In Canada, there is a distinction made between "aid to the civil power" and "assistance to civil authorities". The former term refers to military aid provided to the provincial police forces to restore and maintain law and order. The latter term encompasses all other forms of assistance the military gives to the civil community. Examples include search and rescue operations, counter-terrorism response, emergencies (natural and man-induced), fisheries and border protection, humanitarian assistance, counter-drug operations, arms smuggling, illegal immigrants, environmental surveillance and special events.

OBS

In the United Kingdom, the term "military aid to the civil authorities" is a broad concept encompassing "military aid to the civil power", "military aid to other government departments" and "military aid to the civil community".

OBS

In the United States, the scope of military assistance to civil authorities is more restricted than in other countries. The term "military assistance to civil authorities (MACA)" is used to include "military support to civil authorities (MSCA)" and "military assistance for civil disturbances (MACDIS)". The concepts represented by these terms are particular to the U.S. and their use should be reserved for American contexts.
