    but robust and flexible Armed Forces focusing on
    border security and a much larger Police Force
    both with highly professional intelligence units
    collaborating and cooperating
  • A fully strengthened ONS/CISU as a coordinating
    and umbrella organ to foster cooperation and
    joinery of the security sector and to provide
    joint intelligence assessment for informed
    decision making by Government.

  • Final Strength to be determined by SSR
  • Recruitment 100 officers and 300 young soldiers
    yearly
  • Training Continues Overseas and Local

17
RSLAFFORCE DEVELOPMENT
  • UNAMSIL presence allowed successful consolidation
    phase of JFC
  • JFC studying 3 key areas
  • Revising the force concept of operations
  • Formulating a force training policy
  • Establishing a force Ops/Trg Cycle
  • Difficulty RSLAF over committed and
    operationally unfocussed

18
FORCE DEV. (Contd.)
