DEAR	FRIENDS	OF	MILITARy	SCIENCE
Tomaž Kladnik
Upon the publication of renewed issues of the Slovenian Armed Forces Bulletin I 
would like to thank you for your kind and encouraging words. As already mentioned 
in our previous editorials, we have decided to turn the Bulletin into a military-profes-
sional and scientific publication; therefore, we are pleased to receive also less kind, 
but frank opinions since your criticism leads us to a pre-set goal. When you read this 
issue of the Bulletin you will notice that some of your suggestions have already been 
taken into account, while others will be considered in the next issues of the Bulletin. 
Peer-reviewed expert and professional articles written by researches of military 
science from the Slovenian Armed Forces, as well as by external experts, once again 
address a wide area of military sociology. 
Romana Rupar discusses methods and procedures of motivating members of armed 
forces. Boris Bratušek addresses the career system in the Slovenian Armed Forces 
which is a pre-condition for the development of personnel potential in each army 
and also in the Slovenian Armed Forces. Liliana Brožič deals with aspects of deve-
lopment and motivation of Slovenian Armed Forces personnel with scientific titles 
who, through their scientific-research work and relations with Slovenian and foreign 
military and civilian scientific-research institutions, form the foundation for further 
development of the Slovenian Armed Forces. Nataša Troha examines the training in 
leadership skills and the use of a special training ground. 
Mojca Vučko addresses the problem of intergenerational relations, as well as 
harmony among various generations which appear in every military organizati-
on during working processes. Franjo Lipovec connects this issue with the role of 
military clubs in the provision of comprehensive care for members of the Slovenian 
Armed Forces. Andrej and Maja Trampuž deal with results of researches on effects 
of the Art of Living anti-stress programmes.

Marko Jaklič, Marko Hočevar and Aljaž Hribernik address the introduction of outso-
urcing into the Slovenian Armed Forces following the case of Great Britain. 
Authors Margareta Jeraj, Marjana Trontelj, Tjaša Djokić and Bojana Fajdiga tackle 
the military and nature and present them as opponents and allies.
In the article ‘Women in Resistance Movements and Allied Forces during World War 
II’, Valerija Bernik deals with a historical view on women in war and armed forces. 
In his historical article, Tomaž Čas examines the connection between patriotism and 
militia and defines the role of the Police during independence processes in Slovenia. 
At the end, substantive and technical instructions for the publication of articles are 
presented. We would like to encourage you to continue with your writing since only 
in this way the knowledge we possess will become the knowledge of us all, the 
knowledge for the development of the Slovenian Armed Forces.
I wish you a pleasant and fruitful reading.
