Disaster relief operations have, for many years, been a traditional mission for the United States armed forces when crises occur either at home or abroad. Hurricane relief operations, in particular, have been a significant mission for the military over the past ten years. Yet, given the time-critical nature of hurricane relief operations, military commanders often have little time to plan for the participation of their forces. This paper discusses the applicability of operational design to hurricane relief operations and draws data from the military's participation in four domestic operations (Hugo, Andrew, Iniki and Georges) and two foreign operations (Operation Sea Angel and Hurricane Mitch) over the past ten years. The paper explores the elements of operational design most applicable to hurricane relief operations and discusses how military commanders can best incorporate elements of operational design in executing these operations. Moreover, the paper explores the various relief tasks a military commander must design an operation to accomplish in order to achieve the mission objective.
