<br/><br/> During the 1990s there was rapid growth of Western military involvement in complex emergency operations requiring cooperation with relief agencies. This article suggests that despite the experience gained the military have failed to take account of the skills and capabilities of relief agencies. As a result operations are often needlessly chaotic resulting at best in wasted time and effort, at worst in loss of life and additional suffering. (Adpated from author's summary).
