NAVY BENIGN ROLE: Best NDA Coaching in Lucknow

BENIGN ROLE

The ‘benign’ role is so named because violence has no part to play in its execution, nor is the potential to apply force a necessary prerequisite for undertaking these operations. Examples of benign tasks include humanitarian aid, disaster relief, Search and Rescue (SAR), ordnance disposal, diving assistance, salvage operations, hydrographic surveys, etc. Maritime forces, because of their quick mobilization, are especially useful in the early stages of a crisis for providing relief material, first aid, and succor in coastal areas. Much of the capacity to perform these functions are derived from the mobility, reach, and endurance inherent in naval task forces, coupled with their unique sealift capability. For example, in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster, one of the biggest challenges is the disbursement of food, water, and relief material. It is under such conditions that military mobility, coupled with reliable communications are most effective in ensuring distribution to even the most remote afflicted areas. While specialized civilian agencies may take over at a later stage, maritime forces can provide the first helping hand and maybe be deployed to complement their efforts. The Indian Coast Guard is the designated national agency for maritime SAR in the Indian Search and Rescue Region (ISRR). Naval units may also be called upon to undertake SAR operations, as required.
