Book Description
"Throughout the history of the United States military, the nation's leaders have used the armed forces to assist with both domestic and overseas humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, but it is only in the past 10 years, that national strategic documents have identified these operations as a primary mission for the U.S. military. With this elevation of disaster relief operations to a primary military mission, critics have raised a number of concerns with the use of military forces for these operations. Of these concerns, division of training focus has been a dominant recurring theme. While these concerns deserve due consideration, there are also potential benefits to the warfighting readiness of participating military forces that can mitigate or even outweigh the negative consequences. Therefore, this paper argues that although some combat skill sets will degrade over a unit's extended employment for disaster relief operations, with proper doctrine and force assignment, other joint warfighting skills will be exercised and enhanced, generally resulting in an overall stronger warfighting readiness for the participating units. To explore this thesis, this paper evaluates three case studies: Operation Unified Assistance, Operation Unified Response, and Operation Tomodachi. The research shows that although they do not employ all of the skill required for combat, disaster relief operations are complex contingency operations that provide unique training opportunities while furthering U.S. national interests. In a budget environment of decreasing resources for dedicated training, it is vital that the armed forces leverage these operations for maximum training benefit while remaining cognizant of mitigations required to maintain full-spectrum combat capability."--Abstract

Book Description
Foreign Humanitarian Assistance, Joint Publication 3-29, 14 May 2019 This publication provides fundamental principles and guidance to plan, execute, and assess foreign humanitarian assistance operations. This publication has been prepared under the direction of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS).

Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these paperbacks as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound paperback, full-size (8 1/2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. 4th Watch Publishing Co. is a HUBZONE SDVOSB. https: //usgovpub.com

Pages : 202
Book Description
Foreign humanitarian assistance (FHA) activities conducted by US Armed Forces range from steadystate program activities supporting geographic combatant commanders (GCC) security cooperation and related programs to conducting limited contingency operations in support of another United States Government (USG) department or agency. FHA activities include foreign disaster relief (FDR) and other activities that directly address a humanitarian need. FHA operations can be supported by other activities conducted by US military forces or they may be conducted concurrently with other types of related operations and activities such as dislocated civilian support, security operations, and foreign consequence management. FHA operations (including FDR operations) are normally conducted in support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) or the Department of State (DOS). FHA provided by US forces is limited in scope and duration; designed to supplement or complement the efforts of the host nation (HN) that has the primary responsibility for providing that assistance; and may support other USG departments or agencies. Although US military forces are organized, trained, and equipped to conduct military operations that defend and protect US national interests, their inherent, unique capabilities may be used to conduct FHA activities.

Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309489539
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
