Response to DQ2

According to (Kapucu, 2016), several scholarly works have been documented, heightening military involvement in response too natural and or man-made disasters, due in part to both historical factors about the military responding too domestic and or international catastrophes abroad. Though the military’s primary role is to safeguard out nation from external threats, the United States Military has become one of the main partners too federal, state, and local agencies when responding to a disaster (Kapucu, 2016). According to (Banks 2004), The military plays a domestic role and also provides support during peace keeping operations to both state and local governments by offering transportation, communication, and logistics (Kapucu, 2016). Schrader (1993) defines three response sectors that the military is very capable of assuming, especially during a disaster mission. They provide special skills for response operations, they have advanced communication when it comes to disaster command and control, and they are experts when it comes to organizing forces to provide overall support while serving a number of actions (Kapucu, 2016).
