Abstract
Title : A study of the Capability of the Armed Forces of
Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States
of America to Deliver Domestic Disaster Relief
Operations as a Distinct Military Task
Field : Strategy
Name : Colonel Roger Lewis, British Army. Course : NDC
Class : 59
The primary reason that most nation states raise, equip and maintain
an armed force is to protect and defend themselves against threats to their
safety and very existence. Those threats are usually, inter alia, violent,
virtual or environmental and governments will place a wide-range of
requirements on their armed forces as a result. If those demands are not
matched by appropriate resources then, to avoid inevitable failure at the
point of greatest need, prioritisation of use will be required.
When not engaged in warfighting operations, armed forces are
frequently tasked to support domestic Disaster Relief Operations – this is
the case in Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States –
however, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution or ‘correct answer’ to the
question “what will we need, and when will we need it?” The purpose of
this research paper is thus to consider if the demand signal placed upon the
militaries of the three subject nations can be met, and if the logic train
from the National Risk Register is valid. To achieve this, the paper
considers 3 primary questions, namely: What is the nature and scale of the
most likely domestic DR Operation ‘threat scenarios’ in Thailand, the
United Kingdom and the United States? Against this backdrop, what
have/will the armed forces of each country be asked to do? And, to what
extent can they meet the requirement set? An analysis of the results, using
Defence Lines of Development and the Disaster Management Cycle as a
prism, leads to a graphic representation of each nation’s situation and
attendant recommendations for improvement.
Key words: Disaster relief operations; supply and demand; Disaster
management cycle; Defence lines of development; National risk register;
threat scenarios; Thailand; United Kingdom; United States of America;
armed forces; military.
