As a traditional bridge-builder and supporter of dialogue, Austria has historically sought to reconcile antagonisms between East and West and to promote an inclusive and co-operative security space. We are firmly committed to these goals also today. Europe is confronted with a broad range of challenges to security and stability. Armed conflicts, in particular

Introduction 2 2. The Training of Soldiers 3 3. Leadership Concept 14 4. Norms of Conflict Settlement, Lawfulness and Argument 21 5. Conclusion 24 Bibliography 25 Gruber/Meyer: Austrian Case II/10-2008 2 1. Introduction The Second Austrian Republic had to be a neutral state between the two blocs of the Cold War. In 1955, this was the conditio sine qua non of getting rid of the four occupying powers. To remain neutral in the geostrategic situation of the East-West-Conflict meant to build an army of 300.000 soldiers and to train it for fighting an extensive war to try to defense their home country. In these decades, the training of the soldiers of Austrian “Bundesheer” (“Federal Army”) was first of all concentrated on the defense of an imme- diate aggression (especially by tanks and aircrafts) against the own country. But since 1960, units of this army also take part in peace keeping missions of the United Nations, therefore the preparation for peace keeping operations was important too. After the end of the Cold War the Austrian army started a transformation process. The abolition of the old threat scenario had the consequence that the heavy weight of the armed forces shifted to be prepared for peace keeping and peace enforcement operations.
