The use of active military back up troops during exceptional events
KLOTZOVÁ, Alena
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the usefulness of active armed forces backups to solve various types of extraordinary events. The thesis is divided into two main parts, the theoretical part and the practical part. In the theoretical part, the thesis deals mainly with the definition of Active backups of the Army of the Czech Republic and their history, which is important for understanding the needs of the backup forces of the armed forces. Furthermore, in this section are presented units of active reserves, which the Czech army has. The theoretical part also deals with the valid legislation, in which the status of advance payments is adjusted and especially the conditions of entry and very important training, without which it would not be possible to deploy them in emergency situations. The practical part is focused on the training of selected company active reserves, which should participate in the deployment in an emergency. Four unstructured interviews with members of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic and a member of the Active Advances were made for the best understanding of active reserve issues. In order to achieve the goal, the theory and findings of these interviews were compared. The work can be used as study material or as a resource for military units to which the Active Advance Units are assigned and which allocate forces and resources for emergency assistance. As has been found in the comparison, Active advances are currently not mainly due to poor legislation applicable to dealing with emergencies, with the exception of events that would be long-term in the order of several months.

This topic is highly relevant in the Czech context, as there are long-term efforts made by the Czech Armed Forces to strengthen and enhance this specific component of national defense. In 2012 a new concept of reserves, the Active Reserve Concept (Koncepce aktivní zálohy) was finally approved by the Czech government. The first objective of this thesis is to shed some light on the general motivation of the volunteers to join the reserves and to show whether the incentives are mainly economic, socio-psychological or whether other factors are at play. In order to do this, the volunteering as such must first be defined as a phenomenon influencing the entire society. Then it is also necessary to show how volunteering related to national defense differs from other forms of volunteering. Next, the thesis illustrates how the system of active reserves works in a number of selected countries (Denmark, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States), where this model is applied for a long period of time and became widely accepted. The author points out the differences in national characteristics and other differences from the...
