  * Providing funded and space available transportation of humanitarian and relief supplies.
  * Conducting some DOD humanitarian demining assistance activities.
  * Conducting foreign consequence management.
  1-129. Army units sometimes provide direct support to humanitarian operations. For example, in extreme
  situations and as a last resort, humanitarian actors may request direct assistance such as escorts from Army
  units for humanitarian teams delivering aid. In such cases, humanitarian use of military assets should seek
  to comply with international guidance designed to safeguard humanitarian actors and the people they seek
  to assist. Where humanitarian actors are not present or able to help people in need, Army units may be
  temporarily involved in the actual delivery of essential goods and services until other actors are able to
  assume the role. While Army units may become directly involved in humanitarian assistance as a last resort
  under extreme circumstances, normally these units contribute to an environment conducive to humanitarian
  action by—
  * Establishing and maintaining general security, thus providing space in which humanitarian
  actors can operate.
  * Providing situational awareness regarding such issues as the location, number, and condition of
  civilians in need.
  * Providing information on potential threats.
  * Providing communications support.
  * Supporting planning efforts.
  * Providing security at storage sites and during transload operations, transportation, and
  distribution.
  * Improving or building infrastructure capability for transportation and delivery of humanitarian
  assistance.
  * Providing transportation support (including helicopter transport and airfield operations).
  * Providing equipment (such as materials handling equipment) and operators.
  * Synchronizing information-related capabilities.
  * Providing required technical expertise with selected Soldiers or units (such as medical,
  construction, water purification, graves registration, and interpreter expertise).
  Types of Foreign Humanitarian Assistance Activities
  1-130. Foreign humanitarian assistance activities conducted by U.S. forces span the range of military
  operations but are most often crisis response and limited contingency operations. A single foreign
  humanitarian assistance activity may well contain more than one of the following missions:
  * Foreign disaster relief.
  * Dislocated civilian support.
  * Security missions.
  * Technical assistance support functions.
  * Foreign consequence management.
  1-131. Foreign disaster relief missions include prompt aid that alleviates the suffering of disaster victims.
  Dislocated civilian support missions support assistance and protection for dislocated civilians. Dislocated
  civilian is a broad term primarily used by the Department of Defense that includes a displaced person, an
  evacuee, an internally displaced person, a migrant, a refugee, or a stateless person (JP 3-29). Security
  missions may include establishing and maintaining conditions to support humanitarian efforts by
  organizations of the world relief community. Technical assistance and support functions may include short-
  term support tasks such as communications restoration, relief supply distribution management and delivery,
  port operations, base operating support, emergency medical care, search and rescue, and humanitarian
  demining assistance. (For further information regarding humanitarian demining assistance, see appendix B
  of JP 3-29.) Foreign consequence management is U.S. Government activity to help friends and allies
  mitigate the effects of a CBRN incident. (For further information regarding foreign consequence
  management, see JP 3-41.) Army leaders apply the practical guidelines summarized in table 1-1 for Army
  support to foreign humanitarian assistance.
