The NGO/Military Relationship and Complex Contingencies: A Tool Review

Abstract

The U.S. military is now involved in interagency coordination with other government offices, Non-Governmental Organizations, Private Volunteer Organizations and International Organizations to an extent undreamed of in 1990. This is a review of factors driving that involvement and, as a result, the tools that are developing for interagency coordination in cases of complex contingencies with a focus primarily on the NGO-military relationship. The review includes a critique of the tools and recommendations on how those tools should be used. It concludes with suggestions on how to improve the process, focusing primarily on the contributions made by the Center Of Excellence Disaster Management and Humanitarian Affairs.
