This project aims to examine the use of military forces in containing the 2014 West African Ebola outbreak, and its repercussions for future humanitarian assistance operations. The involvement of military personnel in health emergencies has traditionally been controversial, but civil-military cooperation throughout the Ebola outbreak has been widely hailed as a success, potentially establishing a precedent with ramifications for humanitarian practices and Australian military capabilities. This project seeks to inform and enhance future disaster response by better understanding the roles, functions, responsibilities and limits of military assistance in health emergencies to inform future practice.

该项目旨在研究使用军事力量遏制2014年西非埃博拉疫情及其对未来人道主义援助行动的影响。军事人员参与卫生紧急情况历来存在争议，但在整个埃博拉疫情期间，军民合作被广泛誉为成功，可能会建立一个先例，对人道主义做法和澳大利亚的军事能力产生影响。该项目旨在通过更好地了解军事援助在卫生紧急情况中的作用、职能、责任和局限性，为今后的做法提供信息，并加强今后的救灾工作。
