The EU has been recognized for its success in sharing knowledge and experience because it has several expert teams and a range of technologies that can enhance a nation's capacity for disaster management. Choosing to promote the exchange of experience and knowledge in civilian-military cooperation on disasters through the use of AADMER is a smart move. AADMER encourages the member countries to compromise on their individual national security concerns and to accept the idea of domestic and international military teams cooperating with each other. Under SASOP, all military personnel are required to wear an ERAT uniform, thereby illustrating unity amongst team members while reducing differing norms and practices across national lines. Hopefully, third party encouragement for cooperation will reduce conflicts and inconsistencies in operations.
