Sažetak
National armies of the present day must transform to campaign-capable forces of high quality, with joint and expeditionary capabilities, in order to provide a relevant and ready military power to combat commanders, when they use battle groups. National armies are focusing its efforts to enhance military capabilities for those units that meet requirements of the full range of military commitments on the contemporary battlefield. Modern armies need to have guidance into the Transformation Roadmap that describes the path the army is taking to adapt its institutions and capabilities. Each national army turns to operational experience, in order to develop operational concepts and capabilities that ought to be sustained interoperability between comparable European armies. The army transformation develops the force structure as to achieve full joint interdependence between European armies. What can we expect from the EU member states’ contributions – maybe they will invest more into national capabilities? International obligations and agreements are respected between the EU states, but the major plan, to constitute the European army, has failed politically, after the proposal of the EU Constitution was rejected at the referendums in France and in the Netherlands in 2005, respectively. In that sense, we can say that nationalist populism, then and today, threatened the military-political aspect of the European project as well. If state investments will not be provided for modern military capabilities than army transformation could stop. Therefore, the EU needs to rebuild a new command staff intelligence program, which will distribute, dispatch, dislocate, dislodge, and supply modern armies on versatile battlefields around the globe under the artificial C4I architecture platform command.
