Large Contributions - Brigade up to Division • Korea - UNSCR increased public opinion regarding ROK participation from -30° /o to - 70%. ROK government announced 18 OCT that it is prepared "in principle" to send additional forces to Iraq to "support the establishment of peace in Iraq and its rapid post-war reconstruction." Exact size, composition, and timing of this dispatch will be determined by a number of factors to include consultations with the US. Survey teams to be dispatched to Washington, Tampa, and Baghdad. • Pakistan - Musharraf wants GC welcome, Muslim support, and possibly other financial incentives (F-16s, stipend). • India - Public comments oppose participation. • Turkey - Has articulated a number of requests, including a "detailed" military MOU, 1 l< b>< > I representation in CPA, and a US statement on Political Vision for Iraq • Bangladesh - GOB has stated it will only contribute troops to a "blue-helmet" operation; not clear whether UN mandate is sufficient, or whether UN salaries will still be an issue. r.•> j · • Russia - Post - UNSCR: Publicly stated "No Troops" • Germany - Post - UNSCR: Publicly stated "No Troops" .

Require equipment & funding. • Fiji - Offering Infantry Battalion. Require equipment and funding (salaries) • Nepal - Potential offer - 1 Infantry Co. and an EOD team • Morocco - Do not have good idea of requirements (and resulting costs), as Morocco has not yet engaged in mil-mil discussions with CENTCOM. Not clear whether UNSCR provides necessary political cover. • Greece - UNSCR will make it possible for Greece to follow through on its limited offer. • Austria - May require "blue-helmet" operation. • Argentina - Even with a UN mandate, Argentina will require U.S. commitment to pay likely significant expenses. There are also GOA political obstacles. • Finland - Likely to only be able to provide small numbers (though high quality) of troops. • Paraguay- Possible offer, but high financial costs and GOP Congressional approval is necessary. UN resolution removes some political hurdles, although Congressional vote will depend on details and support. • Sweden - Senior MFA officials have reported that Sweden would require an adequate UN mandate to contribute troops to Iraq, but even with such a mandate, current Swedish peacekeeping troop commitments are already taxing its capabilities SECRET Post UNSCR - Way Ahead --·••1111111111 • Determine level of GC involvement • Review financial requirements - Develop by country lift & sustainment funding estimates - Develop funding sources to meet equipment requirements • Determine engagement strategy - Level of approach - Timing • Re-address remaining red lines if required - UN salaries - Nations previously ruled out (Germany, France, Russia) SECRET ·--·--------- --------- .. . . --·••111111111 BACKUPS SECRET . .
