Povzetek Koncept vojaške družine je prepoznan in preučevan v mednarodnem akademskem ter raziskovalnem okolju. Ni pa primerljivo uporabljan v različnih državah. Namen članka je razpravljati in razvijati koncept “vojaških družin” ter analizirati situacije, s katerimi se te družine spoprijemajo v vsakodnevnem življenju, v Estoniji, Sloveniji in na Švedskem. Osvetlili smo nekatere podobnosti in razlike, ki izhajajo iz kulturnih, družbenih in vojaških posebnosti posamezne države. Naštete vplivajo in sooblikujejo identifikacijo družine kot vojaške ter tudi prepoznavanje družine kot vojaške v širši družbi. Slednje vpliva tudi na razvoj in obliko podpore ter storitev, namenjenih vojaškim družinam v posamezni državi. Ključne besede vojaška družina, socialna podpora in storitve, Estonija, Švedska, Slovenija. Abstract The concept “military family” is very well known in the international academic sphere, but is not a widely used term in many countries. The aim of this article is to elaborate the concept of the military family and the situation of these families in Estonia, Slovenia and Sweden. The similarities and differences between these three countries are highlighted by showing how the cultural, social and military context may influence and shape the recognition of military families, services and support provision. Key words military family, services and social support, Estonia, Sweden, Slovenia.

Povzetek Prispevek predstavlja zgodovinski pregled odnosa med vojaško družino in vojaško organizacijo, od prepovedi, zanikanja in nadzora do vključitve v vojaško skupnost. Prelomnica v obravnavanju družine je prehod na poklicno popolnjevanje, ko postane lojalnost družine do vojske bistvena za pridobivanje in zadrževanje vojaškega osebja. Hkrati je vojaška družina postala zanimiva vojaškosociološka tematika raziskovanja, tako v kontekstu sociološkega koncepta požrešnih institucij kot v dihotomiji ravnotežja med delom in življenjem. Vojske, ki so nastajale na slovenskih tleh skozi zgodovino, so sledile svetovnim trendom glede obravnave družin, slovenski vojaški sociologi pa so prispevali pomemben delež spoznanj o slovenskih vojaških družinah h globalnim vojaškosociološkim dosežkom. Ključne besede Vojaška družina, zgodovina odnosa med družino in vojsko, celostna skrb za pripadnike SV, raziskovanje vojaških družin v vojaški sociologiji. Abstract This article presents the history of relations between the military family and the military organization, which have varied from forbiddance, to ignorance, regulation, and finally to inclusion in the military community. The turning point appeared at a time of introducing all volunteer force when the loyalty of families towards the military became important for recruitment and retention of service members. This was also the moment for military sociology to discover the military families as interesting to deploy the general sociological concepts of greedy institutions, work-life balance, negotiation between military and family, etc. The militaries in Slovenian territory followed these trends. Slovenian military sociologists contributed an important part of the knowledge of Slovenian military families to global social science achievements. Key words Military family, history of relations between military and family, comprehensive care for service members of the SAF, the research of military families in military sociology.

Prva številka Sodobnih vojaških izzivov v tem letu je namenjena vojaški terminologiji. V dobrih dvajsetih letih izhajanja publikacije še nismo izdali tematske številke, ki bi posebej obravnavala to področje, čeprav se pri njegovem razvoju že vsa leta pojavljajo vprašanja in razprave o posameznih izrazih, pojmih, prevodih ter njihovem resničnem pomenu. Navedeno ne pomeni, da se s tem področjem v obrambnem resorju ni nihče ukvarjal. Prav nasprotno. Iz prispevkov boste bralci izvedeli veliko o zgodovini, organizaciji, razvoju, priložnostih in izzivih, s katerimi se srečujejo terminologi, lektorji, prevajalci, uredniki in nenazadnje vsi drugi udeleženci, ne samo s področja obrambe, temveč tudi širše v slovenskem prostoru. Avtorji prispevkov v tej številki pogosto omenjajo zgodovinski kontekst, v katerem se je razvijal slovenski jezik, s poudarkom na vojaški stroki. V povezavi s tem je pomembno omeniti, da ima slovenski vojaški jezik bogato zgodovino. Ob tej priložnosti se lahko spomnimo na majorja Andreja Komela pl. Sočebrana, ki je utemeljitelj slovenskega vojaškega jezika. Med drugim se je tudi trudil prevesti različne nemške vojaške izraze v slovenski jezik. Izdal je dve knjigi, leta 1884 Osnova vojstva in leta 1890 Organizacija vojstva, pri čemer se izraz vojstvo v današnjem strokovnem jeziku na področju varnosti, obrambe in vojske ni uveljavil. Leta 1996 je sicer na Ministrstvu za obrambo začela izhajati publikacija Vojstvo, vendar je to trajalo samo do leta 2000. V povezavi z imenom te publikacije je v uvodu v prvo številko prof. dr. Tomo Korošec, strokovnjak za vojaško izrazoslovje, pojasnil vzroke za izbiro besede vojstvo kot ime publikacije. Utemeljil je, da je Komel nemški izraz za področje vojaštva odlično prevedel. Koren besede voj- s priponskimi obrazili, kot so -ak (vojak), -na (vojna), -ska (vojska), -aštvo (vojaštvo), in njegovi pridevniški izpeljanki, torej vojaški, vojen, »in celo, kar zajema specializiran izraz obramba itn., lahko enoumno poimenujemo z izrazom vojstvo,« je sklenil Korošec na tretji strani prve številke Vojstva. Žal se nista ohranila niti izraz vojstvo kot tudi ne obstoj publikacije s tem imenom. Na količino in raznovrstnost izzivov za vojaško izrazoslovje so pomembno vplivali vključevanje Republike Slovenije v mednarodno varnostno okolje in tudi želja ter potreba po poenotenju vojaških strokovnih izrazov zaradi boljše organizacije in učinkovitosti skupnega delovanja. V prispevku Tine Pečovnik Sodobni trendi v slovenski vojaški terminologiji spoznamo postopke, merila in zakonitosti pri vzpostavljanju standardov ter interakcije z drugimi terminologi in ustanovami v slovenskem prostoru. Avtorica tipološko razvrsti novejše slovenske vojaške termine in poudari potrebo po bolj sistematičnem pridobivanju ter preučevanju terminologije. Pri tem izpostavi zahtevne terminološke izbire med pojmi, kot so usmerjevalec ali kontrolor združenih ognjev, zrakoplov ali letalnik ter generalka, generalica ali generalinja. Standardizacij

Zadnja številka Sodobnih vojaških izzivov leta 2019, v katerem smo se spomnili tudi 15. obletnice pridružitve Slovenije Evropski uniji in zavezništvu, je posvečena organizacijski kulturi. O njej je mogoče najti veliko različnih knjig, člankov in zapisov na spletu. Večina avtorjev pravi, da je organizacijska kultura bistvena za uspešnost velikih podjetij in učinkovitost njihovih zaposlenih. Po več teorijah o dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na uspešnost podjetij in velikih korporacij, smo se ponovno nekako vrnili na osrednji dejavnik – človeka – zaposlenega, tistega, ki je motiviran, da stori nekaj več, bolje, ki pozitivno vpliva na druge zaposlene, da bodo lahko skupaj boljši in zadovoljnejši ter bodo tudi bolj sledili ciljem in željam podjetja, v katerem so zaposleni za skupno dobro. Dr. Kristijan Musek Lešnik na svoji spletni strani o razlikovanju organizacijske kulture in organizacijske klime pravi, da veliko strokovnjakov in gurujev oba pojma pogosto pomeša ali zamenja. Sam glede organizacijske klime zapiše in se pri tem sklicuje na Scheina, da organizacijsko kulturo sestavljajo artefakti (stvari, jezik, slogani, simboli), izražene vrednote (strategije, cilji, filozofija in standardi organizacije) ter temeljne predpostavke (prepričanja, mnenja, stališča in občutki, ki so znotraj organizacije privzeti kot samoumevni in si jih njeni člani delijo). V primerjavi z obema pravi, da »se kaže tudi v časovni perspektivi: kultura je usmerjena v preteklost (v tradicije, mite, ipd.) in gradi prihodnost prek vizij, klima pa je zaznava sedanjega stanja.« Iz opisa je mogoče ugotoviti, da je organizacijska kultura in seveda tudi klima pomembna za vsako delovno organizacijo. Tako ima tudi v sodobnih oboroženih silah pomembno vlogo. Zgodovina je pomembna za identiteto naroda in vojske, še pomembnejša pa je organizacijska kultura kot graditelj prihodnosti. Zadnje desetletje je bilo za Slovensko vojsko zelo specifično, saj ga je v celoti zaznamovala finančna kriza, ki se je začela leta 2008. To so njene pripadnice in pripadniki še posebej občutili pri plačah, opremi, oborožitvi in zmanjšanem številu zaposlenih. Velik vpliv nanjo so imele tudi spremenjene varnostne razmere v ožji in širši regiji, ki smo jih najbolj zaznali v obliki množičnih migracij leta 2015, od takrat naprej pa jih zaznavamo predvsem v povečanem številu ilegalnih prehodov migrantov na meji s Hrvaško, kjer je Slovenska vojska vpeta v varovanje schengenske meje skupaj s policijo. Kot kaže, bo to njena naloga tudi v prihodnje. Organizacijska kultura kot graditelj prihodnosti je osrednja tema te tematske številke, v kateri se osredotočamo na temeljne naloge in poslanstvo oboroženih sil.

The main theme of the paper is the Concept of Military Leadership in the Slovenian Armed Forces, which currently represents the highest substantive and guiding normative act in the field of military leadership in the Slovenian Armed Forces (hereinafter referred to as the SAF). Due to the enormous importance of this field in working with people and the aim of influencing the change of the concept, the paper analysed and compared the concepts of military leadership in other selected armed forces and looked for similarities and divergences, especially in two segments - substantive and normative. On the one hand, we have shown the substantive obsolescence and inadequate normative rank of the Concept of Military Leadership in the Slovenian Armed Forces and, on the other hand, the necessity of substantive updating with concrete proposals and arguments for the development of the Doctrine of Military Leadership in the SAF.

Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, carried out with an amazing speed and coordination of various soft and hard instruments of national power, while simultaneously using the power of protests by the local pro-Russian population, is undoubtedly one of the better examples of hybrid warfare. The brutality and simultaneous surgical precision of the operation have made it feel as if each of the instruments of national power had played its precisely defined role, which had its basis in the national security and defence documents, such as the national security strategy and military doctrine. This is a proof of the adaptation of the Russia’s military and political strategic framework to the new global challenges of the modern world. The formerly rigid Russia using the primarily brutal military power typical of the Soviet regime, has in this case proved to be a dynamic and highly flexible force, capable of using various instruments of national power, coupled with an appropriate support of a considerably altered, but extremely effective military power instrument. In doing so, it actually shocked the Western professional and political public and opened a wide debate in professional circles, which had previously not attributed the ability of such activities to Russia. Hybrid warfare has become a constant feature of discussions in the military and political circles of the West, focusing primarily on finding solutions to effectively counter the new threat presented in Crimea by the Russian side. Key words Hybrid warfare, national strategy, military doctrine, Crimea.

This is a proof of the adaptation of the Russia’s military and political strategic framework to the new global challenges of the modern world. The formerly rigid Russia using the primarily brutal military power typical of the Soviet regime, has in this case proved to be a dynamic and highly flexible force, capable of using various instruments of national power, coupled with an appropriate support of a considerably altered, but extremely effective military power instrument. In doing so, it actually shocked the Western professional and political public and opened a wide debate in professional circles, which had previously not attributed the ability of such activities to Russia. Hybrid warfare has become a constant feature of discussions in the military and political circles of the West, focusing primarily on finding solutions to effectively counter the new threat presented in Crimea by the Russian side.\u0000\u0000Key words\u0000Hybrid warfare, national strategy, military doctrine, Crimea.","PeriodicalId":312853,"journal":{"name":"CONTEMPORARY MILITARY CHALLENGES","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127829757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though operational art was theoretically grounded in the 1920s in the Soviet Union, it was not globally recognized until the last decade of the Cold War. Changes in security environment after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact loosened the perception of operational art, which is now being used for analysis and practical guidance of both major military and integrated military-civilian operations. However, operational art’s theory and some of its basic concepts – such as centre of gravity – are still underdeveloped, limiting scientific and practical utility of the discipline. Although some authors view operational art as anachronistic, it may as well be transforming itself into a predominantly interdisciplinary social science discipline. Key words Operational warfare, operational art, military operations, levels of warfare.

Young job seekers are led by different motivational factors. Their work expectations and future employment are influenced by values, personality traits, social context, profession’s reputation and many other factors. At the same time, employers want to get the best possible personnel that will demonstrate motivation and efficiency. Within a company, personnel should be offered the opportunity to meet certain expectations and needs, since only satisfied employees and their families can form a firm foundation for future corporate development and progress. A survey of young between the ages of 18 and 30 revealed what motivates them when choosing a job, whereby in the analysis we highlight their willingness to join the Slovenian Armed Forces. The analysis reveals that young people can be classified into different groups based on their expectations regarding the future work. It is important to enable young people to acquire skills that are also useful in civilian occupations. We believe that it is possible to meet the needs of those who will develop into the professional backbone of the SAF, as well as those who will leave after several years of work and pursue a career in the civilian sphere. Key words Work expectations, employment, youth, values, Slovenian Armed Forces.

In the Slovenian Armed Forces, we conducted a survey research entitled Slovenian youth and their motives for the military profession to determine the characteristics of a generation of young people. The questionnaire, which was designed for the purpose of the research, used various questions to examine the interest of young people to work in the military and in the Slovenian Armed Forces. We aimed to identify the values, hobbies and interests of young people and how they perceive different job characteristics. In this article, we focus on how Slovenian high school students perceive job characteristics. We were interested in what is more attractive to them at work and what is less attractive. The results show that the youth’s main motives for work are related to pay, good relationships, promotion opportunities, job security and orderliness. Family also plays an important role. They want to know the meaning of their effort and to acquire the skills that can come useful in their lives. The characteristics of the military profession are not among the most interesting motives. An analysis by gender, type of the high school programme, and the interest in the military work show that the characteristics of the military profession are more attractive to male students, students of vocational programmes, and especially to those who have expressed a desire to work in the military. Key words Military profession, job characteristics, motives of the young generation.

Abstract Social identity theory forms one of the key theories in social psychology and sociology. However, some other theories, such as self-categorization theory and social role theory are also used to explain the relations among individuals and groups. In the past the identities were assigned, whereas nowadays people explore their identities themselves; they have multiple identities and they can self-categorize themselves. Modern militaries and their members experience similar changes. Traditional military identity is characterized by stabilized relations, manifesting mainly through hierarchical structure and established discipline, and subordination of personal identity to the collective one. Modern military identity is not uniform and unambiguous. Military members, in addition to their military identity and military roles, develop other social identities and enact a variety of different social roles. Key words Social identity, social role, military identity, traditional military identity, modern military identity.
