Resumen: La motivación y finalidad principal de este proyecto comprende dar más visibilidad a la figura del traductor o intérprete de guerra en zonas de conflicto armado, principalmente en el territorio de África del Norte y Asia Menor. Se trata de una figura no solo útil sino imprescindible en zonas lingüística y culturalmente dispares de la española, en este caso. Gracias al sustento de un trabajo empírico detallado, mediante entrevistas a intérpretes, cuestionarios a militares y encuestas a estudiantes de Traducción, se han analizado los distintos tipos de perfil según los requisitos de la misión, los cuales se analizan y comentan en este trabajo; así como la perspectiva de las Fuerzas Armadas Españolas en cuanto a la figura del intérprete y su relevancia en el contexto de mediación. También se tiene en cuenta la ética del intérprete y cómo esta se ve afectada por factores externos, pudiendo dar lugar a errores de interpretación que resultan negativos para la misión. Mediante todo este análisis, se busca recalcar la necesidad de invertir en una formación de calidad para los intérpretes de guerra, de establecer un sistema de reservas de intérpretes con experiencia dispuestos a acompañar a contingentes españoles al extranjero, y de ampliar el contenido de los códigos deontológicos para que estos sean más específicos y contemplen una mayor cantidad de situaciones y enfoques, con el fin de proporcionar al intérprete un apoyo institucional a la hora de resolver una situación sin verse desamparado. Por último, se realizan propuestas con el único fin de buscar mejoras en la situación de los estudiantes interesados en los perfiles de traductores e intérpretes de guerra de cara al futuro.Abstract: The motivation and aim behind this project is to give more visibility to the figure of the war translator or interpreter (T/I) in armed conflict zones, especially in Northern African territory and Middle Asia. The presence of the war T/I is not only useful but indispensable in areas linguistically and culturally distant from the Spanish one, in our case. We supported the entire project on a detailed empirical study comprising interviews to linguists, questionnaires to members of the military, and a survey conducted on Translation students; thanks to all of which we were able to clarify the diverse profiles of T/Is according to the requirements of the mission; as well as the perspective of the Armed Forces on the presence and relevance of T/Is in these peculiar contexts as mediators. We also considered the ethics of the T/I and how it can be influenced by external factors, thus resulting in misinterpretations with negative consequences for the mission. Through this entire analysis we wish to stress the need of investing in a good quality academic and professional training for war T/Is, as well as the establishment of an official pool of interpreters to travel with the Spanish contingent overseas, and finally, to broaden the content of codes of practice in order to comprise possible scenarios and give specific guidelines to interpreters in need of settling a situation without being distraught. Finally, we venture into several proposals addressed to those Translation students who may be interested in the figure of the war T/I in the future.

Abstract The preferable implementation of article 47 of the First Geneva Convention 1949 is conducting activities in the format of military training and exercises rather than seminars. The contents, methodology as well as the instructor should be in accordance with military operations that will be encountered by the soldiers. “do what you have trained and train what you will do”. The implementation of article 47 GC I is related to article 82 and 87 AP I. Furthermore, within Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI) it is related with the formation of “the professional soldier” as enshrined in Article 2 section (4) of the Law No. 34 of 2004 of TNI. In addition to the increased awareness, some additional achievements related to operational and training aspects were also achieved in the period of 1998 – 2015. These include the issuance of Technical Guidance on the Implementation of international humanitarian law and human rights into the Training, the three standing ROEs and the TNI Commander decree on Prohibition of Torture. These all doctrinal impact are resulting from the dissemination program that may have influence on the betterment of the TNI operations in the future. However, some further improvements are required, among others, to improve the skills of the concerned officers to draft appropriate ROEs and to complement the legal unit with an operational law / international humanitarian law section. Moreover, the challenge for Indonesia in the future is to improve its enforcement mechanisms i.e. to enhance the military justice system to be more reliable and independent in line with the spirit of article 49 GC I. Keywords: international humanitarian law, armed conflict, military academy, dissemination program, laws of war.   Abstrak Pelaksanaan Pasal 47 dalam Konvensi Genewa Pertama 1949 adalah melaksanakan aktivitas dalam format aktivitas pelatihan dan militer dibandingkan dengan melakukan seminar. Isi dari pelatihan, metodologi dan instruktur harus sesuai dengan operasi militer yang dihadapi oleh seorang prajurit, “lakukanlah apa yang telah dilatihkan kepadamu dan latihlahlah apa yang akan kamu lakukan”. Pelaksanaan pasal 47 Konvensi Genewa Pertama 1949 berkaitan dengan Pasal 82 dan 87 dari Konvensi yang sama. Lebih lanjut lagi, dalam Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI), berkaitan dengan pembentukan “prajurit profesional” seperti yang disampaikan dalam Pasal 2 ayat (4) Undang-undang No. 34 tahun 2004 mengenai TNI. Dalam rangka untuk meningkatkan kewaspadaan, beberapa capaian tambahan berkenaan dengan aspek operasional dan pelatihan juga dicapai dalam periode 1998-2015. Hal ini termasuk mengeluarkan Panduan Teknis mengenai Implementasi Hukum Humaniter Internasional dan HAM dalam pelatihan, dan tiga pilar ROEs dan keputusan Panglima TNI tentang Larangan Penyiksaan. Semua doktrin ini lahir dari dampak diseminasi dalam program pelatihan untuk melahirkan prajurit TNI yang lebih baik dimasa yang akan datang. Meskipun demikian, sejumlah peningkatan terhadap pengetahuan mengenai hukum humaniter telah tumbuh dikalangan prajutit TNI. Tantangan selanjutnya adalah mendorong peningkatan mekanisme pentaatan, misalnya mendorong sistem pengadilan militer untuk lebih indeoenden dan dapat diandalkan sejalan dengan semangat Pasal 49 Konvensi Genewa Pertama 1949. Kata kunci: hukum humaniter, konflik bersenjata, akademi militer, program diseminasi, hukum perang.

This is clearly evidenced by the experience of hostilities in eastern Ukraine. Analysis of hostilities has shown that the list of tasks to be solved by the military is constantly expanding. Today, in addition to combat missions, they are increasingly involved in solving problems of a socio-humanitarian nature, which requires the formation of both professional and social components of the potential of the soldier's personality. Along with the increase in the requirements for the general level of professional training of military specialists, new requirements for their social and humanitarian training appear. The following new requirements for training are considered: raising the level of leadership qualities of an officer; formation of his personal values and clear personal goals; the ability to counteract the information and psychological influences of the enemy within the information confrontation; ability to establish communications between military units and the local population in the area of hostilities, etc. The analysis is carried out and the essence of the specified requirements is revealed. To solve the research tasks, a system of general scientific and special methods of theoretical and empirical research was used, namely theoretical and methodological analysis of the problem, systematization and generalization of information concerning the essence and content of certain tasks, monitoring of the existing system of military training. system approach, expert evaluation, analysis and interpretation of the obtained empirical data.

Drawing on materials from the Central State Archive of the Udmurt Republic, the article studies the establishing and functioning of the military commissariats network in the first years of the Soviet power. The outspread of the Civil War and the Allied Intervention therein necessitated calling up citizens, primarily workers and peasants, for compulsory military service. The establishment of the commissariats for military affairs marked the beginning of accounting of able-bodied males and their conscription into the armed forces. Volost, uezd, and gubernia commissariats for military affairs were organized by volost, uezd, and gubernia Soviets of workers', soldiers' and peasants' deputies; commissars and military leaders of volost, uezd, and gubernia commissariats were appointed by volost, uezd, and gubernia Soviets respectively and by the People's Commissariat for Military Affairs. Studying activities of local military authorities is of great importance, as it allows to see beyond central authorities actions, to understand how their decisions were implemented at the local level. Consequently, this allows to evidentiate the process of the Soviet armed forces creation in all its multiformity and complexity. On the territory of Udmurtia, armed hostilities continued from August 1918 to late June 1919, and newly formed military commissariats had to perform many tasks, both peaceful and military. First and foremost, they had to account of and mobilize officers and soldiers returning from the fronts of First World War. Much effort was required to drill recruits who had no military training. The military commissariats were also to prevent the widely spreading desertion. These functions were performed under difficult circumstances of rapidly shifting front lines, as areas and towns of the Vyatka gubernia repeatedly passed from the Reds to the Whites and back again.

The article is devoted to the problem of professional development and career development of officers of the armed forces, other troops and military formations. The relevance of this problem is due to the rapidly changing conditions of the military-pedagogical environment. At present traditional forms and methods of professional training cannot fully meet the demand of military personnel for the formation of self-development, self-actualization and self-realization skills. In this regard the author raises the question of the need to find new approaches and views on the process of improving professional training, the result of which should be the readiness of officers to build, design and develop a military career. The author suggests using coaching, the methodology of which is focused on the disclosure of professional and personal potential and the awakening of the activity of officers as promising forms and methods of military professional training.

The article deals with the process of initiation and implementation of the idea of creating the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the social and political discourse of the USSR in the late 1980s – early 1990s. The positions of key pro-Ukrainian public associations and movements, their programs, and statements concerning the "Ukrainianization" of the military forces that were located in the USSR are explored. An estimation of the position of these forces on public policy in the military sphere is given. It has been found out that the majority of the public associations and movements created under the conditions of "restructuring" insisted on the need for de-ideologization and demilitarization of social and political life. In most cases, members of such organizations required on the need to form military units based on the existing USSR armed forces exclusively from residents of the republic, who would report directly to the leadership of the USSR. Besides, the demand for military service by USSR citizens only within the republic remained one of the principal in the speech of Ukrainian associations and movements. The main proposals for possible reform of the military sphere on the territory of the republic are outlined. The author points out that among the Ukrainian intelligentsia, there were different visions regarding the ways of creating such forces. One part insisted on the creation of armed forces subordinated to the government based on and in the composition of the armed forces of the USSR. The other required a complete reboot of the military sphere, the introduction of a new approach to the army formation, and, ultimately, the creation of an army of an independent Ukraine. Much attention is given to the youth’s opinion about the ideologization and militarization of the Soviet high school. Representatives of the student youth were much more active than other social groups, expressing their dissatisfaction with the current situation, which resulted in spontaneous protests against the authorities. It was concluded that, at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, the issue of military development was one of the key issues in the activities of Ukrainian unions, movements, and the first political parties. The members of these organizations were aware of the need to create an armed force in Ukraine that could counteract potential threats to state sovereignty. Such policies have resulted in numerous political actions, strikes, and demonstrations, which have been used as a mechanism to put pressure on the authorities to achieve individual political goals. In the end, under public pressure, as well as in the context of disintegration processes in the USSR, these requirements were fulfilled, which created the necessary basis for the creation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The article identifies the problems of completing the Armed Forces of Ukraine with officers. The problems have been identified in the light ofthe tasks that the armed forces are facing at this time. Recent studies and publications related to the training of reserve officers have beenanalyzed. Sources of staffing of foreign countries' military officers are briefly discussed. We used the system of the general scientific methods of theoretical and empirical research, in particular, the theoretical-methodological analysis of the problem and the relevant scholarly resources, systematization and generalization of the scientific information pertaining to the essence and content of the set objectives, monitoring of the existing system of military specialists training in the Armed Forces of the republic of Belarus, cientific generalisation, the general scientific methods of logical and comparative analysis, systems approach, peer review, analysis andinterpretation of the obtained theoretical and empirical data.According to the results of a sociological survey of a group of students of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev studying under thereserve officers training program, some problems of organization of military training were considered. In planning the sociological survey, all questions were summarized in six main blocks: Socio-demographic characteristics of respondents; Student motivation to make the decision to study under the Reserve Officers program and the main factors that influenced this decision; The correspondence of the specialty in which the student studies, the military specialty in which he undergoes military training; Military formations and other power structures of Ukraine, in which students plan to go to military or civil service after graduation; Conditions under which students agree to go to military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine after graduation; Measures to be taken to improve the quality of student training in the Reserve Officers Training Program. The main indicators that characterize these blocks are identified.The military training of students is an important component for staffing military units and creating a mobilization reserve for the armed forces, both in foreign countries and in Ukraine. Taking into account the results of the sociological survey and the experience of foreign countries, the following proposals have been made to build a two-tier system of training of reserve officers in Ukraine: The first level is the military-wide training of the NCO during the first year of training and the three-week training course. Students who have successfully mastered the first-level program are awarded the military rank of "junior reserve sergeant" and are certified as a platoon commander. Second level - training of reserve officers during the second year of training and 30 days of military training. Continuation of military training may be applied on a competitive basis by students who have a higher rating based on the results of the first stage of preparation.
