HUMANITARIAN AID ASSIGNMENTS

PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN MY PTSD

I was deployed more than a few times, in temporary duty (TDY) and “Other

Duties as Assigned” roles relating to humanitarian aid that involved the
rescue of individuals and groups from places other than on “official military
duty assignments” which involved being shot at and requiring the use of
defensive acts to disentangle from the location.

So, what is Humanitarian Aid and how, exactly, is it that U.S. military
personnel are used?
