Book Description

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) supports worldwide humanitarian assistance activities as part of military operations other than war (MOOTW). This study is a qualitative and quantitative analysis of one aspect of MOOTW: the DOD Humanitarian and Civic Assistance (HCA) Program. This analysis defines and evaluates the HCA program in the context of MOOTW and proposes the emergence of several trends as well as challenges. This study also assesses the purposes and limits of HCA (under Title 10, United States Code) and differentiates between humanitarian assistance (HA) and HCA. Current trends highlight past, present, and potential benefits of this program. Challenges involve: implementing program improvements; measuring program performance and effectiveness; and defining military roles relevant to training, long term benefits, and the politico-military interface. Methodology for this study includes: (1) a literature review, (2) analysis of a 1993-94 U.S. Government General Accounting Office (GAO) report entitled Department of Defense: Weaknesses in Humanitarian and Civic Assistance Programs, (3) analysis of program data, (4) evaluation of medical after-action reports, and (5) interviews with personnel involved in various aspects of HCA. Reports on medical HCA conducted in USSOUTHCOM by medics associated with Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) serve to tie together the interrelated themes of this study and support conclusions relevant to trends, benefits, challenges, suggested improvements, and suggested areas for future research.

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

Book Description

Since its creation in 1963, United States Southern Command has been led by 30 senior officers representing all four of the armed forces. None has undertaken his leadership responsibilities with the cultural sensitivity and creativity demonstrated by Admiral Jim Stavridis during his tenure in command. Breaking with tradition, Admiral Stavridis discarded the customary military model as he organized the Southern Command Headquarters. In its place he created an organization designed not to subdue adversaries, but instead to build durable and enduring partnerships with friends. His observation that it is the business of Southern Command to launch "ideas not missiles" into the command's area of responsibility gained strategic resonance throughout the Caribbean and Central and South America, and at the highest levels in Washington, DC.

Book Description

Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 provides guidelines on developing emergency operations plans (EOP). It promotes a common understanding of the fundamentals of risk-informed planning and decision making to help planners examine a hazard or threat and produce integrated, coordinated, and synchronized plans. The goal of CPG 101 is to make the planning process routine across all phases of emergency management and for all homeland security mission areas. This Guide helps planners at all levels of government in their efforts to develop and maintain viable all-hazards, all-threats EOPs. Accomplished properly, planning provides a methodical way to engage the whole community in thinking through the life cycle of a potential crisis, determining required capabilities, and establishing a framework for roles and responsibilities. It shapes how a community envisions and shares a desired outcome, selects effective ways to achieve it, and communicates expected results. Each jurisdiction's plans must reflect what that community will do to address its specific risks with the unique resources it has or can obtain.
