Affordable, sustainable, support to stressed populations
STAR-TIDES promotes affordable, sustainable, support to stressed populations—post-disaster, impoverished, or post-war in a domestic or foreign context for short- or long-term operations, with or without military involvement. It is an international research project to promote unity of effort among diverse organizations where there is no unity of control. As such it seeks to build bridges across boundaries between business, civil society and government stakeholders who are working toward common goals. The principal means are: (1) trust building and social network development, (2) sharing information and “sense-making” approaches and (3) low-cost logistic solutions. We have three goals:
- Enhance the ability of civilian coalitions (business, government and civil society) to operate in stressed environments
- Expand the military's ability to work with civil-military mission partners in these circumstances
- Economize by identifying low-cost logistic solutions and improved sources of supply
