| description | This paper analyses the evolution of armed conflicts from the end of the Cold War to the Russian military intervention in Ukraine, as well as their impact on the education of armed forces personnel. During the analysed period, the nature of conflicts changed considerably, including the changes in relations among great powers, the way in which operations are conducted, the use of resources, and the level of threats to global security. There is a noticeable readiness to take unilateral actions, and use hybrid and asymmetrical tactics, and cyber attacks. Technological innovations and conflicts in urban environment are becoming ever more important, while proxy conflicts and the return of the classic large-scale wars, demand the revision of the process of education and training. The paper puts forward a hypothesis that new technologies and tactics considerably influence the need to modernise education and training in the sector of defence, particularly in the fields of tactical flexibility, urban environment combat, the use of unmanned systems and artificial intelligence, and increasing capacities for defence against information and cyber operations. The research, that employs qualitative methods and comparative analysis, shows that many countries have already started adapting educational programmes to the new aspects of warfare. The conclusion is that it is necessary to continue enhancing education and training through an interdisciplinary approach and international cooperation with a view to ensure operational efficiency in the future. |
