Joint military doctrine has yet to bridge the gap between lessons
learned from U.S. domestic disaster relief and application for
international disaster relief. The National Response Framework
stresses the need for a response architecture emphasizing the rapid
regeneration of local capacity for self-organization. Areas
catastrophically disrupted by essentially fault-less chaos began
with an infrastructure for governance whose restoration and
improvement lies at the heart of the matter. Minding the
relationships existing prior to the disaster and building upon them
with military forces that act in concert with other organizations
provides a robust framework for achieving national objectives. This
study provides a broad operational-level survey of the conditions
for the U.S. military response to the Indonesian Tsunami in 2004,
Operation Unified Assistance, and to the Bangladesh Cyclone in
2007, Operation Sea Angel II, observed in relation to the concepts
advocated in Joint Publication 3-07.6 Techniques, Tactics, and
Procedures for Foreign Humanitarian Assistance. Bridging the divide
between a military culture founded on command and control and a
civilian culture dependent on collaboration and cooperation would
present opportunities within the complex joint, multi-national, and
inter-agency arena. Getting it right in international disaster
relief creates a solid foundation for less permissive environments.
