Funded Activity Summary

Evaluating military assistance in health emergencies. This project aims to examine the use of military forces in containing the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak, and its repercussions for future humanitarian assistance operations. The involvement of military personnel in health emergencies has traditionally been controversial, but civil-military cooperation throughout the Ebola outbreak has been widely hailed as a success, potentially establishing a precedent with ramifications for humanitarian practices and Australian military capabilities. This project seeks to inform and enhance future disaster response by better understanding the roles, functions, responsibilities and limits of military assistance in health emergencies to inform future practice.
