Operationalize, contextualize principles & concepts of global Guidelines.
Assist humanitarian, military and other governmental actors in principled, coherent, appropriate, effective coordination across the facets of humanitarian action.

To meet the needs of affected people through humanitarian civil-military interaction, the Standards are tailored to inform the actions of:
Governments of affected states / organizations receiving FMA in support of humanitarian operations.
Assisting states providing foreign military technical, material or financial/commercial support to humanitarian operations.
Humanitarian organizations that interact with, receive support from and share the same operating environment with the above.
… for a commonly agreed approach to decision-making, information sharing, employment and transition of military assets in support of humanitarian operations.
