Following admission on 7th May, 1994 h was revi wed by me. Mr . Bably gave a history of having sustained an ·njury while on duty in Somalia about five months ago. He was managed by colleagu sin Mogadishu witbou too much success and be was referred for artbroscopy assessment. Following my clinical ass essment it is clear that Mr. Bably sustained a rupture o the medial meniscus possibly the posterior horn. Unfor una ely, a1thougb we are able to do artbroscopy b we do not have the full compliment of ~quipment to be able to do a pos erior horn meniscal repair. It is possible w th the instruments we have at the moment to do a repair of the anterior cruciate and anterior born men·scus tears. In view of this I have recommended that Mr. Bably b sen to a centre which bas a full compliment of be quipmen required (Cairo or Europe). It is my opinion that a plain ar broscopy of th knee joint will not serve any purpose as t be pat · nt is not keen on a plain (a throtomy) procedure. Thank you for asking us to share in the c are o f his pa en '1ft. s. S, F.Af 4 . D. M . MP • MEMORANDUM To: Office of SRSG Force Commander DOA Chief Humanitarian Officer Chief Political Officer Zone Logistics Office All NGOs All LNOs All Branch Heads ' OC MOVCON ooc Canadian Helicopters LCC From: coo Date: 9 May Subj: LATE NOTIFICATION FOR AIRLIFT REQUESTS 1. UNOSOM av'ation assets require precise timings and close coordination to achieve mission objectives. Of late, ·UJ A'r h s received a large number of late air requests which, as far as possible, have been included on the schedules. The iack of adequate communicat·ons between the tasking agency (03 Air), ooc and the-aircraft contractors reduces the flexibility and responsiveness of the UNOSOM fleet. Continual amendment and late tasking notification confuses the variety of agencies involved in the provision of air support, and may lead to a below standard service. 2. It is also apparent that some personnel still believe that a helicopter 'shuttle' service to the airport and Jaybird still exists. This is"not the case. A road shuttle se vice has been established to fill the shortfall in transport since the cessation of the helicopter shuttle service. Bookings are available through MOVC 3. To alleviate the~e problems, new requests for airlift support, or amendments to previous requests, for the ollowing day will only be accepted up until 1600brs the day prior to the task.

During this latter period, the incidents which have resulted in injury to UNOSOM staff and damage to UN property have generally been the result of personnel and property being caught in the crossfire between warring factions. By contrast, NGO staff have been targeted on a number of occasions as a result of grievances, real or imagined, which Somalis have harbored against these personnel or their parent organizations . Within Mogadishu civilian staff continue to be exposed to attack by bandits when they are travelling by road in the city . Travel within Mogadishu can only be secure if personnel move with proper escorts and on approved routes. Ignoring these basic precautions will continue to result in staff being placed in situations of extreme risk . The activities of the SNA around the South Compound area in late April has demonstrated that UNOSOM civilian and military staff are not being directly targeted, however the possibility of death or injury always exists . The relocation of the bulk of the civilian staff to the Embassy/University Compound will serve to increase the security arrangements for these staff. In outlying areas the threat to UNOSOM civilian and military staff is generally much reduced. However travel unescorted in any areas will expose personnel to risk of attack by bandit elements . Again the situation of staff being unavoidably caught up in clan fighting represents the most significant security threat . In summary the threat to UNOSOM civilian and military staff is minimal, as long as they adhere to the precautions which are laid down by the security forces and avoid areas which are subject to clan fighting. xc I OUTGOING FAX: TO: MAJ G BARIL CMPO ITED ATIO 0 0 IIFHQ EWYORK MOG DISHU (212) 963-4879 (873) 1 1-2473 0 I PAGES: INCLUDING 1HIS: 0 E 1994) our fax 64 dated 2 May 94 •~fer • F ' appro al i h •~by a conled pleas .

OSOM IT Force Structure - Option 2 of 20 January 1994 General 1. The Force Commander 1s concept for the future force structure for UNOSOM II was developed in early 1994 and forwarded to USG For Peace Keepjng under cover of FAX 680 of 20 January 1994. ince this concept was developed, the following significant events have occurred :- a. Security Council Resolution 897 provided for the extension of the mandate of UNOSOM II under Chapter VII with a troop strength of 22,000. b. The withdrawal of the German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Kuwaiti Moroccan, orwegian, Saudi Arabian, Tunisian, Turkey UAE and US contingents has been completed. im 2. The aim of this paper i to provide an update of the Force Commander' concept for UNOSOM II Force Structure in llght of the current mandate and situation in Somalia. This update ha been prepared in re ponse to the requirement to provide input to the Secretary General's next report. sumptions 3. Reference A was based on a number of a umptions which are updated as follows :- a. The present Force strength is 18,883, which is hort of the 22,000 authorized under CR 897. 1 b. The threat to U OSOM remain largely unchanged, however there has been an in rease in interclan and interfaction fighting in Mogadishu Marka, Belet Uen and Kismayo over the recent past. Should the curren political reconciliation process collapse the possibility exists that there could be a return to major fighting between the factions. Regardle of the outcome of the political talks, there will continue to be acts of i olated violence including banditry and kidnapping, against military, civilian, GO and Somali targets. c. The strategic framework remains unchanged, with the proce s of Somali political reconciliation assuming fundamental importance for hope for peace in omalia. The outcome of this political process will dictate the course of events in the immediate future. d. SCR 897 aulhorized the continuation of the mission as a Chapter VII operation. The assumption that there:: will not be a resumption of combat operations, e cept to ensure the safety of the Force and tho e personnel UNOSO is mandated to protect, remains valid. Capabilities 4. Toe capability deficiencie identified in Reference A as a result of the withdrawal of the U Forces have not been mad.e up. The ubstitutes which have been provid d only endow OSOM force with limited capabilities e pecially with regard to air operations. The r connaissance capability is proposed to be provided by the deployment of 5 Kiowa helicopters which ha e yet t arrive in Somalia; the Cobra do not have night fighting capabilitie the utility helicopter being operated by Canadian and Bristow Helicopters have day only capability in safe fly zones and helipads and medevac helos are likewise handicapped. Presently, we are also without a Combat Search and Re cue SCAR) capability. These constraints continue to represent a significant limitation to the capabilities of the Force. In particular the inability to operate recoonais ance attack, utility or medevac helicopter at night is a major concern. Experience has shown that should U OSO be required to 2 ( confront militia force again in Mogadishu the ability to operate effectively at night will be fundamental to the safety of the Force and those it is mandated to protect. 5. The remaining capability shortfalls identified in Reference A, in the area of armoured combat power, logistics and communications have been adequately addres ed, given the continuation of the existing security situation. However, should the ecurity situation deteriorate as a result of a collapse of the political proces the reliance on civil contractors for logistics may result in problems at the time of cri es. orce Structure Bridge 6. Reference A articulated the concept of the Force tructure 11 Bridge'1 which would form the connection between the previou force which wa heavily dependent on high technology combat, combat support and logistic support of the US Forces and a fully matured Force tructure. This concept remains essentially valid although the composition of the Force is maller than originally envi aged and the deployment of contingents has been modified to account for a number of factors. Thi deployment by early May 94 will be as follows :- a. Mogadishu/Medina AORs. Ten infantry battalions plus a tank regiment under Chapter VII. Thi force is tasked as follows :- (1 ) Pakistan Brigade of four battalions (four companies each) and a tank regiment minus one squadron, responsible for AOR Mogadishu. (2) Egyptian Brigade of three battalions (three companies each) responsible for ew Port, irport and Medina AOR. (3) Pak:i tan ank quadron and Mechanised Infantry Company provides Force QRF. ( ) Malay ian Battalion (three companies) responsible for Brown and Root security, K4 strong point and Hunter Base. (5) epa1ese Battalion responsible for security of U OSOM civilian staff. (6) Paki tan Battalion minus one company re ponsible for security of the 3 ::. niversity and Ernba sy Compound . b. Baidoa-Kismayo AOR. The Indian Brigade of four battalions plu a tank squadron and a Botswana Battalion. c. Afgooye AOR. The Bangladesh Battalion. d. Marka AOR. The igerian Battalion. e. Balad OR. he Zimbabwe Battalion rninu a Company. f. Bel et Uen AOR. A Zimbabwe Company. g. Aviation Support. Reconnaissance and attack helicopter squadron, two utility helicopter squadrons including a tactical/operational/strategic air medevac. These aviati n assets are supplemented by a fixed wing fleet for administrative ta ldng. The e aviation resources provide a capability which is barely limited to sustaining the current level of operations. o aircraft currently available to the Force has a night capability. h. Logistic Support. Contingents continue to provide essential logistic support in the areas of transport (Ireland movement control ( ustralia), air traffic control (Au tralia) supply ( ew Zealand) and hospitals (Egypt, Romania and Paki tan) in which surgical capacity are available. Aviation maintenance tank and turret maintenance, and third line maintenance capability for US government fumi bed and lea ed equipment in theater remain problem area . The provision of repair parts and the appropriate ammunition for US lea ed equipment are areas of current concern which require early resolution. Force logistic support is now largely provided through contract which has proven to be a viable means of sustaining a UN coalition Force of this size. 4 7. With the reduction in Force trength below the 22 000 previously envisag d the current force is stretched very thinly. The size of the QRF has been reduced from a battalion to a mechanised company and tank squadr n, and there ha been a nett reduction of one battalion from Mogadishu. The departure of the two battalions (Saudi and UAE) operating under Chapter VI bas meant that the critical role of humanitarian e carts must be shouldered by the remaining contingents by reducing troops from important combat ta ks. A troop presence has been retained in Belet en with one Zimbabwe Company however this company is dependent on re upply by air and can have little influence beyond the immediate area of Belet Uen. Since January 94 seven trong points and check points have been closed in Mogadishu in response to the reduced troop level avai]able and the requirement to relea e sufficient troops to achieve the priority tasks. 8. Should the mandated Force level of 22,000 not be achieved, it will become increasingly difficult to carry out the mission which has been e . An additional battalion is required to enable the important region of the middle bahbelle from Balad to Belet Uen to be brought fuUy back into the O OM area of influence, and to establish more than the current token presence at Belet en. A further battalion is required to enable Force Command to meet it humanitarian convoy escort role. This role demand a force which is organized and equipped to provide long range escorts for humanitarian relief and logi tic convoys from Mogadishu port area into the int r.ior of Somalia. pansion 9. Th original concept of operations for O OM II envisaged the expan ion of the area of military influence to incorporate the central region (Galcayo) and ultimately north ea t and north west omalia. The expansion has been frustrated by the withdrawal of troop contributing nations which has required the remaining Force Command units to be r deployed in Southern Somalia to cover those areas which already fell within U O OM area of military influence. 5 10. Expansion to Bossasso would required the deployment of the minimum of a battalion group with integral combat support and logi tic support. A force which i organized and equipped to undertake this mission does not currently exist in theatre. In addition, th maintenance of this force would require new logistic support arrangements to b created. imilarly ucce sful e pansion to Galcayo would require a minimum of a mechanised battalion group supported by tanks, and integral combat support and logistic upport. Considering the distances involved and poor road conditions it would have to be maintained by air. It is worth recalling that the Indian Brigade of 5,000 troops and the German Logistic upport Group of 1500 were originally organized and deployed to expand the 0 OM area of influence into the central region. Thi quantum of forces is clearly not available to NOSOM at the pre ent time. In short expansion into the GaJcayo and Bossa so regions i not practical given the existing troop levels in SomaHa. upport to Somali Police 11. Force Command continues to support the re-e tabli hment of omali police Force by the provision of instructfon in basic training to omali Police Instructors. In addition support is being provided for the distribution and logistic support of Somali Police vehicles weapons and equipment. The ultimate aim of handing over the UNOSOM security mission to the Police remains valid, however this has yet to be successfully achfoved in any area in omalia. Force Commands capacity to a sist the re-e tablishment of the Somali Police orce i limited to tho e areas of Southern Somalia in which the military operates as well as the i sue of further instructions by Ju tice department under which the omali Force is expected to function. Future Force tructure 12. The original concept envisaged a draw down of the orce to a level of 22,000 by 1 April 1994 and then a sub equent reduction to a level of 16 000 combat troops and 2 500 upport troops which would be achieved by October 94. With a current orce level of 18,883, the Force's ability to acrneve the mandated tasks has become limited. Consequently 6 ------ no further draw down of the force is nece sary for the remainder of 1994. Indeed, to continue to conduct operations within the UNOSOM area of military influence and to meet the full requirements of the current mandate, will require the Force strength to be expanded to 22,000. This should include the addition of a further two battalions, one to be deployed in the Balad - Belet Uen area and the other to be employed for long range logistic and humanitarian e cort duties. This addition in force strength should be supplemented by meeting the capability shortfalls which currently exist in the Force especially with respect to night flying and reconnaissance capability. Failure to meet the mandated force levels will result in a contraction in the area of UNOSOM military influence and a redistribution of forces to ensure that the priority missions of GO protection and humanitarian escorts can be achieved. ummary 13. In summary the UNOS_OM Bridge Force Structure in the immediate pot 1 April 1994 period has proven to be smaller than that provided for by the mandate. The mandated force level of 22,000 must be achieved to ensure that OSOM II can meet it mi ion. Consequently as a minimum , the level of commitment from the existing troop contributing nations must be maintained and further contingents identified to bring the force up to the leveJ required to ensure that Forces Command bas sufficient troops with which to achieve its mi sion within its current area of operations. Expansion of the area of operations could only be achieved by the addition of ubstantially more troops and logistic support than the existing mandate would eem to allow. 7 bU~4tiu I; 'ff ;;J UNITED NATIONS NATIONS UNJES FIELD OPERATIONS DMSION "UNOSOH REft_E)VEO .. ;=AY:.

On my way back, I was riding on the back eat of a white toyota c rolla belonging to the Eth.i pian envoy to omalia. We passed the Paki tani checkpoint on fgoi road drove east for around 200 meters and parked on the north side walk of Afgoi road our car still facing east. I was still on the back seat of the car when I heard a shot and a bullet hit the pavement nearby. I saw people running for cover and shouting repeatedly "Pakistani are hooting". Immediately after a bullet from the second shot hit the back of my left arm near the elbow came out through the front side and hit the right hand side corner of th driver's eat. After I was hit, I run out for a cover but there were no m re shots. Source of Shooting: Before the b ting th area wa very calm and people were doing their normal bu in s. There were no crowds and I did not ee any people carrying guns around the area. The ource of the bot that hit me are without doubt, the Pakistani oldiers becau f the following reas ns. 1) There ar ten of bystanders who are ready to testify that the sh ts came from the Pakistani elevated guard post on Afgoi road situated facing the rear of our vehicle. 2. The angle the bullet hit the rear window and its course thereafter clearly indicate that it was hot from a high post and not from a ground same level as the car. 3) After the first shot, all people were running away or in the opposite direction from th Pakistani post for cover. After the Incident: 1) At 14:45 h urs, [ went to Benadir Hospital across the street oa emergency. 2) After about an h ur I went to the SRSG office in the US Emb compound to report the incident in person. 3) At about 16:00 hours the ecretary of the SRSG t k me the Swedi h ield Hospital for medical as istance. 4) Two wee later I was admitted to ~~~rdt1~ ital or further operati ns on my arm. • I p . , .,. \ Purpose of This Information: ..

GENERAL SITUATI ON : A. THE OVERALL SITUATION IN SOMALIA IS STABLE. ~OGADISHU REMAINS AT SECURITY CONDITIO RED AND UNSTABLE DUE TO CONTINUED TENSION AND CONTINUED MILITIA ACTIVITY DIRECTED AGAINST UNOSOM II FORCES BY USC/S A FORCES. FACTIONAL FIGHTING BETWEEN USC/SNA FORCES AND THE ALI MAHDI 12 FACTIO S HAS DECREASED. THERE IS m, 0 LY SPORADIC VIOLENCE IN ISOLATED AREAS. AIDEED HAS STOPPED USC/SNA FORCES FROM CO DUCTI GLOW LEVEL ATTACKS TO BEGIN NEW POLITICAL INITIATIVES. AIDEED'S UN RESTRICTED 2 UN RESTRICTED USC/SNA FRACTION IS NOW TAKING POLITICAL INITIATIVES IN THE OUTLYING AREAS. AIDEED' S USC/SNA IS ATTEMPTING TO FORM SEPARATE DISTRICT COUNCILS I DIRECT OPPOSITION TO UNOSOM'S COUNCILS . THERE CONTINUES TO BE INDICATIONS THAT USC/SNA FORCES ARE REORGANIZING, RESUPPLYING AND PREPARING TO DEFEND THEIR AREAS AG~INST FUTURE UNOSOM ACTION~. CLAN ON CLAN FIGHTING WITHIN THE CITY OF MOGADISHU IS STILL OCCURRING ON A SPORADIC BASIS. UNOSOM II AIR ACTIVITY HAS KEPT THE ENEMY FROM ATTACKING WITH MORTARS AND CONDUCTING ANY SIG IFICANT MOVEMENTS. TRAVEL O THE AFGOOYE ROAD FROM SP4 TO SP9,AND ALONG DEAD COW ROA D I S NOT AUTHORIZED FOR UNOSOM VEHICLES OTHER THAN AUTHOR I SED PATROLS. TRAVEL ON BALAD ROAD FROM SP19 TO SP42 IS BE I G AVOIDED UNTIL IT IS PROPERLY SECURED FROM MILITIA ACTIVITY. TRAVEL ON 21 OCT ROAD IS ALSO NOT ADVISED DUE TO I CREASED MILITIA ACTIVITY VIC THE CIGARETTE FACTORY. THE ENEMY CONTINUES TO R TAIN THE CAPABILITY TO CONSTRUCT ROADBLOCKS ON 21 OCT RD D OTHER AREAS IN THE CITY. THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTINUED CLAN ON CLAN FIGHTING WITHIN THE CITY OF MOGADISHU IS HIGH. MOST LIKELY ENEMY ACTION AGAINST UNOSOM II WILL BE SPORADIC AS AIDEED ATTEMPTS TO RE LEGITIMIZE HIS POSITION IN THE SOMALI POLITICAL PROCESS . THE NUMBER ONE OBJECTIVE OF ENEMY FORCES WILL BE TO CONTINUE TO AMBUSH UNOSOM VEH AND TAKE ADDITIONAL HOSTAGES. ATTACKS ON KEY FACILITIES SUCH AS PORTS, FORCE COMMAND HQ, THE AIRFIELD, HUNTER AND SWORD BASE WILL CONTINUE. THESE ATTACKS WILL PROBABLY INTENSIFY WITH INCREASED TERRORIST AND MINE WARFARE ACTIVITIES AGAINST UNOSOM PERSONNEL IN OGADISHU. B.

" - . UNOSOM UNITED NATIONS OPERATION IN SOMAtlA TO: David De Stacpoole Deputy security Coordinato FROM: Peter McK'nley SUBJECT: 1. At about ll00hrs today I was escorting the shuttle bus from the embassy compound to the southern compound. The escort consisted of one bus with international staff members thereon, my vehicle with 2 local guards and another international security officer and 3 other local escort cars. 2. The route we chose was "Dead Cow Road 11 • After we had turned right from Afgoi road we were traveling parallel to the embassy wall. I not· ced some Somali children in the area . 3. I became aware that I was passing through an area that had u was being sprayed with pepper spray. All the occupants in my veh'cle and the lead vehicle started to suffer the effects of this spray. 4. My lead car caught the main effect of this and had difficulty continuing as they were all sneezing and their eyes were water·ng. The occupants of my car and I also had problems which continued for some considerable time afterwards. s. I have subsequently discovered that the military were spray'ng the ch"ldren that were trying to loot in the area. 6. It is my opinion that this was unnecessary action by the military. Considering that this road ·s used constantly by UNOSOM staff the repercussions could have been serious had the ef ect on the convoy been greater. am sure that a mobile military patrol would have had a better effect in removing these children without any risk to civil an staff members. _,'~'~, COS TASK SHEET TO: .D /co FROM: COS DATE: rz.
