Not sure if it would be helpful, but I&#x27;d love to do a charity someday which focused on providing infrastructure services (power, communications, medical support (testing and other things to make local doctors more effective), logistics, data, maybe utility restoration) in disaster and especially conflict zones.  Essentially what the US Military can accomplish on its own bases, as a service for other NGOs (easier) and for local population (harder).  Being able to secure part of an airfield, run logistics and communications which are head ends for domestic infrastructure, would be a huge improvement in quality of life for the civilians stuck in these places.<p>There&#x27;s a void in the NGO and commercial space between people who do good stuff, and people who can provide security and operate in denied areas.  Some orgs like MSF can operate in semi-permissive environments, but not as well as states can.  There are a lot of downsides to state involvement in this kind of thing -- unless you&#x27;re neutral, it&#x27;s really hard to get involved in a lot of conflicts, and states are pretty horrible at providing IT services in general, and have all kinds of incentives to scale too big&#x2F;inefficiently.
