Mica Creek

Mica, Rehob, Hashabiah,

That's me getting mica.

Ma questo camion non é mica mio.

I was off to Scotland to get mica.

And these were steel, mica, plastic, copper and nickel.

So my next thing I was off to Scotland to get mica.

The Department's capacity to provide advice and support to missions on MICA is very limited.

However, compassion and enthusiasm are not enough to ensure the effective and efficient outcomes of MICA.

And mica is a mineral which is a very good insulator and very good at insulating electricity.

OIOS observed that mission staff did not always know where in the Department to seek advice on MICA.

The main military entity responsible for coordinating MICA is the civil military coordination and liaison function at force headquarters.

However, with few exceptions, OIOS was not made aware of such instructions aimed at the tactical level relevant to MICA.

At the mission level, OIOS noted that a shortage of qualified personnel is making it difficult to effectively manage MICA.

Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. All that lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

Lepidolite is a lilac gray or rose colored member of the mica group with formula K(Li,Al,Rb)3(Al,Si)4O10(F,OH)2.

OIOS structured its analysis of MICA along two major activities (a) military support to humanitarian organizations and agencies (HOAs) and (b) CSPs executed by the military.

Other guiding documents prepared by the Department, such as Force Commander directives, refer only briefly to the civil military coordination policy and matters relevant to MICA.

For purposes of the present report, MICA did not include activities related to civil and political affairs, human rights, demining, child protection or disarmament, demobilization and reintegration.

The failure to apply an existing policy to missions has created a lack of conceptual consensus and led to misconceptions about MICA and the civil military coordination function.

With regard to the first category of MICA, OIOS noted that the most frequent request from HOAs for military support was for information pertaining to security conditions on the ground.

The two areas of MICA differ in that the support for humanitarian activities is provided on request from HOAs, whereas CSPs are generally initiated and carried out by the military component itself.

For this to succeed, close interaction between the Civil military Coordination Section, and the Policy Development and Studies Branch and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations on the issue of MICA is essential.

Increased MICA put on the agenda issues regarding the coordination of such assistance with overall mission objectives and the enhancement of its effectiveness and efficiency, which the present report addresses in four subject areas.

Although liaison officers in the Military Division are extremely dedicated to the issue, they are covering a range of other activities and their job descriptions do not include support for peacekeeping operations on MICA or civil military coordination.
