NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE

Abstract: In the past belligerent parties endeavour to prevail over one another in armament and battlefield as well, in the first place, while nowadays they impute false informations trying to outwit each other intelectually in order to gain the victory without or partly using weapon. It means that nowadays war is being transferred from battlefied to “psychological space” in order to be gained without use of arms.

Contemporary armed combats are most likely to be characterized as mass use of different state-of-the-art armament and military resources also including increased application of psychological actions which are aimed at winning the enemy with as less as possible own losses and consumption of material and technical means.

In studying of army morale psychological warfare is being mostly confused with propaganda although these two are different terms. Namely, propaganda is narrower term than the term psychological warfare considering the fact that propaganda unfolds only in a verbal manner, i.e. by transferring ideas and attitudes to other people. That is why is so important to make this obvious difference between the two terms.

Psychological warfare distinguishes itself as unavoidable, dominant and more and more important „non-armed form“of aggressive behaviour in contemporary life conditions. It is integral part, attendant, and general ambience of warfare regarding all its dimensions. The importance of being well up on forces, means, forms and methods of psychological warfare in contemporary life conditions, and own activities and protective measures as well, imposes the need psychological warfare as non-armed form of aggression, to be studied in details, especially in educational process in the field of ethics.

Key words: psychological warfare, morale, propaganda, non-armed aggression

GLOBALIZATION OF THE SECURITY WORLD AND REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE OF THE SERBIAN ARMED FORCES OFFICERS IN THE FIELD OF SOCIAL AND LIBERAL SCIENCES

Abstract: Our time is the time of power. Whether we are against globalization or being its apologists, we must admit that this planetary process leads the world towards fast, deep, revolutionary and irreversible economic, cultural, political, technical and technological and military changes in the contemporary world. If the world wants to live in peace, it must take hope in the rule of law, free market of people, ideas and capital, application of the law of peace and positive solutions which will in a systematic way crush resistance of all militant elites, cause them to lose power and put them on the margins of society.

Despite the terrible challenges and threats to the world peace, there is a deep and life-giving logic of survival, which says that if the world wants to last despite all the risks and nuclear threats, it must cooperate regardless of all antagonisms, distrust, hatred and military competition of the great powers. The world globalization means that it is not possible to achieve security of one country separately from the others, no matter how large or powerful it is, as the risks become common, and security is less divisible geographically and substantively, therefore, it is necessary to eliminate security challenges, risks and threats together. The system of cooperation in security is an active one; therefore, the countries that care about their own security must be ready to participate in joint diplomacy, economy and, if necessary, military action in the areas outside their joint space, which can threaten, or they recognize them as such, their social values. Arnold Wolfers defines security as the freedom of implementation of certain values, as “the absence of threats to acquired values”. Globalization is the fate of the contemporary world, hope of the planet and the power everybody who seriously deals with society and history must reckon with as the preemptive power and the fate of future generations.

CROSS-CULTURAL COMPETENCE: A RESPONSE TO GLOBALIZATION

Abstract: The processes of globalization and integration in the security sector are facing challenges generated by cross-cultural differences. Individual, organizational and national culture shapes behaviour and attitude of every individual and affects activities performed by organizations and big national systems. In order to defend its national interest Serbia needs to articulate its own interest in the way that others can understand, to enable individuals and organizations to communicate and work effectively in the culturally complex international environment, establish networks of cooperation and support in spite of all odds and differences and creatively implement international standards. In this context, the development of cross-cultural competence within the defence system (MoD and SAF) seems to be a priority. A set of specific knowledge, skills and attitudes that lead to the achievement of the goals of the defence system in the culturally complex environment can be developed in the processes of education, training and professional self-development, based on the competence framework.

PERMANENT EDUCATION IN ARMY - NEED OR FASHION

Abstract: The quality of human factor is a dynamic element of the development policy every organizational system and Army as well. Its mobility (and adaptability) speed up structural changes and improve performance in resource allocation. Therefore, the contribution of education has an exceptional importance, especially when we have in sight the interactive relationship between the technological development and the human potential development. For that, it is necessarily an adequate staff planning (what contains all individuals that approach to the educational process on different educational levels) and the whole process of knowledge innovation for persons who has finished education earlier.

Precisely hereby, the whole life (permanent) learning and the improvement in profession became the integral part of modern business life. The capability of Army, in the end, greatly depends on how much its personnel learn from its own experience and how they accept a new acknowledgement. Because of that, starting today, it shouldn’t be hard the imperative of improvement in practice, with help of modern science, of course. A critical overview one self’s business behaviour could speed up the breaking of defensive attitude which blockade educational streams and removes inadequate learning capability on one self’s mistakes. The whole live learning (improvement) is cure for the crisis in profession, because an officer, who improve himself/herself permanently, extend cooperation in his/her business environment, reduce conflicts in unit commanding and improve performance in work culture, business psychology and success philosophy. Today, the officer personnel, who is minded to cooperate, is required more than ever, because only such personnel, on the long term, could provide success.

The actual organization, as ex-post instrument, isn’t appropriate for routing education and only the vision of system in future manage the long term macro planning of education what implicate the choice of adequate education model and determining functions in the education field.

VERIFICATION OF COMPETENCE – WRITING PAPERS FOR INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS

Abstract: There are more reasons to consider the problem from the title. Writing papers for referential scientific journals is, in general, “modus operandi” of scientists and academics, as well as for postgraduate students. Science has no national borders and scientific achievement became it for real only after exposing to and accepting by competent public. Also, that is an important way towards practical application of scientific results. Moreover, many real problems could be solved in better way with use of scientific achievements. In that sense, publishing papers in scientific journals is a way to proclaim achievements in science and scientific approach in solving real problems, as a kind of correspondence in scientific and expert community. Future officers accumulate their knowledge at military academy and civilian faculties. Various kinds of postgraduate studies and education courses through career, characterize many professions, however, for senior officers that became an imperative need. Academics and scientists in the military are smaller but very important part of officer’s population. Educationally-scientific career is one of seven newly announced types of possible careers for officers in Serbian Army. Besides compulsory need for practical military experience earned in real military units, one officer–educator need an additional capacity: scientific competence. Quality of educational and scientific professionals is precondition for successful education process, as well as for full accreditation of Military Academy and institutes. Measures of quality are prescribed in law and regulations. Key measure is coefficient of scientific competence. That is a comprehensive indicator which quantifies and aggregate all aspects and patterns of educational and scientific work. One component of the coefficient is “papers at international science scene”. Papers published in referential international science journals are one of the most valuable achievements, according to the defined scale of measurement. At the same time, this component of competence is the weakest ring in the chain for the case of military education professionals and scientists. In our education

FACTORS OF STRESS IN PEACE MISSIONS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PREPARATION OF THE SERBIAN ARMED FORCES MEMBERS

Abstract: Big geopolitical changes, emerged in last few decades of 20th century, have brought important changes in the system of the military organization. As a response on the now-existing and future sources of uncertainty and conflicts, in the military organization the priority is given to the new types of operations, that is nontraditional military operations or “non-war” operations (operations other than war). Tasks and objectives of peace missions are becoming constantly more complex, level of vulnerability and threat of their members is growing and thereby the number of victims in peace missions. The most important characteristic of peace missions on a psychological level, regardless the type of engagement, is its high level of stress that impacts its members. The main sources of stress in peace missions are: syndrome of permanent threat, geophysical and climatic conditions, cultural differences and “cultural” shock, “stress of members of peace missions”, inadequate selection of personnel, dysfunctional preparation of personnel, separateness from family and constant media exposure. Psychological preparation is planned and organized activity which requires well-considered influence of flexible activation and principle of continuity. The main task of the psychological preparation, except already mentioned aspects, is to provide high psychological integrity and emotional stability of the members of peace missions. The psychological preparation is a necessary part of the overall working engagement in peace missions. Objectively, it is also reliable factor for prediction of mental stability and professional success of its members. It is necessary to enrich the educational process with new information in the field of anthropology, social and forensic psychology.

HISTORICAL EXPERIENCES OF THE SERBIAN ARMY AT THE END OF 19 CENTURY – EUROPEANIZATION OF THE MILITARY

Abstract: In Serbia, the last two decades of 19th century, and the first decade of the 20th century were spent in an effort to make the modernization and Europeanization of the Serbian army. Europeanization was going slowly, except in certain periods, however its constant flow was visible in all segments of the military organization. Although the army was open to the positive side impacts, the solutions could not be fully implemented, mainly because of insufficient economic forces of society, and the patriarchal environment. The Army was well-settled with laws, regulations, ordinances and orders. Those legal acts were, obviously, thoughtfully made, because many remained valid for several decades. The problem was that the army formations, most often, were not in accordance with the economic possibilities of the country.

It was considered, which was proved to be true, that such an organized and trained army can perform spatial and temporal major offensive operations, large campaigns and complex operations such as armies of leading European countries. At the end of the 19th century, the goal was finally reached - a small difference between peacetime and war formation. In the case of war the reservists should be called to staff already finished. The existence of infantry and cavalry brigades meant that the Serbian army in peace shifted from tactical units on the creation of operational units. This was the direction that had to be followed because all European states continuously strengthen its formation, preparing for large-scale conflict. Therefore, the Royal Serbian Army remained in 20th century on the direction set by General Jovan Miskovic.

We can conclude that Serbian officers-reformers had enough knowledge, skill, flexibility, persistence and patience to actually implement these major reforms that have changed the army in all segments of the organization, formation, territorial division of the country, weapons, command systems, to education and training.

Key words: Europeanization, military reforms, organizatuon, formation, the Ministary of Defense, General Staff, armed force.
