The deployment of HMCS FREDERICTON (FRE) in order to maintain a three ship Naval Task Group contribution to Operation APOLLO. BACKGROUND 2. The decision to accept the duties of Commander Task Force 151 within Operation ENDURING FREEDOM necessitated the deployment of HMCS IROQUOIS (IRO) to provide the required Command and Control capabilities to effectively carry out the associated responsibilities. Given the increased Canadian command responsibility it was decided to return the Canadian naval effort to the original Op APOLLO force level of a three-ship Naval Task Group (TG 307.1). These decisions necessitated a revision to the planned deployment schedule for ships. 3. FRE was originally scheduled to deploy in the mid-Feb 03 timeframe with a Helicopter Air Detachment (HELAIRDET) embarked. The requirement to deploy IRO and provide her a HELAIRDET necessitated a delay in the sailing of FRE while an additional HELAIRDET was prepared. DISCUSSION 4. Presently, Rotation Two of TG 307.1 is in theatre and is comprised of HMC Ships MONTREAL (MON) and WINNIPEG (WIN), each with a HELAIRDET. The Commander of the Task Group (CTG), along with his staff, are currently embarked in MON executing the duties of CTF 151. Rotation Three will comprise IRO with HELAIRDET and CTG embarked (Flagship), FRE with HELAIRDET and REGINA (REG) without a HELAIRDET. 5. REG sailed for the USCENTCOM AOR 31 Jan 03 and is scheduled to arrive in theatre 15 Mar 03, as originally scheduled. Her arrival will constitute the start of the increase to a three-ship Task Group. IRO sailed for the USCENTCOM AOR 24 Feb 03 and is scheduled to arrive in theatre 19 Mar 03. When IRO arrives and is declared operationally ready for employment, it will permit the release of WIN (29 Mar). 6. MON will conduct a transfer of the CTG and staff to IRO in the end Mar timeframe, but to maintain a three ship Task Group she will remain in theatre until relieved by FRE. If MON is to be relieved as planned (9 Apr) FRE must deploy on or about 5 Mar 03. 1/2 CONFIDENTIAL 000003 �Document disclosed under tine Access to Information A'ct Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur l'acces a /'information CONFIDENTIAL UMMARY 7. The decision to deploy IRO and to increase TG 307.1 to a three-ship TG commencing with the arrival in theatre of REG resulted in the need to adjust originally scheduled deployment and redeployment dates. Among them is the need for MARLANT to deploy FRE on or about 5 Mar 03. Prepared by: Responsible Group Principal: Responsible Director General: Responsible Director: Date Prepared: Maj D.J.
