Committee Agenda and Structure

Military Staff Committee is designed to test and polish crisis resolving skills of the delegates

participating. Spontaneity, eloquence, creativity and critical analysis skills would be crucial in

order to move forward and achieve excellence. The committee would also challenge the

aptitude of the delegates in the wake of an immediate crisis.

Agenda:

Originally a subcommittee of the UNSC, Military Staff Committee is designated to oversee UN

missions abroad. However the Military Staff Committee at RYMUN will be having crises

situations which will be relevant to the entire global community. Delegates will be expected to

solve the crisis and pass a resolution. The scope of the crisis cannot be revealed before the

conference but in order to prepare, delegates should familiarize themselves with the following:

1) Inter Military Co-operation/Alliances (Regional as well as International such as NATO ,NORAD

and ISAF )

2) Role of your allotted personality in the National Military Command.

3) Strategic interests of your Armed Forces, regionally and internationally.

4) Modern Warfare (types and specifications)

5) General Military Structures (including operational and administrative)

Since information pertaining to the Armed Forces and their components is not as readily

available as other organizations, the committee dais would expect the delegates to be familiar

with their respective militarys hierarchy and some basic military terms.
