Possibilities of Providing First Aid by Trained Members of the Army of the Czech Republic in Foreign Missions
HLOBILOVÁ, Petra
This Bachelor thesis deals with possibilities that trained members of the Army of the Czech Republic have when giving first aid on their foreign missions. It deals with the soldiers who have passed through a special Combat Lifesaver Course (later just CLS), the activity of doctors and middle medical staff in medical centres is not involved. The work is divided in two parts ? theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I summarized the specifics of giving first aid in field conditions and the basic principles that military medical staff follow. There are into detail described actions that a Combat Lifesaver performs in case a fellow fighter is injured, to ensure their vital signs immediately after the injury and to transport them to a higher level medical facility. The aim of this work is to provide an idea of giving first aid in the tactical environment of experts and to point out numerous peculiarities which differentiate it from the first aid we know from the civil life. That´s because combat conditions bring lots of restrictions and risks for the injured as well as for the medical staff providing urgent care. The method selected for the qualitative research in the practical part is semi directive interview. The interviews were held with four members of the Army of the Czech Republic, who have attended the above mentioned course and have taken part in a foreign mission with that specialization, and with two instructors of the CLS course. The questions were about the way of selecting soldiers for the CLS course, their training and preparation before their departure to a foreign mission. There were also analysed the competences and obligations of a Combat Lifesaver in case of injury of a fellow fighter. The research has demonstrated that soldiers are selected for the Combat Lifesaver course mainly according to the requirements for the foreign missions. The aim of the selection is the presence of at least one soldier with medical training in each crew. The only requirement on the soldiers that must be fulfilled before departing to a foreign mission is completion of the cited course. Other activities, like training other members of the crew and rounding off their knowledge are up to their consideration. It´s been proved that a Combat Lifesaver fulfils their tasks at a foreign mission in the same way as any other soldier and their specialization is applied only in case of injury of a fellow fighter. They most often deal with gunshot and fragment wounds.

Knowledge of general first aid for soldiers - members of the Engineer Battalion
DUDEK, Jan
Non-professional first aid knowledge is important not only for the person that is forced to provide it, but also, and to even larger extent for the affected person the first aid is provided to. The Army of the Czech Republic is a unit belonging to the Integrated Rescue System. The other units of the Integrated Rescue System provide planned assistance in rescue and liquidation works upon request. Professional soldiers ? members of the combat engineering forces are specialized in performance of special ground tasks by means of special combat-engineering technologies. In peacetime they perform tasks related to civil protection and help in the instances of natural disasters or in emergency situations of similar character. That means that within performance of their jobs professional soldiers ? members of combat engineering troops may meet a person that needs first aid. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to map the level of knowledge of non-professional first aid among professional soldiers ? combat engineers. A hypothesis assumes that professional soldiers ? members of combat engineering troops have sufficient knowledge of non-professional first aid. The bachelor thesis is based on the methodology of information collection from various sources and data collection performed in quantitative form, by the method of anonymous questioning employing open, semi-open and closed questions. The bachelor thesis might be used as study material in the issues in question, as a summary of new findings about the knowledge of non-professional first aid among professional soldiers ? members of combat engineering troops.

Readiness of forces and equipment to manage emergencies, non-military and military crisis
KUBÁT, Robert
We live in a time when people are increasingly threatened by emergencies that affect the health or lives of everyone. To prevent or delay the dangerous effects of these emergencies and crisis situations, our society has created a system eliminating these effects. The thesis is focused on this system, which is tailored and ready to address emergency situations by using its forces and equipment. In the Czech Republic such situations are managed by using some of components of the Integrated Rescue System. The objective of the thesis was to identify the readiness of forces and equipment of basic components of the Integrated Rescue System, which are the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, the Police of the Czech Republic, the Emergency Medical Service and other components of the Army of the Czech Republic to manage emergencies. In order to determine how the individual components, members of individual components respectively, view the readiness of forces and equipment of basic components of the Integrated Rescue System and the Army of the Czech Republic, I personally distributed questionnaires focused on this issue. I made up one hundred questionnaires, and because I myself handed them out and collected them, the return rate was 100 %. Each file contains twenty-five questionnaires. Questionnaires were processed into tables and graphs and in this manner an overview was created showing how each of the components sees the readiness of forces and equipment to manage emergency situations.

THE CZECH REPUBLIC MILITARY INVOLVEMENT IN THE INTERGATED RESCUE SYSTEM.
SNÍŽEK, Libor
Nowadays, active involvement of the Army of the Czech Republic as well as of the Integrated Rescue System (IRS) has been increasingly required. Both of these components present a great support to society and this fact often leads to their co-operation. Therefore, the main objective of this thesis is to describe the cooperation of these units. The first part of the thesis deals with basic principles of cooperation and the determination of responsibilities and competences of individual units. General background of this issue, such as the crisis management definition, its origination and implication, is also mentioned. Most of the work, however, describes the historical development of the Army of the Czech Republic and the related changes in the structure and also in principles of cooperation with the IRS. The greatest attention is paid to the year 2008, which is, in context of this thesis, considered the most important historical milestone in the development of the Army of the CR (ACR). In this year rescue battalions were dissolved, which significantly disrupted cooperation between the IRS and the ACR, let us say society as a whole. The second part deals with investigation if the realized restructuring is considered a positive step. Therefore, 100 respondents, mostly professionals, were inquired if they consider the dissolution of rescue battalions as appropriate. The results were statistically evaluated and together with other research, which was focused on expenditures incurred for the intervention of the ACR before and after restructuring, and relevant conclusions and recommendations were deduced. The results show clearly that the dissolution of battalions was not considered a positive step.

Social profile of applicants for military service in professional soldiers.
VURM, Michal
The Czech Republic and its army, two concepts which belong inseparably together, the Czech Republic, a country in the very heart of Europe on the one side, and a fundamental institution protecting its territory and population on the other side, in the past and at present. The latest chapter in the history of our statehood starts in November 1989. The collapse of the totalitarian regime in Czechoslovakia opened up new vistas of fundamental changes, it worked the way to the revival of a sovereign democratic security. The launching of basic economic reforms and reforms of state administration also presented the starting point for the return to the association of European democratic states. In the course of a gradual integration into European structures, the Czech Republic showed its adherence to the democratic pre-war traditions and principles. Finally, the membership of the Czech Republic in organs representing the frame of European and worldwide democracy ands safety {--} NATO in March 1999 and the European Union in May 2004 {--} can be translated as a convincing proof of the positive development. The studied group consisted of 80 respondents, 79 percent of males and 21 percent od females. The main age representation varied between 18 and 20 years of age. The decisive economic parameter in the decision making process affecting young people in joining the Army of the Czech Republic seems to be the gross income varying between 20 and 30 thousand Czech crowns. In 58 percent of applicants the recruitment bonus played a major role, whereas in 53 percent of applicants employment benefits appeared to be especially attractive. The independence of the current family was reported to be a highly significant (50 percent) and significant (41 percent) factor. The security of profession in future showed to be another decisive factor and 79 percent of applicants appreciated a higher income as compared with their present civil job. The chance to participate in the missions of the Army of the Czech Republic abroad appeared to be of minimum significance (10 percent) and only 13 percent of respondents expressed their motivation as hunger for adventure. 73 percent of applicants stated the chance to develop their physical condition as well as their interest in sports and games as highly significant. The research was based on a quantitative analysis. Two hypotheses were formulated: H1: The largest proportion of applicants for the employment as professional soldiers is represented by secondary school leavers with A-levels.
