Asimetrične grožnje niso nekaj novega. V literaturi se asimetrične grožnje omenjajo kot ena najstarejših oblik groženj, čeprav v večini primerov izraz asimetrične ni omenjen. Pojem asimetrija kot izraz za nekaj, kar ni simetrično ali enakovredno, se je pojavil pozneje kot grožnje, ki jih danes poznamo kot asimetrične, in velja za sodobnejšega. V resnici gre pri asimetriji za obliko grožnje, ki je nihče ne pričakuje. Ta se nanaša na organizacijski, kadrovski, količinski in še kateri drugi vidik. Pomembno je, da se asimetrična grožnja pojavi na način, ki nas preseneti. Odzivi nanjo zamujajo, ker take grožnje nismo pričakovali in nanjo (še) nismo ustrezno pripravljeni. Prav zato so asimetrične grožnje velik izziv. Z njimi se lahko spoprijemamo različno, eden izmed načinov je gotovo tudi vojaški. Asimetrično vojskovanje se tako kaže v zelo velikem učinku ob uporabi minimalnega vložka, ob uveljavljanju različnih interesov, najpogosteje posameznika ali skupine proti večji skupini oziroma državi,

  • Defence White Paper of the Republic of Slovenia
    DEFENCE WHITE PAPER OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA 2020 Dear Readers, Both in everyday life, and in the operation and development of a country, we occasio- nally need to stop and strategically assess our efforts to see whether they are leading towards the desired objective. The result of our strategic reflection is the Defence White Paper of the Republic of Slovenia, which represents a high level of consistency of views within the defence sector on the future security environment, and on the necessary measures to enhance the country's defence capacity, taking into account real human, economic and other capabilities. The purpose of the Defence White Paper is to define a gradual long-term development of the Republic of Slovenia’s defence system in order to ensure the necessary levels of capacity and preparedness for the implementation of national defence, and the fulfilment of the adopted international obligations. I believe that, through diligent work and analysis, we have acquired a good basis for directing the further development of the defence system, which will be able to function effectively and in accordance with its mission. This document provides guidance for the change, reform and strengthening of both military and non-military defence mechanisms to meet the contemporary security challenges. It provides the starting point for the preparation of planning documents which will specify the key defence objectives by 2035, and the way they are implemented. The security of the country and its citizens is not self-evident and should not be taken for granted. It is a benefit and a value that is directly related to the existence of a nation, a government, a democratic system, the sovereignty of a state, the protection of one's identity, the exercise of human rights, and other interests of nations and states.

  • 090814 Factsheet EUFOR Althea
    EUROPEAN UNION EUROPEAN SECURITY AND DEFENCE POLICY EU military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Operation EUFOR ALTHEA) Updated: May 2009 Althea/15 Mission background The military operation ALTHEA in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) was launched on 2 December 2004 and has contributed to the maintenance of the safe and secure environment in BiH. The decision to launch Operation ALTHEA followed the decision by NATO to conclude its SFOR-operation and the adoption by the UN Security Council of resolution 1575 authorising the deployment of an EU force in BiH. In the framework of Operation ALTHEA, the EU deployed 7000 troops, under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, to ensure continued compliance with the Dayton/Paris Agreement and to contribute to a safe and secure environment in BiH. Operation ALTHEA is carried out with recourse to NATO assets and capabilities, under the "Berlin Plus" arrangements. Mandate and objectives Following a Council decision in December 2006, EUFOR was reconfigured during 2007. The force now numbers some 2200 troops on the ground, backed up by over-the-horizon reserves. EUFOR continues to act in accordance with its peace enforcement mandate under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, as specified in UN Security Council Resolutions 1575 (2004), 1639 (2005), 1722 (2006), and 1785 (2007), renewed by the Security Council on 20 November 2008 (Security Council Resolution 1845 (2008)). FACTS AND FIGURES Theatre: Bosnia and Herzegovina Headquarters: Sarajevo (Camp Butmir) Starting Date: 2 December 2004 Head of Mission: The EU Operation Commander is General Sir John McColl (UK). The EU Force Commander as of 4 December 2008 is Major General Stefano Castagnotto (Italy) Mission strength: 2,200 Mission budget: The common costs of the operation are EUR 27 million.
