The COE and MOU Management Review Board (CMMRB) is a mission-level decision-making body to ensure an integrated and systematic approach in executing contingent-owned equipment (COE) and memorandum of understanding (MOU) management and control functions in the mission. The CMMRB provides cross-functional guidance on the assessment of COE and periodically reviews the capabilities of contingents..

The CMMRB meets at least once per quarter. Its counterpart at Headquarters is the Headquarters COE and MOU Management Review Board.

    • Formed Police Unit Coordinator
    • Chief, Service Delivery and/or Chief, Supply Chain Management

  • Assessing the compliance of both the mission and contingents with their responsibilities under their MOUs.
  • Reviewing mission-specific requirements, standards and scales of issue for facilities, equipment and supplies associated with self-sustainment categories
  • Ensuring adherence to the established COE verification and reporting procedures and reviewing mission SOPs to ensure conformity with the requirements of the COE Manual.

  • Recommending amendments to MOU to include items of major equipment deployed in lieu of major equipment agreed in an MOU if such equipment has similar capability/performance or meets the operational requirement.
  • Periodically reviewing, at least once every 3 years, mission factors for confirmation or recommendation for adjustments.
  • Reviewing the requirement for explosive ordinance disposal requirements under self-sustaiment 18 months after deployment.
  • Resolving disputes with the contingent representatives on COE/MOU related issues that cannot be resolved at the working level.
  • Reviewing the findings on whether absent or non-functional major equipment due to reasons beyond the control of the troop- or police-contributing country.
  • Reviewing, based on operational requirements within the mission, the potential rotation at United Nations expense of eligible equipment that is no longer operable, for which continued maintenance is not economical in the mission area and which has been deployed for more than its estimated useful life.
