The key to modernity and interoperability of the Army is the gradual enabling to network centric warfare (NCW) in missions and operations, for an improved co-acting of the armed forces, joint and combined, with one another, but also with the civilian departments of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Foreign Office, and Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. State of the art technology and ingenious concepts can nothing more than just provide the framework. Ultimately it is the soldier who has to make decisions in a matter of seconds, in the Army down to the lowest tactical level, the soldier at the machine gun at a checkpoint. Our soldiers do have the quality necessary for successfully proving themselves in missions and operations. To ensure that it will remain that way we must succeed in the competition for qualified new recruits.This is a task of the society as a whole in order to keep-on the basis of a security policy consensus -the service in the armed forces attractive in future as well. Here, it is important for the Army to win the competition for the bright and intelligent ones and the skilled hands for the benefit of the armed forces. A successful recruitment of the successor generation of mlilitary personnel is an essential prerequisite for the success in missions and operations. The future viability of the armed forces and of the Army is dependent on that to a rather great extent. (Europäische Sicherheit / SWP)
