Civil–Military Collaboration in the Initial Medical Response to the Earthquake in Haiti.

The authors discuss the results of the civil-military collaboration efforts, which was part of the initial medical response from the U.S. to the disastrous earthquake that hit Haiti in January 2010. They say that a couple of days after the earthquake, a medical relief team under the auspices of the nonprofit group International Medical Corps provided emergency medical support, which was made up of emergency nurses and emergency physicians. They also mention how the U.S. military's support was unequivocally integral to the medical mission's success.
