Established by troop-contributing nations to explore the option of creating a rapid deployment force within the framework of the UNSAS, and thus safeguarding national sovereignty issues; a number of Member States can, by forming an affiliation between appropriate contributions to the UNSAS, make a pre-established Multinational UN Stand-by Forces High-Readiness Brigade available to the UN, thus providing a rapid deployment capability for deployments of a limited duration; employment of the Brigade mandated by the Security Council will be subject to approval by the participating nations for their individual troop contributions, thereby satisfying the government's national obligations.
