Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil-Military Interface in Domestic Disaster Response and a Case Study of Chaplain Involvement in Disaster Response Operations Implications for the Chaplain Planner Historical Background. In the early nineteenth century the federal government provided no assistance for victims of disaster. Nor did many local agencies or voluntary groups exist to provide aid.1 When self help failed most victims found themselves destitute. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, shortly after the Civil War, the war Department took the first steps to organize disaster relief because of the overruling demands of humanity. 2 One of the earliest instruments for disaster relief was the Army. After World war I, disputes arose between the Army and the Red Cross over the authority in relief operations and between the Army and Congress over the funding of relief activities.3 Combined with the economic effects of the great depression the Army role in disaster relief again declined.
