| Summary/Abstract |
Current US Air Force doctrine emphasizes attacking an enemy's 'will to resist' without defining 'will'. Much of the Air Force's focus on will stems from prewar bombing doctrine and America's initial effort to break an enemy's morale with bombs - the aerial assault on Nazi Germany. That bombing revealed that a nation-state's will to resist actually consists of three distinctive elements - the will of its populace, government leaders, and the armed forces - which together form a collective desire to fight. The bombing also showed that the resilience of the individual components depends on the strength of the bonds that connect them and the war aims pursued by all belligerents. It further illustrated that the individual element most likely to break from air attack is the will of the armed forces.

| Summary/Abstract |
The formal model of modern-system force employment developed in Stephen Biddle (2004) book, Military Power, is a standard text in the defense analysis field but has rarely been applied to analyze battlefield outcomes. The 2008 Five-Day War between Russia and the Republic of Georgia provides a compelling case study for empirical testing. The outcome of the conflict reveals an inconsistency between the theoretical model and the actual results, suggesting that technical and tactical force employment variables alone may not be sufficient to explain battlefield dynamics, and that the effects of psychological shock on unit morale and cohesion may constrain how well a military force can perform even while adhering to modern-system doctrine.

| Summary/Abstract |
The British Army Reserve, and in particular its logistics component, is currently undergoing profound organisational transformation as part of the Future Reserves 2020 (FR20) program. Yet, to date there has been no sustained quantitative analysis of perceptions of cohesion, readiness and morale in the Army Reserve. Moreover, there has been little quantitative examination of FR20’s impact to date. This paper addresses these gaps in the literature by undertaking an examination of the above variables using survey data from a representative sample of AR logistics soldiers collected longitudinally. It finds that cohesion is highly important in explaining variance in perceptions of readiness and morale, and that perceptions of cohesion, readiness and morale are relatively high in the force. Nevertheless, the data indicates that FR20 has failed to increase these significantly over time. Similarly, it finds that confidence in FR20 delivering increased military capability is also declining. These findings are important for understanding FR20’s impact to date and future trajectory.

| Summary/Abstract |
The present squeeze on military funding is not the first such measure, nor will it likely be the last. The country had little trust in a standing army, and the support provided in time.

| Summary/Abstract |
Based on an analysis of the requirements of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for the organization of military-political work, as well as the experience of operational training and the use of groupings of troops (forces) of the Armed Forces in operations, we present a view of the main tasks of military-political bodies. We examine avenues and measures of military-political work during operational preparation in the context of the SMO [special military operation] in Ukraine. We point out the most typical drawbacks that have negatively affected the personnel's political and psychological state of mind.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article describes the origins of socio-management research in Israel, as reflected in the work of Louis Guttman. In a booklet produced during the War of Independence, he developed a model for leadership training in the young army, the transition from an underground militia to a regular army, diversity management in an age of mass immigration, and motivation of individuals in a collectivist society. The circumstances leading to the integration in Israel's Defence Forces (IDF) of a worldwide expert like Guttman, offer a unique opportunity to study a case where socio-management knowledge is embedded in military organisational practices from the outset.
