Civil-military relations are a result of the simultaneous presence of military, governmental, and humanitarian organizations on a common battlefield. At its heart, the problem in civil-military relations is synchronizing three fundamentally different groups not only to coexist, but to work together with complementary effects. Created in 1993, the US Humanitarian Demining Program is a collaboration between the US Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the US Agency for International Development establishing support to an international response to the global threat of landmines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe changing security environment following the end of the Cold War increased military commitment to humanitarian operations and exacerbated the challenge when coupled with a downsizing of the United States military capability. The problem for the US military is addressing the persistent global threat of landmines during a time of increasing military commitments and decreasing military resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMultiple theories of civil-military relations allow a critical analysis of the Humanitarian Demining Program in cases in Afghanistan and Kosovo. Perceptions from the people, government, and military add greater depth to the understanding of tensions in civil-military relations. This understanding leads to the conclusion that focusing on civil-military relations allows the Department of Defense to leverage interorganizational capabilities to mitigate increasing military requirements in times of decreasing resources while increasing the effectiveness of the HDP.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Progressive Management","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180107841776,"sku":"2940154037317","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940154037317_p0.jpg?v=1764062637","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940154037317","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
