The increase in Brazil's interest in international affairs has generated a growing participation in military operations under the control of the United Nations. The selection of the military for this type of mission is a major challenge for the decision-making authority, since they represent Brazil before the international community. The choice must be transparent and based on well-defined criteria. In this context, the purpose of this article is to propose a methodology to be used during the selection process of military personnel to integrate military observer missions into peace operations. The multicriteria decision support techniques can contribute to this process, considering the objective and subjective aspects and supporting the decision maker. The ELECTRE III method was used to determine the Officer who is best able to perform the military observer mission. The choice of a method of overclassification is due to the fact that no compensation is allowed between the criteria. The study shows that in certain military situations with lower rank may possess characteristics that make them as or more interesting than those of higher rank.

In the context of the reform of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and a significant increase in the proportion of military personnel doing military service under contract, the issues of manning the troops with healthy, physically developed citizens with high moral and business qualities are of paramount importance. Of particular importance in the selection of candidates for military service under the contract is the conduct of laboratory and instrumental studies, professional and psychological selection, determination of the level of citizens’ physical fitness. The Federal Law «On Military Duty and Military Service» defines a two-stage system for medical examination of citizens entering military service under contract, which is necessary as a barrier in order to prevent citizenswho do not meet the necessary requirements for military personnel from entering the Russian Armed Forces. At the first stage (preliminary examination), the military and medical examination of citizens was carried out by specialist doctors working in medical organizations of the outpatient-polyclinic link of municipalities at the place of citizens’ permanent residence. Medical specialists of the regular military medical commission of the military commissariat of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation participated in the second stage (final examination) of the military medical examination. During the five-year period under study, 5,133 citizens (72.9 %) were selected out of 7,043 candidates for military service under contract, who fully met all the criteria for defenders of the Fatherland.

The research addresses the selection process for the naval pentathlon team of the Naval Academy. Hypothesis: The motor performance criterion in the selection of athletes is not enough, and the performance in training and competitions can be improved if athletes’ attitude towards and motivation for performance are added to the selection. Subjects: The basis for selecting the research subjects were military students who had already passed a first stage of selection when being admitted to the military institution. Methods: Bibliographical study, pedagogical observation, experiment, questionnaire survey, mathematical and statistical method, graphical method. The first stage was oriented towards the selection of a group of 30 subjects (out of 200) using psychomotor performance as a criterion, and the second stage was focused on selecting the representative team of the Naval Academy by means of two opinion questionnaires meant to reveal the subjects’ attitude towards and motivation for performance and competition. Results: We identified the group of 15 athletes who met the conditions of having good motor skills and an optimal attitude towards the preparation for performance within a rigorously planned training system, with coaching sessions designed to facilitate the maximisation of their performance. Conclusion: The selection process will be oriented towards the subjects with specific motor skills in swimming, running and utilitarian routes, but also with real potential for training – improvement of these skills and development of good exercise capacity, all this facilitated by a proper attitude and motivation.

The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate the multitude of activities that military logisticians can provide throughout the various stages in relief supply chains. Most military joint doctrine identifies humanitarian assistance (HA) as one of the “Military Operations Other Than War” (MOOTW) that military personnel are trained to undertake. Part of this HA involves contributing to humanitarian supply chains and logistics management. The supply chain management processes, physical flows, as well as associated information and financial systems form part of the military contributions that add to other aid in the relief supply chain. The main roles of the military to relief supply chains include security and protection, distribution, and engineering. Examples of these key contributions will be provided in this chapter.

During the Harper years (2006–2015), Canada significantly reduced the training, preparation, and deployment of military personnel for United Nations (UN) peacekeeping. Now, despite the Trudeau government’s pledge to lead an international peacekeeping training effort, Canada’s capabilities have increased only marginally. A survey of the curricula in the country’s training institutions shows that the military provides less than a quarter of the peacekeeping training activities that it provided in 2005. The primary cause of these reductions was the central focus on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Afghanistan operation and several lingering myths about peacekeeping, common to many Western militaries. As the Trudeau government has committed to reengaging Canada in UN operations, these misperceptions must be addressed, and a renewed training and education initiative is necessary. This paper describes the challenges of modern peace operations, addresses the limiting myths surrounding peacekeeping training, and makes recommendations so that military personnel in Canada and other nations can once again be prepared for peace.

Abstract Making decisions is a process that involves taking into account n acceptable variants of undertaken actions in view of m adopted assessment criteria and selecting the optimal variant (optimal variants). Due to the number of alternatives being assessed and the number of considered criteria, more and more frequently mathematical methods are used in this process. Basing on the example involving the selection of a mechanized longwall complex, the article presents the application of selected multicriteria methods: in the case of quantitative features – Hellwig's development measure method, and in the case of qualitative features – Promethee II method. In the case of Hellwig's development measure method, equipment variants were interpreted as points w in the multidimensional space, and then the distances between them and the point Po (perfect solution) were determined. In the case of the Promethee II method (discrete multicriteria decision support method), the equipment variants were compared with each other in pairs, which made it possible to determine the so-called net flows Φ(i). The obtained synthetic values mi and Φ(i) allowed to build rankings of equipment variants (objects) and to indicate the optimal variant.

This article explores the role of robots in military operations in the coming future and challenges posed by it. Military personnel believe that robots may not replace soldiers; however, as automated systems become more capable, they will certainly supplement human troops. On the ground, soldiers deploy robots to search dangerous locations, and to find and defuse roadside bombs. New models that carry weapons have already entered service. Robotic warfare is open-source warfare; enemies cannot only probe robots for technological vulnerabilities, but they can also build robots themselves. Some commanders worry that distancing soldiers from the results of their actions makes it easier to commit war crimes. Robot-based warfare might well change the types of skills the military looks for in future soldiers. While it takes years to train an F-15 pilot, drone pilots achieve comparable results with just months of training, and they pilot far cheaper aircraft. The development of robot-based warfare has been a great asset to the American military. However, there is a profound risk inherent in this technology should some other force discover a better way to employ robot warriors.

This chapter reviews characteristics of expertise common to all domains as a context for the expertise needed by military personnel. However, the value of expertise in job performance is of particular value in the military due to the exposure of individuals to physical harm combined with time-pressured requirements to manage and apply advanced, highly complex technologies. The need, nature, and value of military expertise and decision making are discussed in general terms of tactical, operational, and strategic decision making centered on the readiness of military units and personnel to perform their missions successfully. Cognitive qualities needed for military expertise are considered, including the emerging issue of cognitive readiness required for both regular and irregular military operations. The chapter suggests that military expertise is similar to expertise elsewhere, but the volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, and lethality of the environment in which military decisions are often made significantly affect its character, preparation, and requirements in ways discussed in the chapter.

The article examines the essential characteristics of professional psychological selection of military personnel through the analysis of professional selection and its structure. The problem of effective implementation of professional psychological selection is considered by the authors as a problem of mutual correspondence of the individual and the profession. It is noted that it is solvable only if a certain set of requirements is met: both the individual's requests for a certain type of professional activity, and the requirements of the activity itself for the subjective characteristics of the «person of labor». Professional selection of military personnel structurally includes: social selection; medical selection; professional psychological selection; educational and qualification selection; assessment of the level of functional development and general physical fitness. The scientific results of the study include the fact that the general characteristics of the candidate and the military specialist performing professional psychological selection, the conditions and means of its implementation are disclosed.
