Subject: Presents the results of an inquiry into the role of the U.S. intelligence community in supporting U.S. humanitarian and disaster relief operations conducted abroad by U.S. military forces. It identifies the "consumers" of intelligence information for disaster relief operations, determines their information requirements, assesses the intelligence community's capability to provide such information, and offers recommendations. The inquiry focused on humanitarian emergencies caused by natural or technological disasters, and discovered that both policy makers and field operators need significantly greater intelligence information regarding humanitarian emergency issues. At the same time, the level of commitment from the intelligence community for providing information is uneven at best and does not meet the needs of the relief agencies
