This research aims at analyzing civil-military cooperation in 2018 Lombok earthquake disaster emergency response and its affecting factors using qualitative method with primary and secondary data types. Interviews, observations, and documentations are conducted in order to collect data. This research analyzes civil-military cooperation process from the aspects of legal, organizational and governance, and operational. The result of the research shows that there was a difference in the aspect of command system used in the cooperation. The civil used agreement-based command system while military used hierarchical command system so that the military tended to be more dominant.

Civil-military cooperation was initiated to fill gaps between civil and military using military resources. Thus, civil-military cooperation in 2018 Lombok earthquake disaster emergency response needed a better coordination and communication by providing a legal stand through local/governor's regulations that accommodate all resources in West Nusa Tenggara province to cope with types of threats.
