dc.description.abstract | To assess the United States Marine Corps (USMC) readiness for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HA/DR) missions, we examined historical data and explored the utility of readiness metrics. The USMC frequently contributes to HA/DR efforts, but evaluating their effectiveness is vital. Our research scrutinized various instances of USMC involvement in HA/DR missions, culminating in the formulation of readiness metrics for the entire USMC. We drew upon pertinent Department of Defense literature, peer-reviewed scholarly journals, military reviews, and historical records related to past disasters where the USMC played a role in disaster response. This study spanned a 12-year timeframe, with a primary focus on the 2013 super typhoon in the Philippines and the 2015 earthquake in Nepal. By analyzing data from previous disasters, we aimed to assess the USMC’s execution and identify areas for improvement, ensuring it is better prepared to address future challenges. These selected disasters were chosen for their higher degree of USMC involvement, enabling us to establish meaningful readiness metrics. | en_US |
