The coordinated and combined use of military and civilian resources in response to large-scale natural disasters have not been frequent or well documented. Historically, the overall efficacy and successes of such endeavors are mixed. The benefits of early decisive military leadership, time-phased implementation of resources, a stratified assistance program, and a working relationship is illustrated during the tragic Asian tsunami disaster of 2004 to 2005. The tasking of III Marine Expeditionary Force and my experience as Joint Task Force Surgeon suggest deliberate civil-military planning is beneficial and can significantly reduce human suffering.
应对大规模自然灾害时，军事资源与民用资源的协同与联合使用并不常见，相关记载也不多。从历史来看，此类行动的整体成效参差不齐。2004年至2005年亚洲海啸灾难期间，早期果断的军事领导、分阶段实施资源、分层援助计划以及合作关系的益处得到了体现。第三海军陆战队远征部队的任务安排以及我作为联合特遣部队外科医生的经历表明，精心制定的军民合作计划是有益的，能够显著减轻人类的痛苦。
