Posodobljeni strateški politični in usmerjevalno-planski dokumenti Republike Slovenije (RS so sorazmerno dobra podlaga za nadaljnji razvoj obrambnega sistema in transformacijo Slovenske vojske (SV. V dvajsetih letih je bilo narejenega veliko, predvsem SV je glede na čas doživela najbolj dramatične spremembe. Uresničevanje novih strategij je treba nadaljevati in preseči trenutno ambivalentnost. Zastavljene cilje je mogoče doseči s krepitvijo konsistentne obrambne politike in načrtovanja, podprtih z ustreznimi viri. Obrambni sistem in SV bosta morala biti vedno bolj pri- lagodljiva za različne naloge in potrebe, zato utegne modularni pristop organizira- nja prispevati k njuni učinkovitosti. Pri definiranju organizacije SV je treba osvojiti celovit pristop. SV bo še naprej organizirana kot enovita vojska, brez delitve na zvrsti. Glede na prostor in potrebe usklajenega načrtovanja sil in delovanja v Natu pa bo upoštevala delitev sil znotraj zavezništva za opravljanje nalog na kopnem, v zračnem prostoru in na morju. Njena organizacija bo temeljila na delitvi na bojne enote, enote bojne podpore, enote za zagotovitev bojnega delovanja in enote za podporo pove- ljevanju. Organizacijska struktura SV bo leta 2025 zagotavljala možnost modular- nega sestavljanja sil za izvajanje nalog ob največji mogoči racionalizaciji povelj- niške strukture. Pri organiziranju sil bodo upoštevana predvsem vojaškostrokovna načela in načela učinkovitosti ob upoštevanju načel gospodarnosti. Obseg Slovenske vojske, pa tudi njeno konfiguracijo in značaj, bodo določali različni, med seboj pre- pleteni dejavniki, kot so demografski, ekonomski, politični in drugi. Celovit pristop pri dodeljevanju nalog znotraj države in celostna uporaba virov pri upravljanju in reševanju varnostnih izzivov pa sta ključnega pomena. Slovenija bo v prihodnosti samozavestnejša v premisleku o svoji organiziranosti, delovanju, dojemanju prilo- žnosti in uresničitvi svojih ambicij. The updated strategic policy as well as steering and planning documents of the Republic of Slovenia represent a relatively good platform for further development of the defence system and the transformation of the Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF). A lot has been achieved in the past twenty years. The Slovenian Armed Forces in parti - cular have faced dramatic changes considering the period in which they were imple- mented. Slovenia should continue to implement new strategies and try to overcome the temporary ambivalence. The planned goals can be achieved by reinforcing consi- stent defence policy and planning, supported by appropriate resources. The Defence System and the SAF in particular will have to be increasingly flexible when it comes to different assignments and needs, and perhaps the modular approach to its orga- nization will contribute to its efficiency. A comprehensive approach will have to be taken when defining SAF structure. The SAF will continue to be organized as a unified force, without branches. However, because of coordinated force planning and work within NATO, it will respect the division of forces for the performance of tasks on land, in the air and at sea. The organization of the SAF will be based on Combat, Combat Support, Combat Service Support and Command and Control Support units. The 2025 SAF structure will allow for modular force generation for the performance of tasks, taking into account the highest possible rationalization of the command structure. The organisation of forces will mainly follow the principles of the military profession, efficiency and economy of effort. The size of the SAF as well as its configuration and character will be determined by several interrelated factors, such as demographic, political, economic factors, etc. Nevertheless, a com- prehensive approach and comprehensive use of resources in managing and dealing with the security risks will be crucial. In the future, Slovenia will demonstrate more self-confidence when it comes to considering the organization of its defence, perfor- mance, understanding of opportunities and realisation of the existing and growing ambitions.
