The role of military forces in emergency management (civil-military interaction).

Those involved in emergency response and recovery, including the military, require an acute level of awareness of livelihoods that rely on livestock and their associated implications for human security. Emergencies cause injury and death and devastate livestock-based livelihoods, a key characteristic of the lives of many of the world's rural poor. The role for military forces in emergency management is expanding, and this can cause friction during an emergency due to competing agendas and objectives.
