The core goal of security is to protect the people, territory and sovereignty from threats. Since the nation's threats include both traditional and non-traditional threats, the military should also ensure the security of the nation and its people from these diversified threats. Thus, the task of protecting the people from national disasters, such as the outbreak of massive infectious diseases, which is one of the non-traditional threats, can be said to be one of the main roles of the military considering the concept of changed security and threats. Therefore, the military should pursue an adaptive military equipped with so-called versatility to respond to traditional security threats but also to non-traditional security threats. Disaster management systems, such as large infectious diseases, have five characteristics: boundary, uncertainty, specificity, interactivity and complexity. In response to disasters with these characteristics, the military should seek roles that can be played in the following three dimensions: performance of preventive measures before a disaster occurs, role as an initial response agency in case of a disaster, and restoration and reconstruction activities at the end of the disaster process, and support missions.
