The main theme of the paper is the Concept of Military Leadership in the Slovenian Armed Forces, which currently represents the highest substantive and guiding normative act in the field of military leadership in the Slovenian Armed Forces (hereinafter referred to as the SAF). Due to the enormous importance of this field in working with people and the aim of influencing the change of the concept, the paper analysed and compared the concepts of military leadership in other selected armed forces and looked for similarities and divergences, especially in two segments - substantive and normative. On the one hand, we have shown the substantive obsolescence and inadequate normative rank of the Concept of Military Leadership in the Slovenian Armed Forces and, on the other hand, the necessity of substantive updating with concrete proposals and arguments for the development of the Doctrine of Military Leadership in the SAF. Key words Leadership, armed forces, Concept of Military Leadership in the SAF

Persons with two or more citizenship are exceptions from the rule that one person has a citizenship of one state. Yugoslav Law make no restrictions for Yugoslav citizens to gain the citizenship of other states, besides the citizenship of the FRY, with the general rule that these dual citizens shall be treated as Yugoslav citizens during there residence in FRY. On the other hand, concerning the military service the Law on Yugoslav Army makes an exception, and provides that dual citizens, regular service in military is conditional and facultative obligation. This pretty vague rule has been recently interpreted by the decisions of the Supreme military court.

V članku želimo predstaviti vodenje v Slovenski vojski v širšem in ožjem smislu ter nerešena vprašanja na različnih ravneh. Vodenje je proces in ne le dolžnost in tako bi ga morali tudi razumeti. Vodenje ne poteka le do določene ravni znotraj vojaške organizacije, temveč je pomemben proces pri delu z ljudmi. Rezultate in ugotovitve bomo lahko uporabili za lažje razumevanje vodenja in nedorečenosti tega pojava, na drugi strani pa za lažje razumevanje nujnosti zavedanja pomembnosti sodobnih izzivov vodenja. Prispevek omogoča bralcu celovit vpogled v vodenje v hierarhični organizaciji, kot je Slovenska vojska. Ključne besede: vodenje, vojaško vodenje, Slovenska vojska, poveljevanje. Abstract The purpose of the article is to present leadership in the Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF) both in a broader and narrower sense as well as to present the unresolved issues at various levels. Leadership is a process not just a duty and should therefore be perceived as such. It is not applied just up to a certain level within a military organization, but is a key process in working with people. The results and findings of this article can be used to facilitate the understanding of leadership and the obvious vagueness of this phenomenon, and on the other hand to enable a better comprehension of how important it is to realize the importance of contemporary leadership challenges. The article provides the reader with a comprehensive insight into leadership in a hierarchical organization such as the SAF. Key words: Leadership, military leadership, Slovenian Armed Forces, command.

As a result of the Treaty of Versailles the provisions concerning the issue of limitation of the armed forces were imposed on Germany. These provisions were unilaterally terminated by Germany two years after Adolf Hitler had come to power. There was introduced general and compulsory military service. On 21st May 1935, Hitler – as the Fuhrer and Reich Chancellor – signed the secret Reich Defence Law, which gave the Wehrmacht command wide powers to expand the army. Thus, the intensive development of the German army was initiated. After the Nazi Party came to power in Germany, gaining new information by the Polish military intelligence became increasingly difficult. It was connected with the expansion of the German counter-intelligence services, especially the Gestapo, as well as the police supervision over the German society. Through good operational work of the Polish intelligence the Polish side already before the outbreak of the war was relatively well familiarized with the particular phases of the overall German army’s armaments, as well as the German operational doctrine and methods of warfare.

How did the Civil War, emancipation, and Reconstruction shape the masculinity of white Confederate veterans? As James J. Broomall shows, the crisis of the war forced a reconfiguration of the emotional worlds of the men who took up arms for the South. Raised in an antebellum culture that demanded restraint and shaped white men to embrace self-reliant masculinity, Confederate soldiers lived and fought within military units where they experienced the traumatic strain of combat and its privations together--all the while being separated from suffering families. Military service provoked changes that escalated with the end of slavery and the Confederacy's military defeat. Returning to civilian life, Southern veterans questioned themselves as never before, sometimes suffering from terrible self-doubt. Drawing on personal letters and diaries, Broomall argues that the crisis of defeat ultimately necessitated new forms of expression between veterans and among men and women. On the one hand, war led men to express levels of emotionality and vulnerability previously assumed the domain of women. On the other hand, these men also embraced a virulent, martial masculinity that they wielded during Reconstruction and beyond to suppress freed peoples and restore white rule through paramilitary organizations and the Ku Klux Klan.

Genetic evaluation of beef cattle in Slovakia started in first years of this century. After the first decade of running the routine evaluations it is important to review the progress made and to discuss the further development. The aim of this paper was to compile and deliver genetic and phenotypic trends in order to review importance of evaluated traits with respect to four major beef (Charolais, Limousine) and dual-purpose breeds (Slovak Pinzgau cattle, Slovak Spotted cattle). The study showed different progress made across the breeds. Higher genetic progress was observed in Charolais purebreds compared to Limousine counterparts. Moreover, almost similar progress to that in Charolais was observed in dual-purpose Slovak Pinzgau cattle. On the other hand no progress was observed in Slovak Spotted purebreds. Results also showed higher progress in bulls compared to cows. Phenotypic trends showed reserves for improvement in Charolais and closing to breed standards in Limousine. In dualpurpose breeds improvement was shown only in Slovak Pinzgau, while no improvement or decrease in actual weights was shown in Slovak Spotted purebreds.

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.

Abstract This paper aims to explore cinematic representations of the military in peacetime, and more importantly, from a socio-cultural setting in which mandatory military service is highly devalued. Focusing on three Greek popular comedy films, we examined humorous depictions of the military. By adopting the ‘identities in interaction’ model of Bucholtz and Hall, our analysis suggested that the use of the formal vs. the informal military sociolect indexed the contrasting identities of film officers vs. soldiers as well as their diverging views about the military. On the other hand, the use of the informal military sociolect by soldiers established an affinity among them, helping them to jointly construct the army in their talk as unjust, corrupted and ineffective for the Turkish ‘threat’.

Abstract The aim of the article is to show the changes taking place in the structures of logistical support of the Polish Navy, focusing on the changes in the way of supplying ships of the Polish Navy. In recent years, the Polish Navy has undergone many changes in the subject matter, starting from the liquidation of the Logistics of the Polish Navy and the Polish Navy Command, including the Management of Logistics Planning. The changes contributed to the centralization of Logistics, creating the Inspectorate for Armed Forces Support of the Republic of Poland, which focused on the main burden of tasks related to, among others, repairs, modernization and supply of ships. On the other hand, it extends the time of issuing opinions on, for example, the protocols for assessing the technical condition of military equipment (ME), which are the basis for the replacement, repair or further exploitation of the ME.

The article is devoted to the question of determining the degree of scientific development of the forensic methodology of investigation of crimes related to evasion of military service. The scientific works devoted to the methods of investigation of crimes related to evasion of military service were analyzed. It was found that the achievements of scholars who paid attention to the issues of criminal and criminalistic characteristics of crimes related to evasion of military service, unfortunately, did not lead to their unambiguous interpretation. There is no consensus as to the content of certain features of the objective side of a given criminal assault, the form and type of guilt, the qualifications and demarcation of war crimes. It is determined that the level of scientific elaboration of the problem of forming the methodology of investigation of these crimes in Ukraine is quite low today. On the other hand, it is emphasized that the practice has accumulated some experience in detecting and investigating these crimes, which, of course, requires appropriate theoretical study. It is concluded that, in the context of today, the need to scientifically develop a methodology for detecting and investigating crimes related to evasion from military service is caused by the practice necessity and appears to be extremely relevant.
