Prolonged military involvement in humanitarian crisis management challenges subsidiarity and military exceptionality, necessitating a structured civilian transition. This article therefore develops a strategic modelfor the gradual transfer of military operational functions to specialized civilian institutions. Employing a comprehensive qualitative multiple case study, it comparatively analyzes Brazil's Operation Acolhida, national (São Francisco), and international experiences (Somalia, Libya, Mali). Data derived from detailed documentary analysis and theoretical review. The study identifies key factors for successful military-to-civilian functional transfer, proposing a structured framework for progressive replacement of military leadership. Grounded in inter-institutional planning, clear competency delineation, and effective local capacity building, this model contributes to defense public policy and civil-military management, fostering sustainable, legitimate, and democratically accountable humanitarian operations and civil-military management through civilian primacy.
