Keywords:
security challenges, military education, hybrid warfare, long-term, strategyAbstract
System of military education and training is a core entity which prepares military professionals for coping with ongoing and future challneges for national defence. Those challenges are complex, numerous and of various characters, with tendency to become even more complicated and diverse in the future. They are termed as hybrid, unrestricted, asymetric, compound, ambigious, multi-domain, etc. That place the basic questions: how to prepare, train and educate in order to effectively and efficently respond to such challenges? Does it require some changes in education system and concept, and what kind and scope of changes? Answers should be created in the wider context of compliance towards civilian educational and acreditational standards, restrictive financing, organizational cutt-offs and harmonizations with the European Union. The goal of this paper is to analyse impact of contemporary and future security challenges on the long-term development of military educational system.
