Military administration identifies both the techniques and systems used by military departments, agencies, and armed services involved in managing the armed forces. It describes the processes that take place withinmilitary organisations outsidecombat, particularly in managingmilitary personnel, theirtraining, and services they are provided with as part of their military service.
In cases ofmilitary government, for example during amilitary occupation, the management and control of civilians, and provision of services to them, may also be in scope.
In many ways military administration serves the same role as public administration in the civil society, and is often cited as a source of bureaucracy in the government as a whole. Given the wide area of application, military administration is often qualified by specific areas of application within the military, such aslogistics administration, administration ofdoctrine development or military reform administration.[1]
