Militär doktrinutveckling har beskrivits som en process där kunskap och beprövad erfarenhet omsätts i principer för användandet av militära medel. Militärteorin erbjuder vetenskaplig förankring till militära doktriner och dess påverkan på utvecklingen av doktriner är därför viktig. Förra året, 2011, gav Försvarsmakten ut en ny militärstrategisk doktrin, MSD12. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka kopplingen mellan den svenska doktrinen och dess vetenskapliga förankring. Undersökningen visar bland annat att von Clausewitz teorier, såväl direkt som indirekt, har haft stor influens på doktrinen. Det är dock skillnad mellan hur doktrinen beskriver det som Clausewitz benämner krigets natur och vad som verkligen står i boken ”Om kriget”. Clausewitz beskriver krigets natur som en märklig treenighet sammansatt av den primitiva våldsamheten i dess element, hatet och fiendskapen som tillsammans kan betraktas som en blind naturkraft; av sannolikheternas och tillfälligheternas spel, som ger utrymme för ett fritt skapande sinne; och slutligen av att vara ett till politiken underordnat instrument, varigenom det betingas av det rena förståndet. Doktrinen beskriver krafterna som bildar krigets natur som Emotionell kraft(folket), Styrande rationell kraft (politiken) och Våldsutövande kraft (Försvarsmakten). Det är viktigt, bland annat kopplat till behovet av vetenskaplig förankring, att skilja på vad Clausewitz verkligen skrev och på andra förklaringsmodeller som härstammar från Clausewitz men som också på vissa punkter skiljer sig från originaltexten i ”Om kriget”. / The development of military doctrines has been described as a process where knowledge and well-tried experience turns to principles for the use of military forces. The military theory offers a scientific basis for military doctrines and influences from military theory are therefore an important part of the development of doctrines. Last year, 2011, The Swedish Armed Forces released a new military-strategic doctrine, MSD12. The purpose of this essay is to examine the link between the Swedish doctrine and its scientific basis. The examination has shown that the theory of Carl von Clausewitz regarding the nature of war has a great impact and influence on the content of the doctrine. The theory is used both through direct- and also through indirect influences. An analysis of how the doctrine relate to the factors that, according to Clausewitz, constitute the nature of war shows a discrepancy between its definition of the "remarkable trinity" and the definition given by Clausewitz himself. The book “On War” defines the components of the “trinity” as: The play of chance and probability, Primordial violence, hatred, and enmity and War's element of subordination to rational policy. The doctrine state that the “trinity” consists of: Emotional forces (the people), Rational forces (The politics and the policy) and Violence conducting forces (The Swedish Armed Forces). It is important to make a difference between what Clausewitz actually wrote and other concepts of a trinity that are derived from the “remarkable trinity” defined in “On War.

Since the independence of Indonesia in 1945, Indonesia has experienced several changes during the last sixty years and is now moving towards democratization. Of these political changes, Indonesia's civil-military relationship has always played a key role. During the era of Cold War, Indonesia¡¦s military were fighting against colonial power and facing the ideological confrontation. As political changes are going on, the military is asked to get out of political system in Indonesia. During the war of Independence, Indonesia¡¦s military played a role to save the country, they fought against the Dutch under the belief of nationalism. Indonesia's parliamentary democracy in the 1950s caused political disorder. Sukarno¡¦s leftist ideology has also caused the military unrest. With both internal and external factors, military coup happened in September 1965, which result in the region of authoritarian rule of Suharto. During the Suharto era, Indonesia's military penetrated in political, economic and social areas in Indonesia. The military became the supreme power that controlled the country. Indonesia's economic growth was claimed to be as a source of legitimacy for Suharto¡¦s regime. Indonesia¡¦s economy was almost collapsed of the financial crisis in 1997. As Mr.Suharto is losing his ruling legitimacy in Indonesia, it¡¦s made Suharto step down in May 1998. Indonesia¡¦s military then began to change. Indonesia has experienced four presidential elections, and regarded as a democratic state. But, if Indonesia wants to achieve a true civilian control over the military still, further military professionalism has to be done.

The system of military service in competent decades of our country, always little people smell , under the pressure of the annual general presidential election of today (93 ), have become the alliance candidate out of office and fought for the letting go of the ballot? . We do not think that so great and complicated a problem should become chips of the election war , do not agree in making the question excessively simple even more. But this piece think naturally decades in the past, even sacred and inviolable system serve the mesa, exactly one best chance overall to deep discussion and analyze their. The cost tries calculating and analyzing the research in accordance with this' enlisting persons for service in the armed forces, sought the military system and changed into a mercenary system, calculate for NT$30,000 in accordance with the monthly firewood of each person while simplifying to 340,000-300,000 people in troops of our country, the annual military spending increases by NT$47,610 million and NT$23,370 million; And by 230,000 of rational scale of troops, then the military spending will be reduced by 16,670 million compared with 2003, only the above is assessed and will not have considered and adjusted the range of the firewood in the future , so the military spending assessed should be low than reality. Another learn in accordance with questionnaire investigation , compatriots reach 60.5% that the effective sample counted to support degree of the mercenary system, it is obvious that it is the expectations of most compatriots to implement the mercenary system. In the will of joining the army , though will consider that will occupy 74.6% that the result sample will be counted , the will is low to reflect the young man of the right battle age level, the main reason has no future and fetters too much. Ministry of National Defense since the 92nd year of the Republic of China , with one year Cheng by a definite date , is it recruit wish battle a soldier to run as an experiment in advance, the demand personnel is 647 person in initial stage , recruit through three times and only get 46% of the personnel¡¦s , namely 349 people. So, according to experiment of enlisting persons for service in the armed forces that our country implements for the first time, our country will implement the mercenary system and really exist difficultly. Any national defense builds up the Army and plans to pay attention to ' the stability of the manpower resource ' , because train a ripe soldier it is difficult, all taking the initiative , the wish that the advantage of enlisting persons for service in the armed forces lies in joining in the youth of the troops, the obeying can relatively bear every request trained strictly with the tolerance standing being trained hard, but the speech of stressing and obeying definitely army, it is really the easy taking and manpower resource with high fighting capacity to enlist persons for service in the armed forces. Restriction on the thing that individual took action copy characteristic of army, this be can't changed, but how to help the battle soldier of the wish to carry on the work or the career after retiring to plan, make the army become inducements , promising trade. So if can to volunteer soldier have appropriate career plan and every monthly pay money raise to more than NT$40,000, shown that the mercenary system of our country certainly will have bright prospects in the future by the statistical data.

The global government will focus the corporation process reengineering and maintain the predominance of business of global. Our country should follow this tendency and increase the competition with the other country. According to the transition of government environment, it is necessary to reengineer the corporation process of military for us. The goal of the military corporation reengineering is to become the efficient modern military. In this process, the officer and sergeant have the diffegent opinions for the core military professional value. How many different opinions do the officer and sergeant have for the core military professional value? This research has the target of the officer and sergeant of air force logistics unit. This research discusses the military professional value and work attitude in the policies of military corporation reengineering. We hope to gain the goals as follows: 1.We discuee the relationship of military corporation reengineering, military professional value and work attitude of officer and sergeant. a.The officer and sergeant have the strong concept of military corporation reengineering and have the strong concept of military professional value. b.The officer and sergeant have the strong concept military professional value and have the strong concept of work attitude. c.The officer and sergeant have the strong concept of military corporation reengineering and have the strong concept of work attitude. 2.According to the concept of the participation and communication, the officer and sergeant have the effectiveness in the military corporation reengineering. 3.The work attitude has the effectiveness in the concept of military professional value. 4.The military professional value is the normal effectiveness between military corporation reengineering and work attitude.
