Advantages Disadvantages

COA 1 (Parallel Country TFs)

COA 1 ADVANTAGES / DISADVANTAGES

• Dedicated CT and SOF TFs

• Dedicated TF HQs in each country projects impartiality

• Emergency HA/DR available by 15 NOV 03

• Potential cross border incidents

• Possible duplication of effort due to multiple HA/DR organizations

• Potential fratricide btwn TF A, TF B, and TF CT if communications break down

Mitigating Factors

–Strong control and coordination between TF A and TF B –Coordination measures to eliminate duplication of effort (CCC, CJCCC, Etc)–Establish clear coordination lines

COA 1 RISKS

• Potential fratricide between TF A, TF B, and TF CT– Mitigation: Establish clear coordination lines

• Potential for Buffer Zone cross border incidents – Mitigation: Strong control and coordination between TF

A and TF B

• Multiple HA/DR organizations within CTF– Mitigation: Coordination measures to eliminate

duplication of effort
