Vojaška Doktrina V Vlogi Teorije Zmage

Abstract Military doctrine represents military thought and a common language of a military organization. It consists of a doctrinal troika - theory, culture, and authority -which is an important source of command, education, and change for any military organization. Conceptually, military doctrine is controversial; on the one hand, it is binding in a military organisation, but on the other hand, the dynamic nature of the environment requires rationality in its application. In this paper, we examine the ontological question »what is military doctrine«. The main contribution of the paper is to clarify the essence of military doctrine and to stimulate critical thinking among military commanders about its relevance for the coherent functioning of the military organisation.
