ANNEX E.1: STRUCTURAL ARRANGEMENT OF THE I DEFENCE AND SECURITY COMMITTEE (ISDSC)

The document provides a structural breakdown of the I Defence and Security Committee (ISDSC), illustrating a hierarchy that descends from a Ministerial Committee to various technical sub-sub-committees. It specifies functional areas such as operations, intelligence, and logistics, and assigns leadership or oversight of specific sub-committees to different member states, including Angola, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

• The ISDSC is organized into three primary tiers of authority: the Ministerial Committee, the State/Defence Sub-Committee (Chiefs Level), and various Functional, Professional, and Standing Sub-Sub Committees (Technical Level).
• Specific technical and professional sub-committees are managed by different countries: Angola oversees the Logistic sub-sub-sub-committee, Namibia manages the Lawyers Association, and South Africa is responsible for Flight Safety and CISM/ESALO sports.
• Zambia holds responsibility for multiple technical areas, including the Operations Standing Aviation sub-sub-sub-committee, the Chaplains Committee, and the Medical Association.
