROPOSAL FOR THE OVERHAUL OF THE UN PEACE OPERATIONS SYSTEM AND FOR THE CREATION OF A UN LEGION
At the heart of the proposed UN standing force would be motorized and light mechanized
infantry battalions and light mechanized and light armored cavalry squadrons. A variety of other combat units, mostly of company size, would complement these.
Units of the Proposed UN Forces Command
Brigade headquarters
Motorized Infantry battalions
Light Mechanized Infantry battalions
Light Cavalry squadrons
Light Armored Cavalry squadrons
Self-propelled Mortar batteries
light 155-mm Artillery batteries (towed)
Light Mechanized Antitank companies
Combat Engineer companies
Air Defense batteries
Armed Scout Helicopter squadrons (18 aircraft each)
Troop Transport Helicopter squadron (24 aircraft)
Signal companies
Field Intelligence companies
Military Police companies
Reconnaissance and Surveillance platoons (3 RPVs each)
Field Security sections
multinational Field Communication and Liaison teams (400 personnel, aggregate)
