1.1
Today’s global security and strategic
environment influences national defence. One
of the dynamics which needs to be observed
during the next five years is economic
growth and how it affects regional military
power enhancement. The dynamics greatly
affect the pattern and form of threat which is
increasingly complex and multidimensional
with the continued presence of military and
non-military threat, and hybrid threat which
can be categorized as factual and non-factual.
These threats include terrorism, radicalism,
separatism and armed rebellions, natural
disasters, border violations, sea piracy and
natural resources theft, epidemics, cyber
attacks and espionage, trafficking and drug
abuse as well conventional war or armed
conflicts. In country conditions cannot be
separated from the influence of the strategic
environment triggered by ideology, political,
economical, socio-cultural, and security
factors. These developments become
challenges in managing the national defence.
