Task Force Sinai
Task Force Sinai is the U.S. element of the Multinational Force and Observers ("MFO"), the peacekeeping organization in place in the Sinai Peninsula since 1982. The Task Force commander is a U.S. Army colonel, who also serves as the MFO Chief of Staff.[1]
The elements which make up the task force include an infantry battalion, which rotates roughly on an annual basis and which provides peacekeepers to man part of the Zone C sites, a support battalion which was formerly a permanent unit but since 2007 also rotates from U.S. Army assets, and a headquarters staff. The support battalion is responsible for logistics requirements of the Force as a whole. The Explosives Ordnance Disposal detachment, medical unit and Aviation Company are all administered by the Support Battalion.
The 1st Sustainment Command (Theater) serves as the higher headquarters for Task Force Sinai for administrative purposes.
