The modern cast of disaster relief actors includes host nations, non-governmental organisations, private volunteer organisations, military organisations and others. Each group, civilian or military, has valuable skills and experiences critical to disaster relief work. The goal of this paper is to supplement the study of civil-military relief efforts with contemporary anecdotal experience. The paper examines the interaction between US military forces and other disaster relief actors during the 2005 Kashmir earthquake relief effort. The author uses direct observations made while working in Pakistan to contrast the relationships and activities from that effort with other accounts in prevailing scholarly disaster literature and military doctrine. Finally, this paper suggests that the Kashmir model of integration, coordination and transparency of intent creates a framework in which future humanitarian assistance operations could be successfully executed. Recommendations to improve civil-military interaction in future relief efforts will also be addressed.
现代救灾行动者包括主办国、非政府组织、私营志愿组织、军事组织等。每个组织，无论是平民还是军人，都有对救灾工作至关重要的宝贵技能和经验。本文的目的是用当代轶事经验补充对军民联合救灾工作的研究。本文考察了美国军队与其他救灾行动者在 2005 年克什米尔地震救灾工作中的互动。作者利用在巴基斯坦工作时的直接观察，将那次救灾工作中的关系和活动与流行的学术灾害文献和军事学说中的其他说法进行对比。最后，本文认为，克什米尔模式在意图的整合、协调和透明度方面创造了一个框架，未来的人道主义援助行动可以在此框架内成功执行。本文还将提出改善未来救灾工作中军民互动的建议。
