Recital 19
(19) Where the use of military capacities is considered in support of civil protection operations to be appropriate, cooperation with the military should follow the modalities, procedures and criteria established by the Council or its competent bodies for making available to the Mechanism military capacities relevant to the protection of civilian populations, in particular since there is in some specific cases the need for coordination and cooperation between civilian and military actors when it comes to civil protection and disaster response. Civilian and military chains of command should be kept separate.
