Language: | English | Abstract: | The operation of units and specialists for nuclear, radiological, chemical andbiological defence comprises an important segment within force protection. The operation spectre is very wide, and includes ensuring combat support to combat forces and performing tasks in support operation of units of the Slovenian Armed Forces. Due to the occurrence of, and confrontation with, new sources of threats and risks to safety at global, transnational and national levels, the role and significance of nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological defence are of key importance for reacting to military and non-military sources of threats. A suitable concept of structure and organisation of units and specialists provides conditions for a successful development of capabilities and management of all challenges, with which the members and units of nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological defence are confronted in the dynamically changing security environment. Like every successful organisation, the Slovenian Armed Forces must react and adapt to modifications in international and national environment in time, thus ensuringits development and progress. Taking this into consideration, they must appropriately adapt the scope and structure of nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological defence. The formation of new concepts and proposals for the placement of units and specialists into the structure of the Slovenian Armed Forces, which is the subject of the final paper, is a dynamic process with the objective to answer the dilemmas and questions as to the capabilities of nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological defence the Slovenian Armed Forces need or can ensure with available sources. | Keywords: | Slovenian Armed Forces, transformation, concept, nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological defence |
