Summary/Abstract: The author supports the idea that in complex emergencies, military support should be seen as a key component of national resilience. Adequate involvement of military teams in the disaster area can play a vital role in saving human lives, reducing property damages, economic losses and environmental problems. Ensuring good coordination between military and civilian units during disaster response and recovery requires trust among all parties, mutual understanding of objectives and capabilities, joint training and education, legislative development, and more.
