UNITED NATIONS DEPARTMENT OF OPERATIONAL SUPPORT
About Us
UN Peacekeeping Military and Police personnel—the “Blue Helmets” and the “Blue Berets”—have been an integral part of peace operations since 1948.
The uniformed women and men that serve as UN Peacekeepers are seconded to work with the Organization by their national armies and police services (Troop Contributing Countries and Police Contributing Countries (TCCs/PCCs)) in a tour of duty at peacekeeping missions around the world.
The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) branches and the Signal Units of these forces play a key role in the success of peacekeeping operations. Specialized uniformed ICT personnel serve under the blue flag as UN Signals. Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR); and Camp Security capabilities support day-to-day and crisis operations. Together, they act as key enablers and force multipliers to safety and security activities.
UN Signals and C4ISR and Camp Security specialists work alongside UN civilian personnel in the ICT and Geospatial Information Service (GIS) sections of the UN Missions. They augment these capacities and are responsible for the information flow between key elements of the military and police headquarters at Force, Sector, Battalion, and Independent Unit Headquarters levels; mission leadership and civilians—keeping everyone informed and ready to respond.
