SANTRAUKA Aktyvi tarptautinė karinė veikla tapo vienu iš svarbiausių Lietuvos užsienio politikos įgyvendinimo uždavinių. Intensyvus tarptautinis karinis bendradarbiavimas, dalyvavimas tarptautinės taikos palaikymo procese yra pagrindinės šio uždavinio įgyvendinimo priemonės. Pagrindinis darbo tikslas yra atskleisti Lietuvos tarptautinės karinės veiklos geografinius ypatumus. Darbe nustatoma, jog Lietuvos tarptautinės karinės veiklos ypatumai yra sąlygoti ne tik politinių motyvų, bet turi ir tam tikrą geografinį pagrįstumą. Lietuvos dvišalio ir daugiašalio karinio bendradarbiavimo dėsningumai atskleidžia šalies pagrindinius prioritetus, kurie teikiami daugumai Baltijos jūros regiono šalių. Ypatingai aktyvus bendradarbiavimas gynybos srityje Lietuvą sieja su Rytų Pabaltijo subregiono šalimis, strateginėmis partnerėmis gynybos srityje – Latvija ir Estija. Esminiai geografiniai veiksniai, nulėmę tokius bendradarbiavimo ypatumus, yra: Baltijos jūra ir geopolitinio balanso poreikis. Be to, atsižvelgiant į Lietuvos didėjantį dalyvavimo tarptautinėse taikos rėmimo operacijose aktyvumą, labai svarbiu veiksniu tampa aukštas karių parengimo lygis. Jeigu kovinis parengimas tokiems tikslams yra tikrai aukšto lygio, tai geografinė informacija nėra pakankama. Tai tampa ypač svarbu tuomet, kai šalis siunčia savo taikdarius į geografiškai tolimus regionus. Narystė NATO ir kitose tarptautinėse organizacijose įpareigoja Lietuvą būti aktyviu sąjungininku tarptautinės taikos palaikymo procese...

Intensive international military collaboration and participation in peace keeping process are the main means to implement that task. The main aim of the paper is to detect geographical peculiarities of Lithuanian international military activity. It is defined that Lithuanian international military activity is reasoned not only politically, but also has a geographical validity. Bilateral and multilateral military collaboration of Lithuania clearly reveals it’s priorities given to the most of the Baltic Sea region countries. Especially active cooperation in military range Lithuania holds with other Eastern Baltic countries – Latvia and Estonia. The main geographical factors of such collaboration peculiarity are: the Baltic Sea and the need of geopolitical balance. Moreover, according to Lithuania’s increased activity in international peace making operations, it’s very important to have a good military staff preparation system for such aims. Perhaps a combatant preparation is in a high level, but geographical preparation is insufficient. It becomes especially important when the country sends peacemakers to the geographically distant regions. Membership in NATO and other international organizations obligate Lithuania to be an active associate in peace keeping process. Lithuania was taking part in military operations that were prosecuted in four... [to full text]

Almost for 50 years Lithuania was under the military power of occupational army which made a harm which cannot be rebuilt. After the soviet army left it left huge harmed areas, the injured and polluted the soil, the destroyed forests, the depredated surface of the vegetation behind it. That is why the evaluation and renovation of the ecological shape of the military areas lately has been one of the most actual problems of environment protection. In defining the impact of the military activities on the ecosystem stability in the Lithuania Gaižiūnai and Kairiai military ranges was chosen for the investigation. On the first chapters of this thesis it is made a review on the scale of the military use of the nature and ecological consequences in Lithuania during Soviet times, the experience of foreign. The landscape mechanical transgression, the condition of the plants and the animals, the preserve abode of the Gaižiūnai and Kairiai military ranges were evaluated in the experimental analytical part. Using the PHOENICS software a model of the situation was formed to determine an influence of walls on the wind velocity and soil protection from the deflation. According to the results, protective walls can be recommended as one of the most effective means of decreasing the wind velocity which also helps to improve the environmental state and ensure its stability The results and conclusions are received – is important information on the vegetation’s shape on the military grounds and...
