In disaster response, the armed forces are expected to perform a wide spectrum of tasks that reflect their organizational strength, logistical depth, discipline, and technical expertise. Their capabilities extend far beyond combat roles and encompass humanitarian assistance, emergency relief, infrastructure restoration, and coordination with civil authorities. The diverse nature of disasters—ranging from earthquakes, floods, cyclones, landslides, and pandemics to industrial accidents and chemical or radiological incidents—requires a flexible, multi-dimensional response framework, which the armed forces are uniquely structured to provide.
