  • The Grand Duke Constantine's Regiment of Cuirassiers of The
    Johann Georg Paul Fischer (Hanover 1786 - London 1875) The Grand Duke Constantine’s Regiment of Cuirassiers of the Imperial Russian Army in 1806 signed and dated ‘Johann Paul Fischer fit 1815’ (lower left); dated 1815 (on the reverse); the mount inscribed with title and dated 1806 watercolour over pencil on paper, with pen and ink 20.5 x 29 cm (8 x 11½ in) This work by Johann Georg Paul Fischer is one of a series of twelve watercolours depicting soldiers of the various armies involved in the Napoleonic Wars, a series of conflicts which took place between 1803 and 1815, when Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo. The series is a variation of a similar set executed slightly earlier, held in the Royal Collection, and which was probably purchased by, or presented to, the Prince Regent. In this work, Fischer depicts various elements of the Russian army. On the left hand side, the Imperial Guard stride forward in unison, each figure looking gruff and determined. They are all tall, broad and strong and as a collective mass they appear very imposing. Even the drummer, who marches in front, looks battle-hardened and commanding. On the right-hand side, a cuirassier sits atop his magnificent steed and there appear to be further cavalry soldiers behind him. There is a swell of purposeful movement in the work, which creates an impressive image of military power. The Russian cuirassiers were part of the heavy cavalry and were elite troops as their ranks were filled up with the best soldiers selected from dragoon, uhlan, jager and hussar regiments.

Downes An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2007 Copyright by Lindsay P. Cohn 2007 Abstract Contemporary militaries depend on volunteer soldiers capable of dealing with advanced technology and complex missions. An important factor in the successful recruiting, retention, and employment of quality personnel is the set of personnel policies which a military has in place. It might be assumed that military policies on personnel derive solely from the functional necessities of the organization’s mission, given that the stakes of military effectiveness are generally very high. Unless the survival of the state is in jeopardy, however, it will seek to limit defense costs, which may entail cutting into effectiveness. How a state chooses to make the tradeoffs between effectiveness and economy will be subject to influences other than military necessity.

  • Drucksache 19/3613 19
    Deutscher Bundestag Drucksache 19/3613 19. Wahlperiode 30.07.2018 Antwort der Bundesregierung auf die Kleine Anfrage der Abgeordneten Rüdiger Lucassen, Gerold Otten, Berengar Elsner von Gronow, weiterer Abgeordneter und der Fraktion der AfD – Drucksache 19/3261 – Personalsituation in den Organisationsbereichen der Bundeswehr, im Bundesministerium der Verteidigung und Bundesamt für das Personalmanagement der Bundeswehr Vorbemerkung der Bundesregierung Der Bundeswehr kommt bei der Erfüllung des Anspruchs Deutschlands, den wachsenden sicherheitspolitischen Herausforderungen aktiv und verantwortungs- bewusst zu begegnen eine bedeutende Rolle zu. Das Weißbuch 2016 fordert für die Bundeswehr eine umfassende und voraus- schauende Personalstrategie, die drohende personelle Engpässe frühzeitig erkennt und systematisch Antworten auf die personalstrategischen Herausforderungen der Zukunft findet. Eine der zahlreichen Maßnahmen hierzu ist in der Trend- wende Personal zu sehen, seit deren Einleitung Mitte 2016 die Bundeswehr nach einem 25-jährigen Zeitraum des Abbaus nunmehr wieder aufwächst. Der Bestand an Berufssoldatinnen und Berufssoldaten sowie Soldatinnen und Soldaten auf Zeit (BS/SaZ) ist bis Ende 2017 bereits um rund 4 000 gewachsen. Einen Paradigmenwechsel stellt die Abkehr von den in der Vergangenheit gelten- den starren personellen Obergrenzen hin zu einem „atmenden“ und kontinuierlich anpassungsfähigen Personalkörper dar, der zukünftig für die Erfüllung der Auf- gaben zur Verfügung steht. Die Realisierung der beschlossenen Maßnahmen ist derzeit bis in das Jahr 2024 ausgeplant und wird durch den Prozess der Mittelfris- tigen Personalplanung (MPP) jährlich überprüft und den aktuellen Anforderun- gen angepasst. Bis 2024 wird ein Aufwuchs gegenüber der alten personellen Zielstruktur um 13 000 Soldatinnen und Soldaten von ehemals 185 000 auf insgesamt 198 000 (inkl. FWDL/Freiwillig Wehrdienstleistende 12 500 und RDL/Reservedienstleis- tende 3 500) angestrebt.
