  • Armed Forces As an Element of National Power, and Compulsory Military Service
    Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies Volume: 3 – Issue: 4 – October - 2013 Armed Forces as an Element of National Power, and Compulsory Military Service Suat Begeç, Turkey Abstract Whether military service should be done as a national duty or left to the professionals has been discussed for a long time both in Turkey and across the world. In order to answer this question and make relevant suggestions, this paper begins with the recruitment system in the Turkish Armed Forces during the history. Subsequently, armed forces of neighbor countries, their communication strategies and of those politically linked with Turkey as well as the world armies carrying weight for the scope of this study are all analyzed. Thirdly, current military service and its flawed aspects are explained. Finally come suggestions on how the military service should be. Keywords: Armed forces, compulsory military service, national army, recruitment © Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies 179 Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies Volume: 3 – Issue: 4 – October - 2013 Introduction Neither numbers nor technology wins in a war… The winner is always the heart. There is no might that can stand against a unit banded together. Soldiers believe that if they lose their life in a war, they will die a martyr and be worthy of heaven; and that if they survive they will be a veteran and leave unforgettable memories to his children. This belief renders them fearless. This bestows on their commanders a power that few leaders have. Power is the ability to influence people and events. Power is the ability that leaders and managers gain and enjoy through their personalities, activities and situations within the organizational structure [Newstrom & Davis, 2002:272].

  • Trine Bramsen Minister of Defence 24 September 2020 Via E
    Trine Bramsen Minister of Defence 24 September 2020 Via e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Dear Minister, Thank you for your letter dated 12 May 2020. I am writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Foundation and our US affiliate, which has more than 6.5 million members and supporters worldwide. We appreciate that the Danish armed forces have reduced their use of animals for live tissue training (LTT) from 110 animals in 2016 – as reported by the Danish Defence Command on 3 July 2020 pursuant to a citizen's request – to only nine animals in 2020. Considering how few animals have been used for LTT this year and given that a ratio of two to six students per animal (as stated in the new five-year "Militær traumatologi" LTT permit1) amounts to only 18 to 54 personnel undergoing the training this year, there is no significant investment in – or compelling justification for – using animals in LTT. Based on the information presented in this letter, we urge you to immediately suspend all use of animals for LTT while the Danish Armed Forces Medical Command conducts a comprehensive new evaluation of available non-animal trauma training methods to achieve full compliance with Directive 2010/63/EU and, in light of this evaluation, provide a definitive timeline for fully ending the Danish armed forces' use of animals for LTT. Danish Defence Command Does Not Have a List of LTT Simulation Models It Has Reviewed The aforementioned citizen's request asked for the following information: "[a] list of non-animal models that have been reviewed by the Danish Ministry of Defence for live tissue training (otherwise known as LTT or trauma training), with dates indicating when these reviews were conducted, and reasons why these non-animal models were rejected as full replacements to the use of animals for this training".2 1Animal Experiments Inspectorate, Ministry of Environment and Food.

Following an EU Council Joint Action of 20 July 2001, it is now an integral part of the new structures that will support the further development of the CFSP/ESDP. The Institute’s core mission is to provide analyses and recommendations that can be of use and relevance to the formulation of EU policies. In carrying out that mission, it also acts as an interface between experts and decision-makers at all levels. The EUISS is the successor to the WEU Institute for Security Studies, set up in 1990 by the WEU Council to foster and stimulate a wider discussion across Europe. Occasional Papers are essays or reports that the Institute considers should be made avail- able as a contribution to the debate on topical issues relevant to European security. They may be based on work carried out by researchers granted awards by the ISS, on contribu- tions prepared by external experts, and on collective research projects or other activities organised by (or with the support of) the Institute.

  • NEW MODELS and PROCUREMENT IMPLICATIONS. the German Case / May 2021
    #68 DEFENCE INNOVATION: NEW MODELS AND PROCUREMENT IMPLICATIONS The German Case Christian MÖLLING RESEARCH DIRECTOR, DGAP Torben SCHÜTZ PHD STUDENT, HELMUT SCHMIDT UNIVERSITY (UNIVERSITY OF THE FEDERAL ARMED FORCES, HAMBURG) May 2021 The views expressed here are solely those of the author. They do not reflect the views of any organisation. Policy Paper DEFENCE INNOVATION: NEW MODELS AND PROCUREMENT IMPLICATIONS. The German Case / May 2021 ABSTRACT Germany has a capable innovation ecosystem. However, there is a clear “firewall” between civilian and defence research. This expression of cultural and organisational preferences impedes its ability to access the whole range of technological innovation for military use. Government and armed forces recognize technological progress and potential military applications as a central feature of the development of the armed forces for the requirements of future warfare. Current reform efforts focus on the digital sphere and related technologies and profit from the benign financial situation of the last years. While European initiatives so far have not played a significant role, this might change if the financial situation would worsen. Given the longstanding nature of cultural and organisational inhibiting features, it is unlikely that Germany will develop and introduce radical defence innovations in the near-to-mid future. Keywords: Germany, procurement, Ministry of Defence, defence industry, European Defence Fund, innovation, ecosystem, future of warfare. 2 DEFENCE INNOVATION: NEW MODELS AND PROCUREMENT IMPLICATIONS. The German Case / May 2021 INTRODUCTION Germany has a long history of defence innovation with a successful defence industry that developed and produced iconic equipment such as the Leopard 2. However, it is not particularly known for a vibrant start-up culture, instruments generally considered to be necessary for that such as risk-seeking capital or a flexible organisational structure, especially in government and administration.

  • On the Reorientation of the Bundeswehr – Meeting the Challenges Ahead No
    ISPSW Strategy Series: Focus on Defense and International Security Issue On the Reorientation of the Bundeswehr – Meeting the Challenges Ahead No. 184 Ralph D. Thiele April 2012 On the Reorientation of the Bundeswehr – Meeting the Challenges Ahead Ralph D. Thiele April 2012 Abstract The dynamically changing global security environment is a key parameter for the reorientation of the Bundes‐ wehr. The reform package, outlined by Defence Minister Thomas de Maizière in June 2011, is both ambitious and radical. It’s most important drive has been to suspend conscription, and use the complimentary reduction in troop numbers to create leaner, expeditionary armed forces. The detailed planning consistently follows operational and capability‐related considerations. In order for the Bundeswehr to fulfil its tasks in a constantly altering complex and dynamic security environment, its internal structures must ensure that it can adapt to new levels of ambition and retain its build‐up capacity. This approach is part of the long‐term national security approach and encompasses capabilities, structures and processes across the Bundeswehr as a whole. To this end, the Bundeswehr reorientation follows a top‐down‐approach. All five services – Army, Air Force, Navy, Joint Support Service and Joint Medical Service – will transform their command structure. The Ministry of Defence will be reduced by half. At present, work on the Bundeswehr reorientation is on schedule. The outlines of a Bundeswehr fit for the future are taking definite shape. Yet, the reorientation of the Bundeswehr including the German security and defence policy still has a long way to go. About ISPSW The Institute for Strategic, Political, Security and Economic Consultancy (ISPSW) is a private institute for research and consultancy.

  • Missions in a Changing World. the Bundeswehr and Its Operations
    SWP Research Paper Rainer L. Glatz, Wibke Hansen, Markus Kaim and Judith Vorrath Missions in a Changing World The Bundeswehr and Its Operations Abroad Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs SWP Research Paper 6 September 2018 Abstract Military operations abroad by the German Armed Forces are always a con- troversial instrument of German crisis management. Yet, such foreign deployments are likely to remain necessary for the foreseeable future while, at the same time, they are undergoing noticeable change. The conditions shaping this transformation can be captured in three dimensions of change: the change in war and violent conflict; the transformation of the inter- national political and legal context; and the shifting institutional frame- works for these operations. German policy-makers must address the related challenges – whether setting normative anchors and formats for operations, contributing to sta- bilisation in a context of continuing insecurity, building partners’ military capacities, dealing with transnational threats or using benchmarks for exiting. Yet, they only have limited influence over the described changes. Fundamentally, decisions about military operations abroad are taken within the triangle of pressing problems (crises and conflicts), responsibility (obli- gations under international law, alliances, political commitments), and the political situation and available capabilities in Germany itself. It is hard to predict the developments which will dictate the scope for action within this triangle. However, the worst possible approach would be to address the described challenges only from a short-term and ad-hoc perspective, especially since they do not exclusively concern operations abroad. In its 2017 Guidelines on crisis prevention and conflict resolution and 2016 White Paper, the German federal government outlined a frame- work for German engagement that it now has to fill.

Most European countries imposed harsh physical distancing measures to save lives, and an economic downturn then ensued. As the countries of Europe and North America were cau- tiously trying to open up their economies in May 2020, there were questions about the short-term and long-term impact of the coro- navirus pandemic, the most important being whether the spread of the virus would intensify after the summer. With the number of Covid-19 cases rapidly increasing in September and October and with no vaccine available yet, governments in Europe began to impose stricter regulations to slow the spread of the virus.
