CHAPTER 3
STANDING MARITIME COMMITTEE CO-OPERATION BETWEEN
MEMBER STATES: CO-OPERATION PLANS: GUIDELINES
3001 Introduction
1. The Standing Maritime Committee (SMC) has addressed in detail the regional maritime situation
as defined by common interests of security and welfare of the Member States of the Southern
African Development Community (SADC) in its meetings and work sessions. Certain aims,
priorities, pre-requisites and restrictions concerning maritime military co-operation were defined
from these discussions.
2. Attempts to develop co-operation to a practical level must take note of the issues raised. The set
of guidelines contained in this section should therefore, be applied in the formulation of cooperation plans.
3. Co-operation Plans. The SMC Naval Co-operation Plans are a set of plans established to
promote naval co-operation between the Member States of the SADC.
4. Co-ordinating Responsibility. A specific Member State has been given the co-ordinating
responsibility for each Co-operation Plan. Co-ordination is achieved through the Naval Coordinating Work Group of the SMC.
3002 Guidelines
1. Planning. Planning must take cognisance of the vision, aim, objectives and functions of the SMC
as described in Chapter 1 of this publication.
2. Fields of Co-operation. Co-operation plans must be formulated for the following fields of
maritime co-operation:
a. Hydrography.
b. Naval Training.
c. Combined force preparation.
d. Combined force employment.
e. Combined force support.
f. Search and Rescue.
g. Naval Control of Shipping (NCS).
3. Pre-requisites of Co-operation. The pre-requisites that have been identified can be summarised
in the concept of inter-operability. The following pre-requisites governing successful cooperation must be considered in the formulation of co-operation plans:

requirements.
3004 Capabilities and Resources
1. Maximum use must be made of existing capabilities and resources to achieve co-operation while
the acquisition of extra or new resources should be minimised in the interest of economy.
2. Co-operation Plans must consider financial implications.
3005 Reference Documents
1. The following documents should be used as reference documents during the formulation of plans:
a. The document "ISDSC/MSSC/4-6 JUN 96 - Maritime Sub-Sub-Committee Work Group",
distributed under file reference VSH/R/311/1, contains useful information on the naval

SADC SMC 1
3006 Co-operation Plan Format
1. It is impossible to lay down a rigid format to which all plans should conform. However, to
achieve some standardisation, the format described below should be adopted as far as possible.
a. Complete Documentation. Documents should contain two separate parts, namely:
i. Part 1: Appreciation or Staff Paper. The detailed discussion of the reasoning used to
arrive at the plan. This may be in one of the accepted military methods of an
appreciation or a staff paper. The aim of this section is to provide a detailed basis for
assessment and reviewing of plans.
ii.
b.
Part 2: The Plan. An extraction of Part 1 detailing only the aspects describing
execution of the plan. The purpose of this document is to describe the plan for
implementation purposes.
Plan Format. The plan should be described with "ends", "ways" and "means" as follows:
i. Aims. This states what broad results the plan aims to achieve concerning the field of cooperation. Different aims can be identified for different periods, for example "Short
term", "Medium term", etc.
ii.
Objectives. Objectives form the detailed description of the results to be achieved for
each component part of the plan. Objectives must be measurable and must conclude a
time dimension that can be a specific date or period indication, for example "after 3
years". The objectives form the "ends" of the plan.
iii. Methods. For each objective the method or methods by which it is to be achieved must
be described. The method gives the "ways" in which the plan can be executed.
iv. Resources. For each method of execution, the resources required should be identified.
This should include the financial implications or expenses. The resources describe the
"means" required to execute the plan.

Guia de procedimentos
I - PROCEDIMENTO GERAL
Ao ser recebido um comunicado do qual se deduza a possibilidade de existência de vidas humanas em
perigo, o Oficial de Serviço ao MRCC deve adoptar o seguinte procedimento:
1.
Abrir um processo SAR conforme o registo de comunicado de acidente em anexo tentando obter
o máximo de informações possíveis do primeiro informador;
2.
Registar a posição ou área do acidente ou incidente. (Ex: posição do alerta Cospas
Sarsat/Inmarsat/Digital Selective Call, área de incerteza em Overdues, posição e azimute em
avistamentos, etc) e verificar as condições meteorológicas na área;
3.
Informar o SAR Mission Coordinator-SMC (nomeado pelo chefe do Centro de Operações)
aguardando instruções. ( O SMC deverá sempre ser posto ao corrente de toda a situação, no
desenrolar da ocorrência SAR);
4.
5.
Iniciar o preenchimento do formato de analise de factores, conforme o exemplo em Anexo;
Consoante a fase de Emergência atribuída pelo SMC assim deverá ser efectuado o respectivo
procedimento:
(1) Fase de Incerteza.
(2) Fase de Alerta.
(3) Fase de Perigo.

ou Fomento Marítimo, efectuar Avisos a Navegação através da Estação Radio Naval e difundir
um aviso através do Inmarsat (Safety.-Net Warning);
Considerar pedir SURPI a RCC Norfolk (sistema AMVER) ou efectuar Polling na área de
incerteza;
8.
Nas fases de Alerta e Perigo definir o DATUM e a Área de Probabilidade;
9.
Perante a área de probabilidade, efectuar o planeamento da área de busca definindo quais o(s)
meio(s) a envolver na acção SAR, designando o OSC (On Scene Comander) e as áreas de busca
individuais para cada SRU:
(1) Nayjos.(RV,RU,RB) Verificar o posicionamento do navio SAR e a existência de outros
navios nas proximidades (SURPIC-AMVER, Polling, resposta a avisos da E.R.N.). (No caso de
empenho do navio SAR estabelecer MRL e efectuar msg);
(2) Meio Aéreo ÍHEL-H.VLR. SRG)
Proceder de acordo com instruções para colaboração de meios aéreos;
10.
O empenhamento de unidades navais e meios aéreos em acções SAR, carecem de autorização do
SMC. Porém, no caso de evacuações médias consideradas como urgentes, e não permitindo
qualquer delonga, o Oficial de Serviço tem autonomia para empenhar os meios aéreos
necessários, sem prejuízo de informar a cadeia de comando na primeira oportunidade.
11.
Avaliar a necessidade de colaboração de meios de outros RCC;
12.
Obter informações adicionais junto da Lloyd's, RCC do país de registo, entidade detentora da
base de dados GDMSS, MONICAP e Capitanias, conforme aplicável.

Sitrep final quando a operação terminar. Os destinatários dos Sitrep's deverão ser: Gabinete do
CEMM, EMM, ZM/MRSC da área, capitania(s) de porto envolvida(s) ou com jurisdição na
área, MRCC originário da informação e/ou do pais da nacionalidade dos sinistrados e outras
entidades a equacionar (MRCCs adjacentes, armadores, embaixadas);
14.
Encerrar a acção SAR de acordo com as instruções do SMC, (depois de adquirida a certeza de
não haver perigo para vidas humanas, ou ser manifestamente impossível existirem
sobreviventes; nos casos de homem ao mar consultar a tabela de sobrevivência no mar);
15.
Quando findar uma operação SAR, deverá ser efectuada uma verificação no respectivo processo,
afim de completar o preenchimento dos vários impressos (registo de comunicado de acidente
SAR, elemento SAR para base de dados, cronologia dos acontecimentos, etc), efectuando o seu
encerramento;
16.
Para efeitos de divulgação interna o Oficial de Serviço ao MRCC deverá enviar um comunicado
jornalístico com o formato indicado, não necessitando para isso de aprovação superior.
17.
Sempre que se venha a verificar que foram emitidos sinais, chamadas ou mensagens de alarme,
de socorro, de urgência ou de segurança falsos ou enganosos, deliberadamente ou por
inadvertência ou deficiência de operação e em que não tenha sido tomadas medidas imediatas,
pela estação infractora, pára o seu cancelamento e comunicação ao centro coordenador, deverá

SECTION 5 - HYDROGRAPHY CO-OPERATION PLAN
Reference A: Summary of the state of Hydrography in SADC coastal states.
4501 Situation
1. The SADC Member States depend almost exclusively on the sea for trade. The growth of trade
is the key to rebuilding economies and because the terminals of almost all imports and exports
are ports, it is evident that provision of safe and efficient ports is a logical first step. Stronger
economies are axiomatic to the generation of peace and security in our region. The aim of
regional Hydrography must be to improve navigational safety for local and international shipping
thereby attracting modern cost-effective vessels that will land goods cheaper.
2. Commercial Hydrography in the region encompasses the following aspects of navigational
safety:
a. Accurate port and approach surveys.
b. Well-maintained charts and nautical publications.
c. Provision and maintenance of aids to navigation.
d. Provision of safety information transmitted by radio and satellite.
e. Accurate tidal predictions ensuring safe under-keel clearances.
f. Provision of environmental data.
3. Naval Hydrography involves improving the knowledge of the maritime battlefield in order to
obtain an advantage over the enemy. This encompasses the following:
a. Oceanographic information,
b. Meteorological information,
c. Bathymetric information.
4. The situation regarding Hydrography in the SADC region varies from satisfactory to poor and
any means to improve the situation in an efficient manner needs to be explored.
4502
Aim
To improve Hydrography in the SADC region in a co-ordinated manner.
4503 Factors
1. Differing Government Departments in Charge of Hydrography. In South Africa and Tanzania
Hydrography resort under the Department of Defence. In all other Member States Hydrography
falls under various other departments or authorities if at all. See Reference A.
a. Effect. No direct links between Hydrographic authorities in the region are found amongst
the members of the Standing Maritime Committee of the ISDSC. This is not the case in the
other SADC body charged with Hydrography, the sub-sectoral committee on Maritime and
Inland Waterways.
2. Lack of Hydrographic Institutions. Some Member States have no official Hydrographic office
which is mandated to carry out Hydrography for that state.
a. Effect. Evidently, if no institution is mandated to conduct Hydrography then there will be
no improvement in the situation in that country. This may be used to advantage in that the
military could fill the vacuum and provide the initial impetus for development.
RESTRICTED
4-34
ORIGINAL
RESTRICTED
SADC SMC 1
3. Lack of Hydrographic Capability in some Member States. Some Member States suffer from a
severe shortage of Hydrographic capability both in terms of equipment and trained personnel. In
others, like South Africa, the capability is decreasing with personnel shortage and ageing
equipment.
a. Effect. Reduced output of surveys and other services which effect the safety of life at sea.
4. Mobile Survey Unit. The SADC protocol is to be amended to include the establishment of a
regional mobile survey unit which will be based centrally and carry out port and approach
surveys in the region, including the inland waterways, as well as training and institution building.
This initiative is being pursued by the SATCC and will be funded by Norway.
a. Effect. The initial steps to autonomous Hydrography will be established in a structured, port
by port manner, resulting in port surveys and trained personnel to maintain those surveys
accurately.
5. Non membership of international bodies concerned with Hydrography and aids to navigation.
See Reference A.
a. Effect. Exclusion from the world effort in the various initiatives in respect of improvement
of safety of life at sea and the employment of varying standards, formats and methods which
automatically prevent the introduction of a homogeneous regional system.
6. Lack of belief in the value of Hydrography by major SADC decision-makers.
a. Effect. In the pecking order of fund allocation, Hydrography does not enjoy any real
priority.
4504 Courses of Action
1. Course 1. Assist with the establishment of the Mobile Survey Unit by SADC for regional
employment in port and approach surveys and inland waterway surveys.
2. Course 2. Where a vacuum exists in that no institution have been established with Hydrography
as a responsibility the military should establish such an office and accept the responsibility.
3. Course 3. When the Mobile Survey Unit commences surveys in the region the military is ideally
equipped to provide transport, physical security and entrée to suitable government departments to
facilitate its operation in their ports.
4. Course 4. Surveys to be conducted in a standardised manner agreed to in the region which
comply with international norms and which will be acceptable to a regional data base eg the RSA
Hydrographic Office data base from which homogeneous charting for the region can be derived.
5. Course 5. The adoption of course 4 will facilitate the compilation and printing of charts in a
centralised centre, such as the RSA Hydrographic Office and the RSA Naval Printing Press.
6. Course 6. The encouragement of respective national authorities to become members of
international bodies such as the International Hydrographic Organisation, the International
Association of Lighthouse Authorities, the International Maritime Organisation and others.
7. Course 7. To broadcast radio navigation warnings on Navtex, radio and satellite in accordance
with the IMO Navarea scheme.
8. Course 8. To actively influence decision makers to prioritise Hydrography as the starting point of
port development.
9. Course 9. To pool environmental data in a single data base to allow advantageous use of
RESTRICTED

SADC SMC 1
warships in times of emergency.
4505 Plan
1. The Departments of Defence to establish a Hydrographic office in Tanzania, Angola and possibly
Namibia.
2. The Standing Maritime Committee of the ISDSC should give written support to the concept of
the Mobile Survey Unit to the SADC Ministers.
3. Employ a uniform regional exchange standard for Hydrographic data which is also
internationally recognised. The IHO S-57 format is the preferred one.
4. Assist the relevant government departments charged with aids to navigation with the placing and
preservation of these aids.
5. Supply the RSA Hydrographic Office with all available oceanographic and meteorological data
for insertion into the regional Ocean Information System which it maintains and from where it
will be available to Member States.
6. The SA Navy Printing Press will supply digital copies of fair charts of ports and approaches to
the RSA Hydrographic Office chart database for chart compilation and later printing.
7. Assist the relevant government department charged with the broadcast of radio navigation
warnings using military facilities if only those are available.
8. Make recommendations to relevant Ministers for individual states to become members of the
relevant international maritime organisations.
4506 Conclusion
1. Security in the region is dependent on social well being which can only be improved by
revitalising the economies of the Member States. Port development is a pre-requisite to efficient
sea borne trade and Hydrography is axiomatic to port development.
2. A co-operative effort directed to Hydrography, concentrating on port and approach surveys,
training and aids to navigation should be initiated. The establishment of the regional mobile
survey unit has been agreed by various other maritime bodies to be the most effective means to
kick-start Hydrography in our region.

CHAPTER 5
MARITIME SEARCH AND RESCUE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
FOR MUTUAL ASSISTANCE BETWEEN SADC MEMBER STATES
5001 Introduction
1. In Search and Rescue (SAR) operations, time is the key factor in all preparations and actions to
ensure quick reaction to an incident. This draft plan proposes Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) for requesting and providing assistance for SAR operations. The SOPs establish the rules
and norms that the SADC countries will follow for co-operation during SAR operations.
2. Search and Rescue must be considered as an important part of all operations. Planning of
procedures must consider the safety capabilities and must fully use the capabilities of the various
services that can help in the rescue operation.
3. The training of the crews in SAR procedures is all-important. All crew members must know the
procedures required for personal safety and also know and have practical experience in operating
rescue equipment
4. In Angola a project is underway to devise a National plan for SAR. At the moment such a plan
does not exist. The only system used is the "INTERSAT" which is co-ordinated by our national
civil aviation authority. Angola, DR Congo, Namibia, Botswana, RSA and Brazil co-operate
within this system for maritime and air distress.
5. The Angolan National SAR Commission still needs to be established. It is planned to include the
Defence, Home Affairs, Fisheries and Environment Transport and Finance and Agriculture
Ministries. The Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications, the primary department for
SAR, has a co-ordination centre that also supports the Angolan Navy.
5002
The Mission
The principal mission of SAR is to reach the incident quickly and to rescue survivors using all
available resources.
5003 Scope of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
1. These SOPs will cover the following:
a. Request procedures.
b. Responsibility of Member States.
c. Responsibility of Initiating States.
d. Possible missions for military forces in SAR operations.
e. Command and Control.
f. Communications.
g. Logistics and Administration.
h. Withdrawal.
5004 Request Procedures
1. General. Speed of action is essential, therefore any bureaucracy must be eliminated and the
fastest means of communications used. Communications must be in clear language, because
there is no time for deciphering messages. Communications discipline, however, remains
indispensable.
RESTRICTED
5-1
ORIGINAL
RESTRICTED
SADC SMC 1
2. Alert Message. The signal will be sent to all Member States from the Initiating Country. The
message will provide the following data:
a. Kind of incident or distress.
b. Date, time and place of incident.
c. Magnitude of the incident.
d. Estimated scope of assistance and any specialised equipment required.
e. Initial assistance required.
f. Suggested routes to place of incident by air, sea or land.
g. Any other relevant information.
3. Request for Assistance. The same format and detail as in paragraph 2 above, will be used to
make an official request for assistance.
4. Confirmation of Available Means. All Member States must confirm what assistance they can
provide and the time within which the assistance can be available at the scene of operations.
5005 Member States' Responsibility
1. SADC Member States will have the following responsibilities:
a. To support the initiating country with material and technical means.
b. To provide communication support.
c. To provide human resource support.
d. To provide medical support and other facilities.
5006 Responsibility of Countries Initiating Requests for Assistance
1. The country initiating the request for assistance ("Initiating State") must do everything possible,
within its capabilities, to execute the search and rescue.
2. It must provide current information about the SAR area and compile a record of all material and
equipment available to carry out the necessary operations.
3. It must co-ordinate and control the communication means employed during operations and
arrange translators if necessary.
5007 Possible Missions for Military Forces
1. The following possible missions may be required from military forces:
a. Provide communications between participating units.
b. Provide situation reports (SITREPs) to the controlling agency.
c. Provide forces for search, rescue and transport operations.
d. Keeping Law and Order at the scene of action.
e. Fire fighting, removing obstacles and protecting life and property.
5008 Command and Control
1. The Initiating State will appoint a "Chief Executor". He will be responsible for co-ordinating all
operations.
2. The Chief Executor must be in the operational area and keep the SAR Control Centre informed of
the progress of the operation.
3. A single overall co-ordinator (Chief Executor) is essential. Even if many nations, organisations,
departments or services are involved there must be only one co-ordinating authority. All
information must be directed to this authority who will be the decision-maker. The best way to
co-ordinate the efficient application of the forces and other resources available for the search and
rescue effort is by a single co-ordination authority.
RESTRICTED
5-2
ORIGINAL
RESTRICTED
SADC SMC 1
4. In the operational theatre ("Scene of Operations") all units engaged in SAR operations, whether
aircraft or ships, must similarly be under operational control of a single, appointed, commander.
5009 Administration and Logistics
1. Each Member State involved is responsible for paying the costs of its forces and should be selfsufficient for a minimum of 15 days.
2. Military personnel of participating states will wear their national uniforms. Transport and other
relevant support will be under control of the Chief Executor.
5010
Communications
Assisting states in SAR operations must supply their personnel with the necessary means for
internal communication.
Alternative means must be used to ensure uninterrupted
communication. The Initiating State must provide communication between assisting teams and
the control centre.
5011 Withdrawal
1. The control centre will advise the commander of operations how and when to withdraw. Each
participating state must ensure a quick and smooth withdrawal.
2. On completion of operations, each participating state must distribute a report of the lessons
learned to all Member States.

CHAPTER 6
DOCUMENT CONFIGURATION CONTROL
6001 Introduction
1. The Standing Maritime Committee (SMC) has produced a number of documents during its
existence over the last six years. Most of these documents need to be referred to regularly and to
be amended from time to time, that is, they are of a permanent nature. These documents,
however, mostly form part of the minutes of previous SMC meetings and are thus difficult to
handle as independent documents. Therefore, a need exists, to extract these documents into
publications that are freely available to Member States.
2. The publication configuration procedure set out below has as its purposes the extraction of such
documents as independent publications and the control of all future publications produced by the
SMC.
3. It is important that other forums of the ISDSC, with which the SMC has business, are aware of
this control procedure.
6002 Publication Configuration Procedure
1. Introduction
a. Definition. Publication control refers to the measures taken at various levels to record the
access, distribution, movement, storage and withdrawal of publications that have been
produced. This also outlines the various authorities required to originate or amend any
publication.
b.
Purpose. The purpose of these control measures is to ensure that the introduction,
publication and withdrawal of any publication are done in an orderly fashion. This is to say
it is done in a manner that does not conflict with any multilateral protocols that have been
signed within the SADC.
2. Production and Distribution of Publications
a. Appointment of Responsible Authorities. The SMC will appoint an Editor for each
publication (see Appendix A). The South African Naval Publications Unit (SANPU) will be
the Publishing Agency for SMC publications.
b.
Distribution. The SANPU will distribute one copy only of each publication to each Member
State, via the SA Navy Foreign Relations Section. Member States must make sufficient
copies to satisfy their internal requirements.
3. Formatting
a. Layout. Every publication shall be required to conform to a standard layout and format as
determined by the SANPU. It is incumbent on the editor of each publication to ensure that
the publication is compliant to these standards.
b.
Drafts. All draft publications shall be marked "draft" on the cover page to prevent any
possibility of mistaking them for approved publications.
RESTRICTED
6-1
ORIGINAL
RESTRICTED
c.
SADC SMC 1
Title and Numbering of Publications. Publications shall carry the prefix "SADC" (Southern
African Development Community) in their full title for identification, for example "SADC
Maritime Search and Rescue Standing Operation Procedures". Each publication shall also
have a short title, in this case, for example "SADC MARSARSOP".
4. Approval of Publications
a. Approval Procedure. All draft publications must be submitted to the SMC for approval
before they can be finally produced and distributed.
b.
Approval Authority. The SMC Chair or a higher Interstate Defence and Security Committee
(ISDSC) authority, as decided within the ISDSC, will approve SMC publications.
5. Control
a. Nodal Points. Each country will establish a nodal point where all publications will be
directed. See detailed role and functions of Nodal Point Officer attached as Appendix A.
b.
Publications Register
i.
The SMC Secretary will maintain a register of the publications that are in existence.
Each SMC publication must contain a list of other SMC publications in force.
ii.
c.
At National level, the nodal point officer shall be responsible for all publications that
have been distributed to the Member States. It would be expected that the national
nodal point would maintain a register of all such publications.
Acknowledgement of Receipt. A Receipt Form (Appendix B) must be appended to all
distributed publications. The form must be completed by the recipient and returned to the
SANPU (SADC Member State distribution) or the Nodal Point (internal national
distribution).
6. Amendments and Changes
a. Initiation. Editors must submit proposed amendments or changes to the SMC Secretariat for
distribution to Member States at least three months before the next SMC meeting. This will
allow for Member States' input before the meeting.
b.
Approval. The approval procedure for amendments will be the same as for the approval of
publications (see par 4.a. above).
c.
Insertion. Editors of SADC publications must submit approved changes/amendments to the
SANPU, for insertion by all SADC countries holding the publication. It will then be the
responsibility of the SANPU to distribute the amendments. An insertion certificate will
accompany the changes (Appendix C). This certificate must be signed and returned to the
SANPU and Nodal Points.
d.
Identification. A vertical line on the right hand side of the page must indicate amendments to
original text. Changes must show the change number on affected pages. A List of Effective
Pages (LEP) must be used to control each publication and updated each time pages are
replaced.

CHAPTER 7
STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR THE MOVEMENT OF A
COMBINED SOUTHERN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY (SADC)
MILITARY TASK FORCE FROM HOME BASES TO AN AREA OF
DEPLOYMENT
7001 Introduction
1. Employment of military forces and combat power decides the outcome of campaigns and
operations. The success of these forces is largely dependent on a sound, timely deployment and
support. A well-defined integrated transportation system is a critical part of this support.
Inadequate control of logistic movement results in waste, reduced efficiency and loss of potential
combat power.
2. Elements of a transportation system are mode operations (surface, water, air), terminal operations
and movement control. Movement control is the most critical component of an integrated
transportation system and must co-ordinate the transportation assets of modes, terminals, services,
commands and host nations during deployment, sustainment and redeployment.
3. The transportation system should also provide transportation of patients, enemy POW's, noncombatant evacuation operations (NEO) and force redeployment. The latter should be addressed
at an early stage as it may take twice as long as deployment. All this is normally done over long
distances and is subjected to the timetable of the Commander Combined Task Force.
7002
Aim
To establish a Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) for the sealift of a combined SADC Military
Task Force from an identified Seaport of Embarkation (SPOE) to the area of deployment.
7003
Scope
This SOP will address the actions to be taken prior to the arrival of the force in the SPOE and the
responsibilities of the Port Movement Centre.
7004 Definitions
1. Combined Movement Control Centre (CMCC). Staff Officers at the SADC Military Headquarters
(SADCMHQ)/Combined Operations Board (COB) forms this centre on an ad hoc base. The
CMCC is responsible for the planning, routing, determining of priorities, obtaining of additional
assets, scheduling and controlling of strategic assets and maintaining of in-transit visibility to
assist commanders and operations staffs in force tracking. This applies to all forces from home
bases to assembly areas, SPOE/APOE, rail, road and from SPOD/APOD to a forward assembly
area.
2. Strategic Assets. Are those organic assets that are utilised for the movement of personnel and/or
equipment in bulk over long distances. These assets normally operate from safe airport/harbour to
safe airport/harbour. These assets remain under operational command of SADCMHQ/COB and
are seldom, if ever, allocated to the operational level commander.

3. Port Movement Centre. This organisation operates in the Seaport of Embarkation and
Disembarkation. It is responsible for the receiving of equipment and/or personnel from home
bases and/or assembly areas, accommodating of personnel, warehousing of equipment, preparing
of equipment, arranging stevedoring, marshal equipment, prepare all relevant documentation,
prepare schedules/cargo manifests, liaise with local authorities wrt amenities, provide facilities,
berthing of ships at piers and quays, loading and discharging of cargo, inspection and clearance of
cargo and courier service.
4. Airport Movement Centre. This organisation operates in the Airport of Embarkation and
Disembarkation. It is responsible for the receiving of equipment and/or personnel from home
bases and/or assembly areas, warehousing of equipment and accommodation of personnel, the
preparing of equipment, prepare all relevant documentation, prepare schedules/cargo manifests,
liaise with local authorities wrt amenities, provide facility for the landing of aircraft, loading and
discharge of cargo, inspection and clearance of cargo and courier service. Details to be included
at a later stage.
5. Surface Movement Centre. To be included at a later stage.
6. Strategic Airlift. The pre-positioning and air movement of military material in support of SADC
and/or allied forces. It includes organic and commercial acquired aircraft and services, including
the charter of foreign aircraft.
7. Strategic Sealift. The afloat pre-positioning and ocean movement of military material in support
of SADC and/or allied forces. It includes organic and commercial acquired shipping, ships taken
up from trade (STUFT) and shipping services, including the charter of foreign flag vessels.
8. Lead Nation. Is the nation appointed by SADC to take the lead in any military operation.
9. Combined Operations Board (COB). Is a board established by SADC to oversee any combined
SADC military operation.
10. Troop Contributing Country (TCC).
Combined Task Force.
Refers to all the countries contributing forces to the
11. Commander Combined Task Force (CCTF). Is the appointed commander of the Combined
SADC Military Force.
7005 Concept of Movement of the Combined Task Force
1. It is envisaged that all participating forces will mobilise within their own country. This movement
will be the responsibility of the various TCCs. See Appendix A.
2. A Combined Movement Control Centre, that will be established, will co-ordinate all strategic
movement from the respective TCCs to the area of deployment. This task may be delegated to a
lead nation. In the event of the latter the CMCC will be supplemented with liaison officers of the
various TCC's. See Appendix B.
3. SADCMHQ/COB is responsible for the effective management of available strategic resource,
including chartered assets, to ensure an uninterrupted flow of supplies. It must however be
flexible enough to change with mission modifications.

SADC SMC 1
4. All strategic assets deployed during strategic movement remains under the operational command
of the SADCMHQ/COB or under the command of the country appointed to operate the CMCC.
7006 Functions of the CMCC
1. Planning. Movement of personnel and/or equipment should be done during the combined
planning process. Appendix B reflects a typical composition of a CMCC. The planning should
cover the following:
a. Initial or Surge Stage
i.
Re-Deployment. During this phase units will be moved from their respective home
bases to a mobilisation centre or an assembly area where mission ready training will
take place. The various countries are responsible for the movement of forces from
home base to either the mobilisation centre or the assembly area. CMCC is responsible
for the movement of forces from the mobilisation centre to the assembly area.
ii.
Movement to the SPOE. The movement of the Task Force from a mobilisation or
assembly area to the POE is the responsibility of the CMCC. This movement may be
executed by rail and/or road. It is envisaged that only a small number of personnel,
those that will ultimately accompany the ship(s), will be moved to the SPOE. If the
rest of the Task Force is destined to be airlifted from the APOE closest to the SPOE
then the entire CTF will be moved to a facility close to the SPOE and APOE. If the
CTF is airlifted from an APOE close to the assembly or mobilisation area, the
personnel will be moved to the APOE.
iii.
Strategic Sealift. This entails the movement of the equipment and personnel into the
SPOE, the loading of the ship(s) and the movement of the ship(s) to the SPOD. The
Port Movement Centre is responsible for all the activities in the SPOE and may be
involved in the activities within the SPOD.
iv.
In-theatre Reception at the SPOD. Depending on the auspices under which the
operation and/or deployment is carried out, the reception in the SPOD will be done by
the United Nations Logistics Company. A SADC contingent element may be part of
the reception organisation. If the SADC is responsible for the deployment, an element
of the PMC will be airlifted and deployed in the SPOD prior to the arrival of the
ship(s). The equipment will be moved to an assembly area in or close to the SPOD for
formalities.
v.
In-theatre movement. This is the responsibility of the CTF and entails the movement
from the assembly area in the SPOD to the area of deployment. This may be done by
rail and/or road. The Host Nation (HN) may render assistance. The latter may have to
be co-ordinated by the PMC or SADC contingent element in the SPOD.
b.
Tactical Re-supply. This entails the initial re-supply of the CTF and will be co-ordinated by
the CMCC.
c.
Sustained Re-supply. This entails the sustained re-supply of the CTF and will be coordinated by the CMCC.
d.
Redeployment. This entails the redeployment of the forces to another area of operation or
back to their respective home bases and is often neglected. Planning for it should commence
at an early stage to alleviate the burden on the strategic assets. This will be co-ordinated by
the CMCC.

SADC SMC 1
2. De-conflicting Priorities. The number of conflicting priorities in a transportation system depends
on the demands placed on the system. Conflicts should be resolved at the lowest level and only if
it cannot be done should the CTF (Log) determine the priorities. Only if this is not possible will
the CMCC be required to determine the priorities. The PMC is to be informed accordingly.
3. Validation. Authorities within the requesting unit's chain of command and the CTF (Log) must
validate shipments presented to the CMCC for movement. This confirms the need for the
movement, shipment configuration, dimensions and routing. The CTF (Log) is to submit all
requests for support to SADCMHQ/COB who will advise the PMC of cargo that are presented for
movement.
4. Co-ordination. Comprises the following:
a. Special Moves. Involves the movement of special weapons or large formations and are often
politically sensitive and can adversely impact on other operations.
b.
Multinational Operation Moves. Will require integration with the movement organisations
and capabilities of other nations. Within SADC the various TCC movement organisations
will be involved during the pre-deployment and specific consideration should be given to the
following :
i.
Inland Surface Lines of Communication. Use are to be made of available highways,
railroads and (where applicable) canals to move units and supplies. Cognisance should
be taken of the local government and civilian requirements. This is applicable to both
the SPOE and the SPOD.
ii.
Host Nation Support. This is very important and may comprise both the host nations at
the SPOE and the SPOD. The PMC commander will be responsible to co-ordinate all
host nation support (HNS) at the SPOE. If a PMC is not deployed in the SPOD, the
CCTF will be responsible to co-ordinate and arrange all host nation support. The latter
may be delegated to the CTF logistic officer.
iii.
Support from Other Nations. If the SADC is part of a multi-nation force and
depending on the size and composition of the force, strategic sea- and airlift assets
could be provided by another nation or by commercial enterprise. The United Nations
may arrange the latter.
iv.
Support to Other Nations. Assistance to other governments providing humanitarian aid
may have to be provided utilising own strategic sea- and airlift assets. This will be coordinated by the CMCC.
v.
Multinational Operations. In the event of SADC being part of a multinational
operation, strategic movement could be provided by another nation. This will be coordinated by the CMCC.
5. Planning and Selection of SPOE and SPOD. The CMCC, in co-operation with the CCTF, will
determine the SPOE and the SPOD. The SPOD may be identified by another organisation, ie the
UN or the OAU. The following factors will influence the selection of the ports:
a. Type of Cargo. Cargo can be handled in the following categories at the water terminals and
can be loaded or discharged by utilising cranes and/or MHE (forklifts):
i.
Containerisation. Goods transported in containers that meet the international
standards.
ii.
Breakbulk/crater/palletisation.
iii. Original Configuration. Such as rolling stock.
RESTRICTED

b.
SADC SMC 1
Category of Ports. These can be categorised based on following three main characteristics :
i.
Physical Facility.
(1) Fixed Water Terminals. Deep-draft vessels come alongside for berthing and
discharge cargo directly onto the wharf, pier or quay. These are equipped with
sophisticated handling equipment that is capable of handling large volumes.
Cargo is generally discharged directly onto surface transport or into a terminal.
This is the ideal terminal.
(2)
Unimproved Facilities. Is a site that is not specifically designed for cargo
discharge as it lacks facilities, equipment and/or infrastructure of a fixed water
terminal. Shortcomings may include sufficient depth to accommodate strategic
sealift ships, MHE and berthing space.
(3)
Bare Beach. Lighterage is utilised to off load ships at anchor and cargo is moved
over the beach or shore.
c.
Commodities Handled. The type of cargo that is handled at that specific terminal categorises
water terminals. The special requirements for the handling of ammunition, explosives, bulk
fuel and other hazardous cargo must be carefully planned. Classified cargo must receive
special attention and personnel must be cleared to handle such cargo.
d.
Methods of Cargo Handling. Within the Water Terminal cargo is handled in the following
ways :
i.
Containers. Significant infrastructure, cranes, specialised MHE and secure open
storage, is usually required to handle containers. Cognisance should be taken of the
facilities available in the SPOD in handling and conveying containers placed on the
quay by the ships crane. It is however the preferred way of handling cargo through a
Water Terminal.
e.
ii.
Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO-RO). This is the preferred way of transporting all vehicles and
wheeled equipment. It, however, requires assembly area close to the seaports and
marshalling areas within the seaports, preferable on the quay next to the ship(s). The
influence of the weather on these areas is to be appreciated and it is recommended that
the marshalling area be a hard surface. Loading of the ship(s) may take longer than the
discharge. Specialised RO-RO ships require specialised berths while others are able to
operate from a normal quay. The influence of the tide on the latter should be
appreciated.
iii.
General Cargo. This is a time consuming, MHE dependent and manpower-intensive
method of handling cargo. The cargo should at least be palletised for ease of handling.
The berth should have an apron for the full length of the ship(s), be able to
accommodate all MHE operations and provide covered warehousing for the cargo until
it is loaded and/or off loaded.
iv.
Lighterage. This is hazardous, complex, time consuming and manpower intensive and
may involve cargo in containers, RO-RO or breakbulk. This method should only be
used if no other method is available.
Workload Required to Support the Deployment. This is expressed in cargo tons, cubic
metres or pieces per day. This is what is actually required to be sea lifted.
RESTRICTED
7-5
ORIGINAL
RESTRICTED
SADC SMC 1
f.
Terminal Throughput Capacity. This represents the tonnage, cubic metres and pieces that
the terminals are capable of handling and clear per day and is very important for both the
terminal in the SPOD and SPOE.
g.
Construction and/or Repair Requirements. Are any construction and/or repairs required to
the terminals to handle and/or increase the handling capability of the said terminal? This is
usually time consuming and resource-intensive.
h.
Equipment Requirements. What equipment, including MHE, is required in the terminal to
process the required workload, or is additional equipment required? If the latter, what is the
impact on time and the proposed schedule of the CTF? This should be carefully appreciated.
i.
Personnel Requirements. What is required in the seaports for administration and operations?
How are these to be conveyed and how will their own administration requirements be
satisfied?
6. Establishing PMCs. Once the magnitude of the force to be moved is confirmed and the ports are
identified, the CMCC will deploy a PMC. The composition of this may vary depending on the
nature of the operation and the phase of deployment. The PMC will be under command of the
CMCC.
7007 Strategic Movement Control
1. The Strategic Movement Control process covers the movements planned during the deliberate and
the crisis action planning process.
a. Deliberate Planning Process. This process deals with the time phasing of movements and
the assigning of transportation resources to support initial deployments for a set period,
normally approximately 90 days after the deployment commences. It entails the following
actions:
i.
Identifying the total movement requirements. This includes personnel, vehicles,
equipment and supplies. The dimensions of all major equipment, ie ICV, should be
established.
ii.
Describe the total movement requirements in Logistic terms, ie litres, tons, square
metres, cubic metres and number of personnel. It is important to determine the
following wrt the cargo that are to be sea lifted:
(1) What must be embarked between decks?
(2) What can be stowed on the upper decks? Must it be covered or not?
(3) What may be stacked and how high?
(4) Types of ammunition and explosives to be transported.
(5) SPOE/SPOD.
iii.
Determine the Strategic Deployment method.
(1) If the deployment is under the auspices of the United Nations (UN), the SADC
may offer its own Strategic resources to the UN for the transport of the force. If
this is not done, or not accepted by the UN, the UN will provide Strategic
resources. The information of paragraph 0707.1.a.ii. above is of paramount
importance and should be forwarded to the SADCMHQ/COB and the UN six
weeks prior to the departure of the force.
(2) If the deployment is not under the auspices of the UN, own Strategic resources
are to be utilised.
RESTRICTED

SADC SMC 1
iv
The movement of the force from the forward assembly area to the SPOE could form
part of this function. Organic convoys are an important mode of transport. CMCC will
be responsible for the co-ordination of the convoys to coincide with the proposed
Transportation Operations Plan.
v.
Produce a Transportation Feasible Operations Plan.
b.
Crisis Action Strategic Movement Control. This follows the same process as the Deliberate
Planning Process with the main difference being the time available to reach allocation,
scheduling, identification of threats to transportation assets en route to the SPOD. Early
identification of the force and its movement requirements is of vital importance. Once again
the information required in paragraph 0707.1.a.ii. is vital.
7008 Strategic Movement
1. Strategic movement assets will be in high demand during the deployment and withdrawal phases
of an operation and will decrease as the deployed force is sustained by HNS. During this phase,
depending on the nature of the operation, strategic assets may be provided by another country,
local ships taken up from trade (STUFTs) or foreign STUFTs provided for by an organisation like
the UN or OAU. During the sustainment phase regular movement of both or either sea and air
strategic assets will occur.
2. Own strategic movement assets will be limited and will in all probability be limited to a small
number of ships and aircraft. The utilisation of these assets, if available, will be the responsibility
of the CMCC. These may be utilised during the initial deployment and withdrawal phases as part
of the strategic lift and thereafter some may be utilised during the sustainment phase.
3. The utilisation of STUFTs and routine commercial flights and ships during the sustainment phase
should not be ignored as these assets could be less expensive than military assets.
4. Movement by road and rail should never be underestimated. This includes the movement during
any of the phases and could be done by utilising existing infrastructure and facilities. This mode
of transport should always be considered in the country of deployment as part of HNS between
the SPOD and the forward logistics base, if it is not established within the SPOD.
7009
Theatre Movement
The terminal operating organisation in the SPOD should co-ordinate the employment of all means
of theatre transportation, including that provided by the HN, to support the concept of operations.
If a terminal operating organisation is not established in the SPOD the CTF logistics organisation
will be responsible for the employment of all theatre transportation.

7010 Port Movement Centre
1. Overview. Water terminals are key nodes in the total distribution system that must be established
to ensure the success of military operations. Historically, approximately 85 to 95% of a force's
equipment and sustainment cargo is moved into a theatre utilising sealift and is off loaded through
existing seaports or water terminals.
2. A Port Dossier should be maintained of all SADC harbours. Port dossiers should contain the
following information and should be updated annually :
a. Availability of Harbour. Operating hours of the harbour. This should include the
availability of tugs and berthing parties.
b.
Wharfage. Number of wharves available including quay number, length, depth at CD (m)
and quay above CD (m). Indicate services that are available at each quay, ie fuel, water,
electricity (indicate type and voltage etc), telephone, electric cranes, fire fighting, removing
of refuse, black and brown water. Indicate the hose size, max reach, flanges and delivery
speed.
c.
Slip and Drydock Facilities. Indicate if these are available indicating dimensions, services
available, MHE available, electricity and welding points.
d.
MHE. This should include all MHE other than the electric cranes indicated under
paragraph 2.b. above. Type of cartage available and access to national road and rail network
should be indicated.
e.
Diving Services. Who operates the service and contact details.
f.
Work Boats. Number and type of tugs available. Other work boats available.
g.
Fenders. Type and availability.
h.
Storage Sheds. Availability and ownership.
i.
Open Storage. Availability and ownership.
j.
Types of cargo. Indicate the types of cargo that can be handled by the various quays, ie
break-bulk or containers etc and the MHE available to handle the types of cargo.
k.
Industrial Infrastructure. Indicate the various types of industries available in and around the
harbour that could assist in the event of repairs being required. The capability of each
industry should be included.

m. Steps in Water Terminal Planning. Assess the following :
7011 Deployment Phases
1. The type and volume of cargo handled will change during the various deployment stages and
adequate planning will ensure effective and efficient handling during the stage. The following is
an indication of changes per stage :
RESTRICTED
7-8
ORIGINAL
RESTRICTED
SADC SMC 1
a.
Initial or Surge Stage. During this stage units deploy with their equipment, vehicles and
supplies and should predominantly be RO-RO or breakbulk. Personnel should be airlifted
and only essential personnel should be accommodated on board the ship(s) for the sealift.
The early deployment of elements of the PMC is of paramount importance to ensure that the
PMC is in place to receive the deployed Task Force both in the SPOE and SPOD. HNS in
the SPOD is of utmost importance.
b.
Tactical Resupply Stage. During the initial or surge stage, the CTF will only be taking
sufficient supplies for a number of days, as the CTF organisation will not be in a position to
handle or support large volumes of cargo. Once the CTF organisation is in place, the CTF
are to be supplied with the CTF determining priorities. To avoid bottlenecks, the movement
should be planned taking into account the capability and infrastructure available to the PMC
and CTF in the SPOD.
c.
Sustained Resupply Stage. During this stage the CTF is sustained and the volume of cargo
will decrease which means that the size of the PMC could be adjusted accordingly.
d.
Redeployment Stage. During this stage, the CTF is re-deployed to another theatre or to their
original SPOE. This should be planned at an early stage and excess equipment and supplies
should be returned during the sustainment re-supply stage, to alleviate the pressure during
this stage.
7012 Cargo Considerations
1. The transportation plan is influenced by the amount of containerised, breakbulk and vehicle cargo.
Internationally it is accepted that the ration of containerised versus non-containerised cargo is 4 to
1 during peacetime. However, this ratio will change drastically during wartime.
2. Consideration should be given to the following:
a. Packaging may dictate the need for specialised equipment and trained personnel.
Cognisance should be taken of the variety of vehicles that could be deployed as part of a
SADC TF and need to be loaded utilising the ship's inherent cranes.
b.
Cargo that may require covered storage or warehousing.
c.
Dangerous or hazardous cargo (ammunition) requires careful handling, warehousing,
segregation or possible separate or isolated terminals. The planner should evaluate the
terminal capacity with emphasis being on the handling of items like ammunition by MHE.
7013 Responsibilities of the Officer Commanding a Water Terminal
1. The officer commanding a Port Movement Centre is responsible for the overall operation of the
terminal and include the following (see Appendix C for a typical layout of a PMC):
a. Port Movement Centre Planning and Operations.
