Non-security of the Czech Army's soldiers on social networks
Kulhánek, Jan ; Ludvík, Jan (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to examine the risk of the Czech Army not being properly secure on social networks, the behaviour of its uniformed members and their positive identification of social networking sites. The Russian aggression in the Ukraine and the hacking of Czech medical facilities have once again brought up the importance of cybersecurity and the role that it plays in the modern world, with the human factor being positively identified as the weakest link in security. This case study seeks to define the ideal types of soldier behaviour on social media and to analyse the potential risks that each type poses. To this end, this thesis first presents information necessary to fully understand the vast topic of cybersecurity on social media. Next, it defines several ideal types and their building blocks, in order to categorize the social media accounts of soldiers it later analyses. The author concludes that each defined ideal type has inherently problematic behaviours associated with it and carries with it a level of risk for the Army of the Czech Republic. However, the present user and family member ideal types were found to be the riskiest.

The organization of proviving pre-hospital emergency care in combat conditions
ŠPRUNGLOVÁ, Ilona
My bachelor thesis titled Organisation of Providing Pre-hospital Medical Care in Combat Conditions is divided into a theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part I focus on the history of care provided in field conditions, on the legal sphere concerning providing pre-hospital medical care, and on the education of the non-medical workers, including the courses available for the Czech Armed Forces. I also focus on the providing of the first aid in combat and extreme conditions according to the approach of Tactical Combat Casualty Care, where the chapter is separated into parts regarding medical treatment under fire, medical treatment in tactical field care, and medical treatment during the transportation. Chapter First Aid Algorithms follows, consisting of report of the incident, sorting of the wounded, and injury examination. In the last section of the theoretical part I examine medical security, medical equipment, and medical documentation. The research part has one goal: "to elaborate a unified summary of processes of providing pre-hospital medical care in a tactical environment used by paramedics of the Czech Armed Forces and to evaluate their possible implementation into the conditions of the civilian sector, i.e. their possible use by off-site groups of emergency medical care providers." Based on this goal were set down two research questions. Question number 1: "Is it possible to employ the processes of providing pre-hospital medical care used by the Czech Armed Forces in a civilian sphere of emergency medical care providers?" Question number 2: "Is it possible to employ military medical tools and devices also in a civilian sphere of emergency medical care providers?" Answers to these questions were acquired with the help of a qualitative inquiry in form of semi-structured interviews. The inquiry assemblage consisted of six Czech Armed Forces paramedics, five civilian paramedics, and one civilian emergency medical services physician. The respondents were asked ten questions, which were then divided into ten categories. The research showed that the Czech Army Forces and the civilian sphere of emergency medical services are closely connected. This applies to procedures in certain situations or to material equipment.

Small State in NATO: Arms procurement in the Czech Armed Forces
Křikava, Richard ; Kučera, Tomáš (advisor) ; Ludvík, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis is puzzled with influence of NATO on Army of Czech Republic (ACR)'s armaments and if this influence is key factor in decision making regarding new acquisition projects or if other factors have bigger impact on decision making in question. NATO with the USA as its main sponsor is more benevolent than Warsaw Pact of which The Czech Republic was part during Cold War. Even though we can observe attempts to force member states into increasing their defense budgets from position of power, the main principle in new armament acquisition is standardization, which is based on semi-voluntary bases. However, in case of The Czech Republic standardization is not starting factor for new acquisition project. Change in security environment after Russian aggression in Ukraine in 2014 forced states to into increasing their defense budgets, which was manifested itself in summit in Wales in 2014, where NATO member states promised to allocate 2% of GDP by 2024. However, it was observed that not all states will meet this deadline and that size of state do not play significant role. Increasing of defense budget allowed ACR to start long awaited modernization projects. This diploma thesis found that not NATO but outdated equipment with fear from being dependent on Russian provisioning plays a key role.

Feryna, Jan ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Špelda, Petr (referee)
Electronic Warfare has, in recent years, become a key field in modern armed forces. After wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and experience from conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, Western armed forces turned their attention to the field of Electronic Warfare.

Melich, Ladislav ; Štalmach, Pavel (advisor) ; Střítecký, Vít (referee)
The topic of this diploma thesis is "Security capabilities optimalization of Czech armed forces". The original research aims to propose the strategic optimalization of the security capabilities of Czech armed forces. After the description of the evolution of the transformation of Czech armed forces from 1989 the thesis has offered an analysis of threats, risks and assets to Czech republic made on the basis of Czech strategic security documents. On this basis matrix of security risks has been created. Then preventive and liquidation measures that are necessary to adopt in case of emergency situations have been formulated. In the next section necessary security capabilities for realization of the measures have been suggested. Although the author examined all security capabilities necessary for elimination of security risks, major emphasis has been given to military capabilities. The actual military capabilities of Czech armed forces have also been described. The main aim of this thesis has been to define the strategic gap - the difference between desirable military capabalities and actual military capabilities - and to present strategic goals for approximately next twenty years.

Rusinová, Zuzana ; Němec, Otakar (advisor) ; Krejčířová, Olga (referee)
Building on in-depth study of specialist literature, the present diploma thesis seeks to define the Czech Armed Forces' education system and determine whether the system is motivating enough for the Czech Armed Forces service personnel. The practical goal was to identify opportunities to improve academic training of employees in military organisations, for which a questionnaire survey was used to establish opinions of Czech Armed Forces service personnel on the provision of their education and academic training, their attitude on the need to study foreign languages, usability of languages in their service assignments as well as ascertaining importance of education as a motivating factor for people to join the Czech Armed Forces. The following methods were used to achieve the objectives: induction and deduction, study and analysis of texts and documents, comparison, focus groups, participant observation and interviewing. The goal set for the thesis was achieved, as has been proven by the means of established hypothesises and their verification. The methods employed ascertained that the Czech Armed Forces has a well set system of service personnel training that facilitates an effective education system management.
