Issues, Challenges and Observations
![Page 35: Perspectives on Civil-Military Cooperation in International Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance TIEMS Conference Orlando, Florida May 17, 2000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec45/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Structural issues and challenges
• Commonalities and differences in needs of the CINCdoms
• Sustainability of COE’s and financing
• Perceived incompatibility of missions and corporate cultures between the civilian and military organizations
![Page 36: Perspectives on Civil-Military Cooperation in International Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance TIEMS Conference Orlando, Florida May 17, 2000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec45/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Observations
• Bi-lateralism and the increased competition among organizational actors has had some positive effects on DR/HA
• Nature of military involvement in DR/HA is highly dependent on the personality and agenda of the CINC
• COE’s can enhance civil-military cooperation and collaboration, especially in light of high personnel turnover and the need for numerous bridges to the civilian world
![Page 37: Perspectives on Civil-Military Cooperation in International Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance TIEMS Conference Orlando, Florida May 17, 2000.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e4a5503460f94b3ec45/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
