Abstract
The interaction between armed forces and civilian organizations providing
medical and health aid in insecure environments is increasing. Recent examples
include a US-led anti-insurgent Joint Task Force providing disaster relief after
mudslides in the Philippines, the international response to the Asian tsunami and
operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Practitioners and scholars alike have noted
that the rising incidence of civil-military medical assistance increases the need for
better operational coordination and cooperation among the actors in the medical
and health sector of humanitarian assistance.
