Planning the Mission

• The UN security clearance form is to be completed in its entirety, including

relevant vehicle tracking information and submitted as per UNDSS

procedures.

• A convoy leader should be selected.

Responsibilities/Requirements

Before leaving base:

• Once approval for the mission has been obtained from UNDSS, a copy of

the security clearance information is to be provided to the radio room,

detailing passengers traveling, their callsigns, mobile and satellite phone

numbers and other required information.

• Depending on the countries security phase and the requirement to have an

operating VHF and HF radio fitted to meet Moss compliancy, a radio check

should be made with the radio room before departing the compound to

ensure the equipment is operating correctly.

• The convoy leader is responsible for calling the tracking radio-room.

Whilst traveling:

• The tracking radio room is responsible for maintaining a separate tracking

sheet for each convoy. When the convoy is ‘handed-over’ to another radio-

room, the tracking sheet should be closed and a new one opened by the

radio-room assuming the vehicle tracking responsibilities.

• Tracking radio-rooms are to "hand-over" the convoy to another radio-

room, when the convoy leaves it's area of coverage. They must insure that

contact between the convoy and the new tracking radio-room has been

established.

It is important to reset the vehicles odometer to 0 (zero) before starting the road

mission. If an incident/accident happens, the distance from its departure point

can easily be read from the odometer. The distance in kilometers from the

departure point is very suitable for tracking data.

All care must be taken by drivers of vehicles fitted with HF radios. Passengers

traveling in UN vehicles are to be made aware of the dangers associated with HF

transmissions. Drivers are to ensure passengers are clear of the HF antenna fitted to

the vehicle when about to commence HF operations. RF (radio frequency) burns can

be received by anyone if they are in contact and/or near the HF antenna during HF

transmission.
