PL106-426 provided for non-lethal assistance to the NDA, such as blankets, medicine, fuel, mobile clinics, water equipment, communications equipment to notify civilians of aerial bombardment, non-military vehicles and tents.

ICI Foundation was awarded a sub grant of $1M to provide medical training to the NDA and establish mobile medical clinics to be deployed in the forward areas of the war. The NDA severely lacked capability and assets in the area of emergency medicine, relying instead on the scarce resources of aid organizations operating in the South, which were rarely active in the forward areas.The medical personnel trained were to be placed in the forward areas in order to provide medical attention to both civilian and military wounded regardless of affiliation.
