2	Odlehčování armád - implikace pro konvenční válčení / The lightening of arsenals and implications for conventional warfare Krejčí, Vít January 2018 (has links) The thesis "The lightening of arsenals and implications for conventional warfare" examines the trend of equipping national ground forces with only light armaments and possible effects, that this trend might have on conventional clashes. The thesis works with hypothesis, that lighter ground forces are inherently disadvantaged, when they clash with heavier ground forces. While the thinkers of Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) count on light ground forces to serve in concert with air power, the air superiority needed might not always be available. To determine possible outcomes of clashes between light and heavy forces, the paper examines seven historical case studies of clashes between opponents with great armament disparity, looking for importance of armament disparity inside the cases, as well as comparing them between the cases. The set of case studies largely confirmed the hypothesis, proving the value of heavy ground forces in combat. However, it also found that other effects, primarily air support and use of terrain, can mitigate or completely counter the effect of armament disparity. The role of technological advancement also changed the balance between the forces with infantry anti- armor weapons. The development of protective measures is though constantly keeping up with development of these weapons.
3	La logistique des armées hellénistiques / The logistics of Hellenistic armies Mesnil, Charlie 09 December 2017 (has links) L’usage du terme « logistique » dans son sens militaire est relativement récent dans l’historiographie de la guerre (il date essentiellement de quelques dizaines d’années) et le mot est complexe à définir. S’intéresser à la logistique militaire, c’est non seulement s’intéresser au ravitaillement de l’armée, mais aussi à ses déplacements, son équipement, son logement et son service sanitaire. Des sujets qui sont donc à la fois variés et très différents les uns des autres et pour lesquels les sources ne sont pas toujours satisfaisantes. Le monde hellénistique que nous étudions s’étend de Marseille à Aï Khanoum (Afghanistan) et comprend à la fois les royaumes et les cités. Les espaces concernés influencèrent les choix stratégiques des généraux. L’impact qu’eut la logistique militaire dans l’issue des conflits militaires hellénistiques est difficile à évaluer et peut aller de négligeable à déterminant. Mais la logistique militaire ne se résume pas à l’influence de celles-ci dans les guerres et aborde aussi des questions économiques et sociales. / The use of the term "logistics" in its military sense is relatively recent in the historiography of war (it dates essentially from a few decades) and the word is complex to define. To be interested in military logistics isn’t only to be interested in supplying the army, but also in its transport, equipment, housing and sanitary services. These subjects are therefore at the same time varied and very different from each other and the sources aren’t always sufficient. The Hellenistic world we are studying extends from Marseille to Ai Khanoum (Afghanistan) and includes both kingdoms and cities. The spaces concerned influenced the strategic choices of the generals. The impact of military logistics on the outcome of Hellenistic military conflicts is difficult to evaluate and can range from negligible to decisive. Military logistics, however, aren’t limited to their influence in wars, but also concern economic and social issues.
