Operations with the Armed Forces Engagement by Ing. Miroslav Hrebíček, CSc. At present, such operations are labelled and marked in different ways. The article summarizes basic information on them and special attention is paid to the engagement of the Army of the Czech Republic. It categorises all military operations the ACR could participate in. It states basic characteristics of combat operations (assault, defensive, land, air, airborne, amphibious, naval, cosmic), non-combat operations (operations other than war: stabilization ones, conflict prevention, peacekeeping, peace enforcement, peacebuilding and so on, i.e. those of humanitarian character), special operations (conventional, but with specially trained troops, using non standard methods), information and psychological operations (strategical, combat and crises response operations). [VR No 3/2003]The Comparative Analysis of Selective Terms of Security Terminology by Mgr. Libor Frank. The article, which is not a report from the 4th Terminology Conference we are informing about in this issue, is in fact a contribution to a broader discussion inside our defence community. The author analyses several Czech professional terms from the field of security: security system, defence system, defence planning, security planning, in documents of different origin, level, and validity. The author takes into account diverse concepts in various obligatory law norms; declaratory official documents both at highest and departmental levels. The article is freely tied with current terminology discussion and ought to contribute to the better orientation in this particular problem. The theme is a specially pressing in time we are prepared the updated edition of the Security Strategy of the Czech Republic and we need unified security and defence terminology. [VR No 3/2003] OPINIONS, CONTROVERSY Some Experiences from the Involving of External Sources in Defence Environment (Outsourcing and Insourcing Concepts) by Prof. PhDr. Miroslav Krč, CSc. Large decrease in military budgets accompanying by political demands to increase military capacities, to upgrade state defence capacity. Among others it ought to be done by a higher utilization of private sector, more consistent application of commercial criteria in military units and institutions. The author explains two new terms, at least new for East European nations, because the terms are adopted from private sector in the U. S. A. Firstly, it is “outsourcing”, which is derived from “outside resource using”. Secondly, a certain antipole is “insourcing”, but it depends. Every outsourcer could be insourcer and vice versa. But there are some risks. American OMB (Office of Management and Budget) sets several spheres that can’t be opened to private sector. Important sections of the military (vehicles, weapons) must be kept up by armed forces, e. g. by the air force. Some key function must be free from civilian competitors (support services contractors), namely those that are to be deployed abroad. [VR No 3/2003] INFORMATION PAGES The Reform of the German Armed Forces and its Perils by Mgr. Zdeněk Kříž, Ph.D. The future German armed forces ought to be more mobile, with improved capability for strategic shifts (power projection) and strategic reconnaissance, more flexible organizational structures and command, better signals and communication equipments, better equipment for automated command. The improvements are oriented towards areas that can help them to increase their effectiveness in missions outside German territory, while the capabilities that were in the focus in the past (i.e. the high intensity warfare capabilities at the battlefields of Central Europe) are reduced. In comparison with other European militaries, the only difference is the preserving of universal conscription, because of the belief of German political–and partly also military–élites that universal conscription has democratising effects. The reform is being threatened by the following factors: the lack of clarity as to the most probable form of the key deployment; continued emphasis on territorial defence; the existence of universal conscription; desire to undertake modernization of Bundeswehr with constant defence expenditures; and finally, different priorities of the main political parties resulting differences in the attitudes of political elites. [VR No 3/2003]French General Directorate of External Security. Intelligence institutions usually do not release data dealing with their covert activities, methods of spheres of operations. The French magazine Armées d’aujord’hui is an exception. It published a series of articles (without names of authors) dealing with the Directorate of External Security, which is the core institution of country’s safety. The Directorate is subordinated to the French Ministry of Defence, 70 per cent are civilian employees, 30 per cent career soldiers. Intelligence data are collected from hidden or secret sources, off the French territory, ranging from WAD proliferation, via terrorism, to organized crime. The Directorate therefore can’t use usual, e. g. diplomatic, sources. “Service Action” units, are numbering several hundreds man. Those units do not run military operations but among their main activities belong covert intelligence coverage and the so-called non-revendicable actions. The author of this article is Ing. J. Nastoupil (Col. ret.). [VR No 3/2003] The Theory of Stimulation and its Implications for Influencing Working Motivation and Efficiency by Lt. Ing. Petra Vráblíková. In this article its authoress (who study now for her Ph.D. degree) explains basic terms of “simulation theory” that is commonly used not only in civil, private or state organization, but also in all armed forces. A close superior, who have to motivate his subalterns, always plays the key role. He may stimulate them by several methods: pays, the type of work, friendly encouragements, the spirit of the team, working conditions, identification with work, external stimulation boosts. Each of those items is explained in separate subdivisions of this article. Miss Vráblíková closes its study by underlining the fact that stimulation mustn’t be one-shot method, but must be repeated all the time, and at the same time evaluated as a means of back-feed reflections. Such effective stimulation should be applied namely in the Army of the Czech Republic.
