Military Response to Natural Disasters and National Emergencies
What is the proper relationship between civilian and military responders? How can personnel of armed Services, governmental agencies, and nongovernmental organizations cooperate most effectively in emergency situations? How much power and authority should be granted to national militaries operating within their own nations or within the international humanitarian system? Should militaries be considered humanitarian actors? What are the potential implications of this designation? Given these complex questions and considerations, and in recognition of the historic and contemporary role that militaries play in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, the editors have devoted this issue of the Journal of Advanced Military Studies to military responses to national emergencies and natural catastrophes. In the articles that follow, contributing authors explore this topic from multiple angles, analyzing a variety of specific case studies from diverse disciplinary perspectives. Collectively, these articles begin to address some of the questions raised above while, at the same time, prompting new questions to consider and arguments to debate.
