Civil-Military Relations and Effective Foreign Assistance
Email this Page Printer Friendly
In recent years, the U.S. military has taken on a greatly expanded role in humanitarian missions, recovery and even development, as the civilian institutions and agencies of the U.S. government have failed to meet new challenges in these areas. We support more effective civil-military coordination, the development of civilian leadership in overseas assistance policy and aid programs, and the identification of appropriate parameters for military engagement on humanitarian and development issues.
