  Security Council, which includes the full range
  of participation by political/diplomatic,
  humanitarian, police and military components

Scenario (continued)

• A peace operations scenario has been created
  based on a border conflict between two neighbors,
  which has resulted in a Regional need to
  establish peace, maintain peace and then
  transition to a United Nations lead Mission.
• The crisis has not been resolved and the
  international community has mandated a peace
  operation to support the restoration of a
  peaceful environment, support to the humanitarian
  relief effort, demarcation of the border and the
  peaceful return of the displaced to their homes.
