Defence and strategy

Antonín KRÁSNÝ*, Josef PROCHÁZKA**

This article is concerned with some basic ideas which might be relevant for preparation of strategic paper called “Long term outlook of MOD department development”. These ideas are focused on creation of such armed forces which will possess required operational capabilities for peace time strategic security environment. War time capabilities will be built up once the deterioration of strategic security environment is indicated. It is based on precondition that war conflict against Czech Republic and its allies is in the next 10 years unlikely to happen.
