Policy Blocks

Policies are immutable rules and regulations that are integral to the Force Manual. They firmly establish UNITAF's mandatory standards, shaping member actions, behaviours, and the overall operational ethos. Policies define the non-negotiable boundaries and requirements. Policies are enforced by Unit Command to ensure consistent adherence to established standards and maintain order and structure within UNITAF operations and member conduct. 

For optimal construction, a Policy Block:

• Be easily interpreted: Content should not have a steep learning curve and be readily understandable.
• Be actionable and unambiguous: Should be written in a manner where it is easy to objectively determine whether an action contrary to the policy has occurred or not, with a clearly defined scope of application.
• Be approved: Should only contain content that has been formally agreed upon in accordance with the Units Doctrine and Doctrine Change principles, as breaches of policies are usually investigated.
• Should be considered “must-follow rules” that are officially enforced.
