just a fyi
everyone in the military is trained for disaster relief and it is the us military that are usaly the first responders over seas, in fact they are usally theri days if not weeks beofre anyone else in teh world can get there

I honestly don't know how the US military is organized but i would expect that you have specialized groups who really who are not just trained a bit but really know what they are doing, pioneers or something like that.

Germany for example has a civilian disaster relief organization, the THW (Technisches Hilfswerk). But in any case, disaster relief is something different than an infrastructure construction business. Maybe that business can still do along with unskilled construction workers but I would be hard pressed to think that skilled full time workers are a lot more efficient.
