Religion und Militär in der Türkei, wie auch früher im Osmanischen Reich, werden als strukturbildende Größen für die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung erkannt. Diese wurden im Kemalismus neu ausgeformt und begründeten dann die Geschichte der modernen Türkei, bis sie durch Recep Tayyip Erdoğan erneut ausgeformt wurden und dadurch einen großen Einfluss auf die internationale geostrategische Lage ausüben.

Although the US Navy is assessing hybrid fleet designs combining existing crewed vessels and autonomous systems, the process of devising a deterrent strategy to exploit these capabilities is just getting underway. A new bi-modal strategy combining sea denial and sea control capabilities is emerging as the basis of a maritime deterrent. NATO planners should consider this bi-modal approach to maritime deterrence to utilise better new autonomous capabilities that will be available soon.

Die deutsche Militärstrategie muss die konzeptionelle Lücke zwischen verteidigungspolitischen Vorgaben und der militärisch-operativen Ebene schließen. Im Dokument sind konkrete militärstrategische Bedrohungen zu identifizieren und diesen ist ein militärisches Gegenhandeln im Rahmen des durch die Verteidigungspolitischen Richtlinien definierten Aufgabenspektrums der Bundeswehr entgegenzustellen. Damit leistet die deutsche Militärstrategie einen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung der deutschen strategischen Kultur, die in der Nationalen Sicherheitsstrategie in einer gesellschaftlichen Debatte eingefordert wurde, aber bis dato ausblieb. Die Strategie bietet die Gelegenheit, historisch konstituierte identitäre, normative und ideelle Gewissheiten in Fragen zu Krieg und Frieden, dem Einsatz militärischer Mittel und Bedrohungsperzeptionen einer Neubewertung zu unterziehen und zur Debatte zu stellen.

Dieser Podcast diskutiert die wachsende Bedeutung Künstlicher Intelligenz im militärischen Bereich, insbesondere im Kontext aktueller Konflikte. Die Entwicklung und Erprobung K.I.-gestützter Waffensysteme eröffnen neue strategische und technologische Möglichkeiten, werfen aber auch Fragen auf. Im Fokus der Analyse stehen die Rolle des Völkerrechts als regulatorischer Rahmen, die Notwendigkeit ethischer Leitlinien sowie die Sicherheitsrisiken, die mit militärischen K.I.-Systemen, aber insbesondere autonomen Waffensystemen einhergehen.

As an output of strategic culture, a State Defence Strategy should set the direction of the defence policy and focus on defence system development and employment. As the main effort line to shape plans to be a reliable alliance member, the Slovenian Defence Strategy takes over the burden of collective defence (capabilities and operations). It fosters democracy, human rights, and civil and parliamentary military control. Strategic culture as a result of a "negotiated reality" built over time is the sum of values specifically for Slovenia's culture, still partially based on the Second World War revolutionary character, comradeship, patterns of nonalignment foreign policy behaviour and ideologies of the one political party system. Emotional instead of rational responses to the legacy Total People’s Defence concept are presented at parliament and leading Slovenian newspapers.

Urban warfare presents complex challenges that necessitate rethinking traditional military strategies, particularly manoeuvre warfare. The Swiss defence doctrine "Armee 2030" addresses these challenges by emphasising multidomain operations, technological integration, and adaptability. Key to this approach is the decentralisation of command, allowing for autonomous decision-making by leaders on the lower tactical level who must consider the broader impact of their actions across various domains. Integrating advanced technologies, such as drones and AI, enhances situational awareness and precision in urban combat. By balancing military effectiveness with ethical considerations, the Swiss Armed Forces are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of urban warfare, ensuring the protection of civilian lives and national security.

Die Taktikausbildung im Österreichischen Bundesheer (ÖBH) war in den letzten Jahrzehnten von der Idee des Manövers geprägt. Sämtliche Lösungen für taktische Herausforderungen haben sich daher am Manöver orientiert. Das Manöver hatte zum Ziel, eine eigene Überlegenheit aufgrund Beweglichkeit und Überraschung zu erreichen. Dieses Dogma wurde auch dem gegnerischen Verhalten zu Grunde gelegt. Spätestens seit Beginn des aktuellen Krieges in der Ukraine muss jedoch von einem „gläsernen Gefechtsfeld“ ausgegangen werden, welches das überraschende Auftreten von Streitkräften sehr erschwert hat. Ein weiterer Aspekt ist der massive Einsatz von Steilfeuer, geleitet mittels Drohnen, wodurch sichere Rückzugs- beziehungsweise Bereitstellungsräume praktisch verschwunden sind.

In contrast to recent engagements at sea defined nearly exclusively by the logic of attrition, this paper argues that manoeuvre warfare is an essential component of naval warfare. The article shows that, depending on mission objectives, naval operations are characterised by manoeuvre warfare and thus contribute to minimising an adversary’s attempt to attrite one's forces.

In spite of the expectations of Moscow, the war in Ukraine has quickly turned into a war of attrition. Based on open-source military publications, this paper aims to present Russian views on the causes of positional war as well as on the future of manoeuvre warfare. While not questioning the purpose of the war, in between the lines, Russian military thinkers acknowledge the responsibility of the political leadership for underestimating Ukraine and using military force in a wasteful manner. On the other hand, they also recognise that the Russian military thinkers were selective when considering lessons of the previous decades, disregarding trends that were pointing to the heavily positional nature of contemporary wars. Finding ways to implement manoeuvre warfare in the current operational environment will most likely be high on the agenda of Russian military thought, as recent publications indicate.
