In the military system, the control-evaluation function has taken on several aspects that increasingly distinguish the military body from other organizations in the society. This function is visible throughout the military system, on all its levels, but with some obvious particularities related to hierarchy, directionality, continuity, focus, purpose and objectives, professionalism and realism. In the Romanian Armed Forces, the control and evaluation activities have evolved conceptually, together with the stages of pre-accession to NATO, as continuous, increasingly necessary activities, which involve reviews and analyses, with the aim of establishing the level of pre-specified objectives fulfillment, in order to apply corrective measures and eliminate possible shortcomings. The evolution of control and evaluation in the Romanian military system has been gradual and has been closely related to the evolution of the military body, both from a doctrinal and a structural-organizational point of view, especially after 1990.
