Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider the role of military during crisis. The
armed forces play an important role in crisis management, especially those of large scale
because of their special expertise, ability and resources. Controversy over the use of military
exists; however, it is necessary to consider their best integration into the crisis
management cycle and to what extent the military model is appropriate. The effective
integration of military into the crisis management matrix will depend on fi nding the right
balance between community involvement and philosophy of crisis management and military
culture. This paper discusses issues such as military pattern of command and control,
constraints on the use of military in crisis management process and a critical assessment
of military approaches in crisis management and potential weaknesses. The conclusion
is that the armed forces can be important in crisis management.
