Operational art in the Army of the Czech Republic from the perspective of participants in career courses for higher officers. Criticism, argumentation and recommendation.

Abstract

The primary mission of commanders and staffs is a skillful realization of all measures related to preparation, planning, conduct and control of military operations. Ability to implement these measures originates from their professional knowledge of the theory of operational art and capability to execute it in practice. Similar to education in courses, it is necessary to obtain a feedback from the courses participants who attend the educational process. Their opinions contribute to creating a more comprehensive picture about the status of operational art in the ACR. The authors of the article propose a set of measures which may contribute not only to improvement of the level of knowledge, skills and competences of military personal, but also to increase interest in the overall development of operational art in the ACR.
