Who's in Charge Here. Civil-Military Coordination in Humanitarian Assistance; Final rept

摘要

Recent humanitarian assistance/disaster relief missions highlight the challenges of coordinating with non-military agencies and demonstrate that U.S. military participation in these missions is best suited to a first- responder mindset. To enable this limited but essential role, the military and NGOs must improve in areas of information sharing and coordination at the operational-tactical level. Civil-military experience gained during HA/DR mission can also improve interaction in other scenarios and contribute to improving security at the theater-strategic level.
