MARHALIM Abas

Military involvement in HADR missions/ Marhalim Abas - 2013

The military has been involved in disaster relief since the end of World War II. The recent disasters that wrought upon by Super Typhoon Haiyan on the Philippines initiated one of the biggest Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Response (HADR) operations in the region since the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. The disasters have highlighted how useful certain military capabilities can be when first responders find themselves overwhelmed.
