However, in countless continued conflicts large and small, people are being killed, maimed or injured, landscapes and cultural treasures are being destroyed, defaced and damaged, and national assets and resources are being plundered and squandered. In land-based operations to defeat these threats and their accompanying realities, the focus falls on soldiers, security forces and first responders who – often at the risk of their own lives – protect people, enforce justice and guard assets on behalf of their governments. These are dangerous jobs, and there is a clear duty of care upon the employers for the health and well-being of their “human assets”.

  • Russian Military Capability in a Ten-Year Perspective 2016
    The Russian Armed Forces are developing from a force primarily designed for handling internal – 2016 Perspective Ten-Year in a Capability Military Russian disorder and conflicts in the area of the former Soviet Union towards a structure configured for large-scale operations also beyond that area. The Armed Forces can defend Russia from foreign aggression in 2016 better than they could in 2013. They are also a stronger instrument of coercion than before. This report analyses Russian military capability in a ten-year perspective. It is the eighth edition. A change in this report compared with the previous edition is that a basic assumption has been altered. In 2013, we assessed fighting power under the assumption that Russia was responding to an emerging threat with little or no time to prepare operations. In view of recent events, we now estimate available assets for military operations in situations when Russia initiates the use of armed force. The fighting power of the Russian Armed Forces is studied. Fighting power means the available military assets for three overall missions: operational-strategic joint inter-service combat operations (JISCOs), stand-off warfare and strategic deterrence. The potential order of battle is estimated for these three missions, i.e. what military forces Russia is able to generate and deploy in 2016. The fighting power of Russia’s Armed Forces has continued to increase – primarily west of the Urals. Russian military strategic theorists are devoting much thought not only to military force, but also to all kinds of other – non-military – means. The trend in security policy continues to be based on anti- Americanism, patriotism and authoritarianism at home.
