Abstract

U ovom radu prikazat će se osvrt na razvoj Hrvatske kopnene vojske – njezino osnivanje, razvoj nakon Domovinskog rata, ulazak u Partnerstvo za Mir, začetak sudjelovanja u mirovnim misijama i ulazak u NATO. Bit će prikazan osvrt na razvoj ove grane Oružanih snaga kroz ključne strateške dokumente, poglavito kroz Dugoročne planove razvoja te Godišnja izvješća o obrani koja prate njegovu realizaciju. Uz to, popratit će se razvoj i proces dostizanja Ciljeva sposobnosti te trenutni izazovi ove organizacije. Ukratko će biti izložen povijesni koncept totalne obrane, koje države su ga koristile i koje ga implementiraju još i danas. Nakon toga bit će istaknuta važnost kopnenih snaga kao dijela NATO-a i zadaće koje bi imala da je vrhuška koplja u slučaju da se Republika Hrvatska okrene konceptu totalne obrane. Na poslijetku će biti provedena usporedba trenutnog koncepta kolektivne obrane i koncepta totalne obrane, a na temelju navedenog izdat će se zaključak.

Abstract (english)

This paper will present an overview of the development of the Croatian Army since its establishment, development through the period after the Homeland war, entry into the Partnership for Peace, the beginning of participation in peacekeeping missions and accession into NATO. An overview of the development of this branch of the Armed Forces will also be presented through key strategic documents, especially through Long-Term Development Plans, and Annual defence report that follows its realisation. In addition, the development through the achievement of the Capability targets, and the current challenges of this organization will be monitored. The historical concept of total defence will be briefly presented, which countries used it and which still implement it today. After that, the importance of the land forces as part of NATO will be highlighted, and what tasks it would have if it were the tip of the spear in the event that the Republic of Croatia turned to the concept of total defence. Finally, a comparison will be made between the current concept of collective defence and the concept of total defence, and a conclusion will be issued based on the comparison.
