As noted in earlier Minutes to DGIS Pol, subject issue is being pursued by DCDS Group/J3 International staff. In staffing the enclosed 29 Jan 01 letter to MND, the DGIS Pol Middle East desk officer (D PK Pol 3 - LCol A. Couture) was consulted by J3 International for concurrence. 2. DFAIT geographic branches are consulted on ship deployment issues on an ongoing basis as required, and more formally on a semi-annual basis through the DND/DFAIT Ship Deployment Planning Meetings (normally May and December of each year). In that forum, DFAIT geographic Divisions table their approved port visit priorities which are then considered in concert with ADM(Pol)/DGIS Pol geographic desk officers and CMS staff. During the latest (December 2000) meeting, the impact that the terrorist attack on the USS COLE would have on HMCS CHARLOTTETOWN'S operational programme was not yet known; however, the scheduled port visits to Barcelona, Spain, and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, reflected DFAIT priorities identified at that meeting. Once the need to revise the CHARLOTTETOWN programme was known, the opportunity to visit the DFAIT priority port of Alexandria, Egypt was identified, and DCDS/CMS are currently awaiting CTF 60 (USN COMSIXTHFLT) concurrence for this change. A response is anticipated as early as Tues 13 Feb 01. 3. The remainder of the port visits noted (Adriatic, Sicily and Malta) reflect the need to permit CHARLOTTETOWN to remain in relatively close proximity to CTF 60 deployed forces for operational/training requirements. Once the final programme is confirmed and coordinated with ADM(Pol) staff, DCDS Group will submit a revised Briefing Note for the Minister to that effect. G.R.

I concur with the assessment of the DCDS and CMS that the change will provide an excellent training opportunity for the crew of HMCS Charlettetown, while at the same time supporting a broader DFAIT agenda at a lesser overall cost. Accordingly, I have approved the revised programme.

To inform the Minister of changes to the sailing programme of HMCS CHARLOTTETOWN, which departed Halifax 12 Jan 01. BACKGROUND 2. The Minister had previously approved the Jan-Jul 01 deployment of HMCS CHARLOTTETOWN with USN forces to participate in the Arabian Gulf (AG) Multinational Interception Force (MIF) in support of UN Security Resolutions (UNSCR) against Iraq. The original plan had the ship departing Halifax (12 Jan) in company with two US Ships and rendezvousing with the TRUMAN Carrier Battle Group (CVBG) in the Mediterranean Sea, where the ships would exercise until the end of Feb 01 prior to sailing for the AG. 3. From a national perspective, the objective of any OP AUGMENTATION deployment is the reinforcement of Canadian support of the UNSCR against Iraq. In addition, these deployments develop our interoperability with our USN counterparts. USN resources in logistics, operational and training support to these deployments could neither be made available, nor be affordable, to Canada under any other arrangement. As a result, sailing with the USN for any significant period of time reaps considerable benefits in the development of our sailors as well as reinforcing our credibility as a first-rate Navy. 4. The October 2000 terrorist attack carried out against the USS COLE in Aden, Yemen, has caused the USN to order their forces to a heightened state of preparedness and activity in the AG. As a result, USN ships are not conducting any in-port activities in theatre except for urgent resupply. With this increased tempo of operations, fewer ships are required by the AG MIF as all assigned ships are spending more time on patrol and consequently ships assigned to the MIF are serving for shorter durations. This new posture is expected to remain in effect for at least the first 4-6 months of this year. DISCUSSION 5. In early Dec, the USN informed the CF that the intended sailing programme for the CHARLOTTETOWN was undergoing significant revision. Following an options analysis and consultation with USN authorities, CMS concluded that the best option would be for CHARLOTTETOWN to deploy as follows: a. sail 12 Jan in company with US Ships MITSCHER and CARR; 1/2 CONFIDENTIAL 000009 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information ActDocument divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a /'information .CONFIDENTIAL b. operate in the Mediterranean under the Operational Control of US Commander Sixth Fleet and the TRUMAN CVBG until mid April, vice the end of February. During her time in the Mediterranean, CHARLOTTETOWN would participate in training exercises in the Adriatic as well as in the major multinational exercise ADVENTURER EXPRESS. The opportunity to operate in the Mediterranean is a positive development as Canada rarely has the opportunity to work with the Sixth Fleet in this important area of the world. Priorities with respect to port visits during this deployment have been coordinated with ADM Pol and DFAIT, and will include support DFAIT during the visits to Albania, Malta, Sicily and the Red Sea port of Jeddah Saudi Arabia; c. transit the Suez Canal and Red Sea in time to arrive in the AG 22 Apr; d. conduct MIO patrols under the Operational Control of US Commander Fifth Fleet in May; and e. depart the AG at the end of May, to arrive in Halifax 10 Jul. 6. While the exact programme for CHARLOTTETOWN in the Mediterranean is still being developed with the USN, its latest version is attached as Annex A. 7. The revised programme realizes a savings of approximately $300K and has no QOL implications for the ships company. 8. Despite the changes to the original sailing plan, the new programme meets national objectives in support of UNSCR, meets our interoperability objectives for this initial MARLANT/USN Second Fleet deployment and enables support to several DFAIT missions that the Navy could not otherwise afford to support.
