When disaster strikes and causes a humanitarian crisis, the response must be immediate, appropriate and well organised to ensure that the suffering in the affected area is alleviated. While the primary responsibility for disaster relief lies with civilian agencies, only the military has the manpower, equipment and logistics necessary to coordinate a large-scale relief effort.

In this month’s special focus we explore the military’s vital role in humanitarian assistance and investigate what it takes to deliver effective disaster relief in challenging environments.
