Trenutačni model i prijedlog budućeg oblikovanja vojne pričuve u Republici Sloveniji
No full textSigurnost države ne osigurava se samim ulaskom u NATO i EU, nego se moć saveza
temelji na snazi pojedinih država članica koje održavaju i razvijaju svoj obrambeni
sustav kao dijela nacionalne sigurnosti zemlje. Od kraja hladnog rata do danas prestala
je prijetnja velikog sukoba bipolarnog sustava pa je većina zemalja Europe pristupila
transformaciji oružanih snaga iz masovnog koncepta opće obrane na koncept kolektivne
obrane popraćen velikim smanjenjem oružanih snaga i profesionalizacijom vojske.
Posljedično se u većini europskih zemalja ugasila ili zamrznula opća vojna obveza.
Koncept novog popunjavanja i dopunjavanja oružanih snaga počeo se temeljiti na
dragovoljnom pristupu te se kao takav zadržao i u novije vrijeme. Tako su i Oružane
snage Republike Slovenije prešle dugi put tranzicije i transformacije od osamostaljenja
do danas kako bi se prilagodile zahtjevima savezništva i trendovima modernog doba.
U skladu s time, vojna obveza je zamrznuta, oružane snage su profesionalizirane,
stalni mirnodopski sastav vojske se smanjuje, a takav trend zahvaća i vojnu pričuvu.
Istodobno, vojna organizacija suočava se s izazovima financiranja i popunjavanja
osobljem. Slovenska vojska trenutačno se nalazi u procesu reorganizacije, a sustav
vojne pričuve jedno je od ključnih područja za izradu novog koncepta razvoja.
Međutim, spomenuto područje nije dosad bilo predmetom većeg broja istraživačkih
radova. Shodno tome, ovaj je rad skroman doprinos vojnoj organizaciji Republike
Slovenije tijekom procesa pripreme novog konceptualnog predloška za razvoj vojne
pričuve. Težište u radu analiza je trenutačnog modela i prijedlog budućeg oblikovanja
vojne pričuve u Republici Sloveniji.The security of a country is not ensured just by joining NATO and the
EU, but the power of the alliance is based on the strength of individual
member states that maintain and develop their defence systems as part of
the national security. Since the end of the Cold War until today, there is no
longer a threat of a major conflict of the bipolar system, so the majority of
the European countries have embarked on the transformation of their armed
forces from the large-scale concept of general defence to the concept of
collective defence, accompanied by a large reduction of the armed forces and
by the professionalization of the military. Consequently, in most European
countries, compulsory military service has been abolished or frozen. The
concept of new recruitment and manning of the armed forces began to be
based on a voluntary approach and has remained as such in recent times.
Likewise, the Slovenian Armed Forces have gone through a long way of
transition and transformation from independence until today in order to
adapt to the requirements of the alliance and the trends of the modern times.
Accordingly, military service has been frozen, the armed forces have been
professionalized, the permanent peacetime composition of the armed forces
is being reduced, and such a trend affects the military reserve as well. At
the same time, the military organization faces the challenges of funding and
manning.
The Slovenian Armed Forces is currently in the process of reorganization,
and the military reserve system is one of the key areas for creating a new
development concept. However, this area has not been the subject of a
large number of research papers so far. Therefore, this paper is a modest
contribution to the military organization of the Republic of Slovenia during
the process of preparing a new conceptual template for the development
of the military reserve. The paper focuses on the analysis of the current
model and the proposal for the future formation of the military reserve in
the Republic of Slovenia
Social Engineering as a HUMINT Method
No full textOvaj završni rad bavi se socijalnim inženjeringom kao metodom prikupljanja HUMINT
podataka, odnosno metodom prikupljanja podataka iz ljudskih izvora. Prilikom pretrage stručne
literature korištena je engleska riječ „elicitation“, koja se prevodi kao „izmamljivanje“, iz
razloga što se pojam „socijalni inženjering“ u današnjem svijetu definira kao korištenje niza
manipulativnih tehnika kako bi se dobile informacije u virtualnom svijetu.
U radu se definira pojam HUMINT kao obavještajna disciplina prikupljanja podataka iz ljudskih
izvora, socijalni inženjering kao jedna od metoda HUMINT-a, daje se povijesni pregled
korištenja same metode, navode se poznatiji suvremeni primjeri, opisuju se taktike i tehnike
socijalnog inženjeringa te se problematizira etičnost primjene spomenute metode.This final work is dealing with social engineering as a collection method of HUMINT,
respectively as a collection method of human intelligence. The word „elicitation“ is used during
the research of professional literature because in the modern times the word „social engineering“
is defined like an use of number of manipulative techniques in purpose of collecting
informations in virtual world.
The final work defines the term HUMINT as an intelligence discipline of collecting informations
from human sources, the term social engineering as an one of the methods of HUMINT, it is
given a historical overview of use of this method and well-known modern examples, tactics and
techniques of social engineering are described and the ethics of the application of the mentioned
method is problematized
Military Geography of Afghanistan, Graveyard of Empires
No full textAfganistan je poznat po nadimku Groblje carstava, koji proizlazi iz povijesnih činjenica
neosvojivosti ove zemlje. Postoji puno primjera stranih sila koje su pokušale izvršiti invaziju ili
okupirati ovu zemlju, ali u tom procesu ne samo da nisu ispunili svoje političke i vojne ciljeve,
nego su pretrpjele i velike gubitke. Čak i primjeri najnovije povijesti svjedoče o tome, konkretno
povlačenje SAD-a nakon 20 godina provedenih u Afganistanu, nakon uloženih velikih količina
novca i ljudstva nisu uspjeli u ispunjavanju svojih namjera u ovoj zemlji. Diplomski rad
obuhvaća povijesni pregled dosadašnjih sukoba na području Afganistana. Nadalje, opisana su
fizičko geografska obilježja; reljef, vode, klima te zemljišni pokrov. Antropogeografski elementi
obuhvaćaju demografiju, infrastrukturu zemlje te način korištenja zemljišta. U istraživanju su
uključeni javno dostupni geoprostorni podatci i GIS alati, pomoću kojih se predočavaju obilježja
terena koja pogoduju ulozi branitelja i ustvari objašnjavaju tešku osvojivost i kontrolu
Afganistana. Analiza uključuje fizičke i društveno geografske aspekte koji određuju i uvjetuju
vojno geografska obilježja Afganistana. Opisana su planinska i pustinjska ratovanja, koja
prevladavaju u zemlji, te način na koji oni uvjetuju ratovanje da čak ni vojska koja raspolaže sa
opremom bolje kvalitete i značajne količine nužno nema tu prednost koju imaju i daju geografski
elementi ukoliko su dobro iskorišteni.Afghanistan is known as Graveyard of Empires, which is derived from the historical facts of
invincibility of this country. There are many examples of foreign powers trying to invade or
occupy this country, but not only failing in their political and military objectives, but also
suffering heavy losses. Even examples from recent history bear witness to this, notably the
withdrawal of the United States after 20 years in Afghanistan after investing large amounts of
money and manpower and failing to fulfill its intentions in that country. The paper includes a
historical overview of the past conflicts in Afghanistan. It also describes the physical geographic
features: Relief, hydrology, climate, and land cover. Anthropogeographic elements include
demography, infrastructure of the country, and land use. The research includes publicly available
geospatial data and GIS tools that depict terrain features that favor the role of veterans and
actually explain the difficult conditions in AfghanistanThe analysis includes the physical and
social geographic aspects that determine and condition the military geographic features of
Afghanistan. It describes the mountain and desert warfare prevalent in the country and the way it
conditions warfare, that even an army with better quality and significant amount of equipment
does not necessarily have an advantage of geographic elements if they are well used
Terrorism and Terrorist Organisations in the 21st Century
No full textS obzirom na učestalost novonastalih prijetnji od strane terorističkih grupa i organizacija, velika
se važnost pridala poimanju terorizma i načinu borbe protiv njega. U novije vrijeme smanjila se
opasnost od konvencionalnih sukoba te se razvila nova globalna sigurnosna prijetnja, odnosno
terorizam. Specifičnost terorizma jest u uporabi njihovih asimetričnih metoda ratovanja te
motiva koji ih pokreću. Bez obzira na moderne i opremljene vojske današnjice, izazovno je boriti
se protiv neprijatelja koji koristi neetične i nekonvencionalne metode i oružja. Ovaj će se
seminarski rad stoga baviti pitanjem suzbijanja problema terorizma u 21. stoljeću, odnosno od
napada 11. rujna 2001. na New York i Pentagon koji se smatra najvećim terorističkim činom i
prekretnicom u poimanju terorizma. Također, rad će predstaviti i razvoj terorizma i terorističkih
organizacija, kao i njegove glavne motive, odnosno pokretače njihovih organizacija i
terorističkih činova. Uz to, prikazat će i metode propagiranja ideja terorizma i načine novačenja
članova u terorističke organizacije, te navesti izvore iz kojih se iste financiraju. Osvrnut će se i
na provedene napade u posljednih 20 godina te analizirati koji su bili uspješni gledajući iz
perspektive terorističkih grupa. Cilj je, također istaknuti metode i načine borbe, odnosno
prevencije okupljanja terorističkih organizacija, njihovog propagiranje te spriječavanja same
provedbe napada. Svrha rada jest analizom provedenih napada i praćenjem aktivnosti
terorističkih organizacija stvoriti preglednu sliku o terorizmu i pojmiti ga kao stvarnu prijetnju,
te utvrditi načine što boljeg spriječavanja učestalih napada kao i metode razbijanja terorističkih
mreža.Considering the frequency of newly formed threats arising from terrorist groups and
organisations, great importance is given to comprehension of terrorism and ways of fighting
against it. Nowadays, the threat from conventional conflicts is not necessarily the most
prominent one, and thus a new global security threat arised. Terrorism is specific for its usage of
assimetric methods of warfare and their motives. Despite the fact that the modern armies are
well-equipped and trained, it is challenging to fight against an enemy who uses unethical and
unconventional methods and weapons. This paper will, thus, be discussing the issue of terrorism
in the 21st century, specifically after the attack on September 11, 2001 in New York and
Pentagon. This is considered to be the greatest terrorist attack in the 21st century, and a turning
point in the perception of threat from terrorism. Moreover, the paper will present evolution of
terrorism and terrorist organisations, as well as its main motives and activators of their
organisations and acts. Also, the methods of propaganda and ways of recruiting new members, as
well as the sources of financing will be introduced. It will also look back to the attacks carried
out in the last 20 years and analyze those which were successful from the perspective of
terrorists. The goal is also to point out combat methods, as well as preventing the formation of
terrorist organisations, spreading their propaganda and preventing the implementation of attacks.
However, the crux of this paper is to create a clear image through analyzing previous attacks and
activities, to perceive terrorism as real threat and find methods of breaking up terrorist groups as
well as finding way to successfully halt frequent terrorist attacks

kategorije: emocionalnu iscrpljenost, depersonalizaciju i osjećaj smanjenja profesionalnog
postignuća. Navedena su druga civilna područja gdje je prisutan te je na kraju prikazan u vojnom
sektoru. Navedene su bitne stavke poput uzroka, metoda prevencija i na kraju kroz teoriju
obrađena tema povezanosti sindroma sagorijevanja u vojsci s veoma popularnim psihičkim
stanjima u vojsci - borbenim umorom i posttraumatskim stresnim poremećajem. Uz samu teoriju
sindroma sagorijevanja, prikazana su i dva istraživanja sindroma sagorijevanja u vojnom sektoru,
obrađena uz Maslach Burnout Inventory te sami autorov komentar na istraživanja. Na kraju je
rada je iznesen zaključak za temu rada.The goal of this student paper is to display the burnout syndrome through the perspective of the
military. Burnout syndrome is addressed through the very beginnings and history of its origins,
the civil sector and the fundamental division into 3 categories: emotional exhaustion,
depersonalization, and reduction of professional achievement. Other civilian areas where it is
present are listed, and the military sector is shown at the end of the first part. Important elements
such as causes and prevention methods are listed and explained, and finally, through theory, the
topic of correlation between burnout syndrome in the military and a common mental states in the
army - battle fatigue and posttraumatic stress disorder. Processed with the Maslach Burnout
Inventory, two scientific papers are mentioned and analyzed, and the commentary on the
research objective itself. At the end of the paper, a conclusion was presented on the topic

Political Integration of the European Union and Transformation of the Role of State in the New Political System
No full textU radu se analiziraju ključni aspekti integracije Europske unije kao jedne od najupečatljivijih
postignuća dvadesetog stoljeća. U radu se elaborira potreba stvaranja ovakve zajednice i njezina
transformacija od ekonomske zajednice Europske zajednice za ugljen i čelik do političke
zajednice sui generis Europske unije. Prvi se dio rada odnosi na ulogu i poziciju europske države
u razdoblju iza Drugoga svjetskoga rata do suvremene države koja se uvelike razlikuje od
Vestfalske definicije države. Drugi dio rada daje povijesni pregled europske integracije, kako su
izgledale prve integracijske ideje, evolucija europskog institucionalizma te koji su osnivački
ugovori važni za cjelokupno funkcioniranje Europske unije. Treći dio nastoji objasniti kako je
tekla transformacija europskih država tijekom produbljivanja europske integracije. Na samome
kraju dane su perspektive nastavka europske integracije budući da je to kontinuirani proces koji
se neprekidno prilagođava suvremenim izazovima s kojima se Europska unija suočava.The paper analyzes the key aspects of the integration of the European Union as one of the most
remarkable achievements of the twentieth century. The paper addresses the need for the creation
of such a community and its transformation from the economic community of the European Coal
and Steel Community to the political community sui generis of the European Union. The first
part of the paper deals with the role and position of the European state in the post-World War II
period up to a modern state, which is very different from the Westphalian definition of the state.
The second part of the paper gives a historical overview of European integration, how the first
ideas of integration looked like, the development of European institutionalism and which
founding treaties are important for the functioning of the European Union as a whole. The third
part attempts to explain how the transformation of European states took place as European
integration deepened. At the very end, the perspectives for the continuation of European
integration are presented, as it is a continuous process that constantly adapts to the modern
challenges that the European Union faces
Improving the integrity of military-defence communication systems using network access points with a focus on terrestrial radio-relay links
No full textUtjecaj demografskih režima na upravljanje ljudskim potencijalom u području obrane
No full textU radu se istražuju demografski režimi i njihov utjecaj na sustav obrambenog planiranja u uvjetima stalnih i intenzivnih promjena demografskih potencijala i teško predvidivog sigurnosnog okružja. U takvim okolnostima, koje imaju izravne implikacije na sposobnosti sustava obrane (vojne organizacije), polazište u planiranju uporabe ljudskih potencijala mora biti utvrđena politika (strategija) upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima koja definira ciljeve, metode i sredstva. Stalna depopulacija stanovništva, odnosno smanjivanje demografskih potencijala Hrvatske, migracije, velike promjene u prostornom razmještaju i obrazovnoj strukturi stanovništva, u spomenutim je okolnostima veliki izazov za obrambeni sustav. Zbog navedenih činjenica područje racionalnog i učinkovitog upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima predstavlja posebno važnu upravljačku funkciju obrambenog sustava (vojne organizacije), ali i znanstvenu disciplinu koja se treba izučavati unutar sustava vojne izobrazbe.The paper examines demographic regimes and their impact on the defence planning
system in conditions of constant and intense changes in demographic potential
and a difficult-to-predict security environment. In such circumstances, which have
direct implications for the capabilities of the defence system (military organization),
the starting point in planning the use of human resources has to be an established
human resources management policy (strategy) that defines objectives, methods and
means. The constant population decline, i.e. the reduction of Croatia’s demographic
potential, migrations, and major changes in the spatial distribution and educational
structure of the population, in these circumstances, is a great challenge for the defence
system. Due to those facts, the area of the rational and efficient management of human
resources represents a particularly important management function of the defence
system (military organization), but also a scientific discipline that should be studied
within the military training system
