| Publisher Description: Foreign humanitarian assistance (FHA) activitiesconducted by US Armed Forces range from steadystate program activities supporting geographic combatant commanders (GCC) security cooperation and related programs to conducting limited contingency operations in support of another United States Government (USG) department or agency. FHA activities include foreign disaster relief (FDR) and other activities that directly address a humanitarianneed. FHA operations can be supported by otheractivities conducted by US military forces or they may be conducted concurrently with other types of related operations and activities such as dislocated civilian support, security operations, and foreign consequence management. FHA operations (including FDR operations) are normally conducted in support of the United States Agency for International Development(USAID) or the Department of State (DOS).FHA provided by US forces is limited in scope andduration; designed to supplement or complement the efforts of the host nation (HN) that has the primary responsibility for providing that assistance; and may support other USG departments or agencies. Although US military forces are organized, trained, and equippedto conduct military operations that defend and protect US national interests, their inherent, unique capabilities may be used to conduct FHA activities. |
