Preparation of a support operation to civilian authorities in countering unarmed security threats

Abstract

The changed role of the armed forces in contemporary conflicts and new tendencies in considering the issues of security and defense of the society have conditioned the fact that the importance of the environment in which these activities take place is paid considerably greater attention in comparison to all previous historical epochs. Unarmed security threats can cause serious harm to the community, and to the military organization, which is a part of the security system of the society. Unarmed security threats can emerge from the environment in which the community functions, so it is necessary to study the impact of the factors and dimensions of the environment on unarmed security threats. The impact of the dimensions of operational environment on unarmed security threats, which operate from that environment, becomes a topical issue. Systemic consideration of operational environment enables understanding of the general situation and it creates the necessary conditions for the preparation and implementation of a support operation to civilian authorities in countering unarmed security threats.
