Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: The increasing frequency of international disasters necessitates robust military-civilian collaboration, often requiring the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to augment civilian humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) capacity and support U.S. geopolitical objectives.
METHODS: A retrospective quantitative analysis was performed on 149 international HADR events involving DoD support between 1997 and 2024. Data were collated from U.S. Department of State records and narrative reports from the DoD. Events were categorized by geographic area, disaster type, and alignment with the United Nations Humanitarian Cluster System.
RESULTS: The DoD supported HADR efforts in 68 countries, with the Philippines, Iraq, and Indonesia being the most frequent recipients. More than 50% of events occurred in South America and the Indo-Pacific. The most common triggers for support were earthquakes, complex emergencies, and tropical cyclones. Mapping activities to the UN Cluster System revealed that the DoD primarily provided support for Logistics, Early Recovery, and Health.
CONCLUSIONS: Following major disasters, rapid deployment of DoD capabilities was indispensable in austere environments where civilian federal organizations and local governments were overwhelmed, incapacitated, or nonexistent. Addressing data deficiencies and coordinating military-civilian readiness are critical for enhancing the effectiveness of future responses.
