Abstract:
Armed forces are currently in the environment with moral ambiguity and multiple cultures. In face of the chaos, corruption, and wasteful trend in current social value system, continuous conflict is bothering the cultivation and atmosphere of military character. Under the situation, officers and soldiers could easily fall into bad belief and become indifferent to surrounding affairs with apathy. Various military discipline events appear in domestic armed forces in past years; besides, the exaggeration and report of print media and electronic media, and even some officers and soldiers spilling, smearing, and slandering each other to defile others’ innocence destroy the image of armed forces. Military character presents close relations with integrity building action. Aiming at military personnel in Ministry of National Defense, total 420 copies of questionnaire are distributed, and 347 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 83%. The research results are summarized as below. Factors in the effectiveness of armed forces personnel’s anti-corruption governance contain micro aspects of lack of legal and disciplinary ideas and value deviation of armed forces personnel as well as macro aspect of complicated approval operation and rules resulting in lobbying interfering businesses. The effectiveness of armed forces personnel’s anti-corruption governance not being affirmed by the society is related to the engagement of supervisors at all levels in anti-corruption work, as armed forces personnel are restricted to the political environment and aging senior customs personnel that the director’s engagement in anti-corruption work is not manifested. Armed forces personnel involving in internal anti-corruption problems are minimized to largely reduce the effectiveness of anti-corruption governance. According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting to improve problems resulted from military discipline and to promote the armed forces’ image of integrity, being close to the people, and loving the people.

Abstract:
This article presents the problems of military operations in the context of the local culture, which is of essential importance to the conducted military actions. Despite the globalisation process, which, as it seems, blurs cultural diperences, these diperences still exist, and in many cases they even get deeper. vis complex situation is also combined with conuicting interests of various state and non- -state entities and social groups. A part of this image of the reality is the phenomenon of war, present from the beginning of the human civilisation. It should be noted that cultural diperences are among the major causes of wars. Only for such a reason, the area of military operation becomes culturally alien at least for one of the parties to the conuict. We should also consider the operations conducted by international forces in diperent parts of the world, where oqen a multicultural military contingent operates in a culturally alien environment. vese are particularly complex issues, which cannot be entirely explained, hence the scientitc discussion presented below is merely an attempt to diagnose the most important problems without identifying specitc solutions. Attention was paid to cultural factors apecting the sources of conuict and their developments and the cultural shape of the environment of military operations. Among the global phenomena, which determine the course of the future armed conuicts, the cultural transformation of society and the related tensions, global culture of trade, migration, mass communication and information technologies as well as the revival of religion and nationalism are mentioned. We should also bear in mind the local conditions, which include social, political, governance, assessment and evaluation, communicational and organisational aspects as well as the aspects of acceptance of autonomy by the parties to the conuict.

Abstract:
The subject of the research in this paper are contemporary aspects of the relation between branches of the state power and the Armed Forces. The general starting hypothesis was: "If the state power holders do not have stable support in economic and political actors of the social structure and do not ensure their interaction with social, political, cultural, information and communications and security system, then the execution of the modern role of the Armed Forces in the political system is difficult." Almost all main analytical and synthetic methods of knowledge have been used in the paper, and the comparative method when it comes to general scientific methods. From the data collection methods the operational method of document content analysis has been used. The paper emphasizes several main findings, first of all, that the Armed Forces and other elements of the defence system in the process of protection of vital social values should be under constant supervision and civilian control of the legitimately elected legislative power, and the executive power should provide conditions, budget and supreme command and through ministerial instructions give guidelines and priorities for the development of the Armed Forces and directly control them. The judicial power sanctions anti-constitutional and illegal actions of the Armed Forces members, as well as other citizens of the society, but also protects the rights and freedoms of those who seek justice.

Abstract:
An analysis of some aspects of professional and psychological selection in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is presented. The diagnosis of social, psychological, psychophysiological, psychomotor qualities and physiological reserves of the bodies of candidates for service is generalized. The order, mechanisms, and methodological basis of professional selection in the Armed Forces have been determined. Systematized the requirements for educational activities in higher military educational institutions (military training units of higher education institutions) (HMEI) (MTUHEI) of Ukraine and professional activities in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The structure of the individual and psychological characteristics of the candidate for training, which he must have in order to successfully master the profession and fulfil his professional and service duties, is highlighted. Modern professional psychological selection is considered as a complex scientific problem, on the one hand, as a system, on the other – as a process. The stages of psychological selection based on a systematic approach have been supplemented and detailed. Recommendations are given for improving the comprehensive program of professional and psychological selection, increasing the effectiveness of the system of professional psychological selection of candidates for military service under contract and for training at the HMEI (MTUHEI) (creating a standardized systematic approach to psychological selection in the Armed Forces, studying professionally important qualities, indications and contraindications for service, development of professional profiles (acmeograms) of military specialists, adequate selection methods with various candidate criteria and formation of the most informative test psychodiagnostic batteries for studying and determining individual psychological characteristics of the personality, forecasting the development of mental processes and states in relation to the conditions and requirements of future activities in various military specialties, implementation of the automated systems for staffing military units at various stages of selection).

Abstract:
Millenialls currently are one of the largest members of the age cohorts performing military service among the world armies, also in the armed forces of Lithuania. The expectations of Millenialls individuals are far more individualistic compared to previous generations: generation X, baby boomers. Researches show that millennials more often quit their jobs if the content of jobs do not meet their individual expectations. The vast majority of early military retirees in the Lithuanian armed forces belong to the category of junior officers (senior lieutenants and captains). The aim of this research is to reveal the value features of the social integration of the individuals of the millennium generation (officers, non-commissioned officers) serving in the Lithuanian Armed Forces. The research is done by qualitative research method using a semistructural interview approach- a total of 22 informants were interviewed. The study shows that these sociocultural aspects are condition of social inclusion in the organization (or allienation): the importance of self-realization (more important than career) versus unfulfilled expectations in military service, individual expression versus restriction of individual expression, the importance of favorable conditions to be creative versus meaningless content of the service. This study shows what socio-cultural challenges are relevant when talking about the integration of people today in the Lithuanian Armed Forces and that the socio-cultural content of military service will be increasingly significant and relevant in the future.

Abstract:
The article deals with the socio-philosophical aspects of the functioning of the military sphere of national security of the Belarusian state. With the increase of military violence in the world, the task of preserving and developing the state becomes a priority. The military sphere of national security ensures the creation of safe conditions in the military space for the life and development of a person, community and the state itself and is a factor of stable development of the social system. Taking into consideration the historical development the stabilizing effect of the armed forces on the state and society has been described. With the training of the form of prospective war, the tasks of the military organization of the state, the core of which are the armed forces are clearly defined in our country. The positive influence of the armed forces on the development of society is shown. The basis for achieving security goals is military activity, which is a synthetic phenomenon and takes place in all spheres of community life. It is emphasized that the implementation of the military security subsystem task is the living conditions of the entire social system. External attention is drawn to the formulation of the goals of military policy as an essential factor in maintaining socio-political stability. The primary task of the military sphere of the national security of Belarus is to ensure comprehensive and encouraging efficiency at all levels of the social system. The article demonstrates the need to analyze the technologies of warfare, improve analytical and experimental support for the development of the military sphere, which can withstand the challenges and threaten the XXI century. It is concluded that the military sphere of national security and its armed forces is an important factor not only in the strategic deterrence of aggression, but also in the socio-economic development of the community, increasing its vitality and stability.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the religious situation in the Ukrainian society, as well as its impact on the formation and development of military-religious relations in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 1991–2017. Religion, as one of the leading forms of social consciousness, is an important factor in the formation of civil society and in the development of channels of its communication with state institutions. The Church has traditionally played the role of an important subject of the socio-political life in the history of the Ukrainian people. The relationship between Russian-Ukrainian relations and their impact on state-religious relations in Ukraine and its Armed Forces has been studied. The main tendencies of the development of military-religious relations in the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been clarified. The transformation processes that influenced the change of the existing models of support of religious needs for the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the studied period, are analyzed here/in this article. In particular, some historical aspects of socio-political processes that influenced the formation and development of military-religious relations, and the institutionalization of the military clergy (chaplaincy) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the period under study are highlighted. In today’s conditions, military chaplains have gained significant experience of service in the war zone, have strong national and patriotic convictions, are able to withstand significant psychological and physical stress, and are ready to carry out pastoral service in any environment.

Abstract:
Eating behavior is a selection of definite food subconsciously aimed at meeting physiological needs from main nutrients and energy. Genetic aspects of human metabolism as well as various environmental factors including social-psychological factors have a significant impact on the appearance and a further retention of definite food excesses of each person. Healthy lifestyle promotion (including compliance with nutrition prescription, preference to balanced daily rations cor responding with the level of daily energy needs) helps to form human eating behavior based on nutrition laws that promotes preservation and strengthening of public health (the military personnel). Formation of proper eating behavior may become an important preventive measure for preservation and strengthening of the health of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Navy of the Russian Federation. Increasing of daily energy needs due to introduction of new model of physical fitness in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation exerts a considerable impact on an eating behavior in the military personnel. Correction of an eating behavior in the military draft servicemen in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as well as observance of the principles of healthy nutrition may be conducted by means of outreach interviews with specified cohort. Possible changes in eating behavior may be monitored using special tests and questionnaires allowing to execute its overall assessment. Dynamic assessment of eating behavior may take rightful place in the system of scientific study of lifestyle of the military and also be in active use on further improvement of food service system of the Armed Forces of the RF and the Navy of the RF. Significance of assessment of eating behavior in the military will not be irrelevant in the near future but, to the contrary, will gradually increase in connection with advances in science, promotion of food fit to personal genetic aspects and improvement of food service system of the Army Forces of the RF.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an exploration of the construction of the gendered body in combat in the late twentieth century, in Australia and the United States of America. While it is not a military history, aspects of military history, and representations of war and warriors are used as the vehicle for the analysis of the politics of representing gender. The mythic, the material and the media(ted) body of the gendered warrior are examined in the realms of ‘real’ military histories and news coverage, and in the ‘speculative’ arena of popular culture. Through this examination, the continuities and ruptures inherent in the gendered narratives of war and warriors are made apparent, and the operation of the politics of representing gender in the public arena is exposed. I have utilised a number of different approaches from different disciplines in the construction of this thesis: feminist and non-feminist responses to women in the military; aspects of military histories and mythologies of war specific to Australia and the United States; theories on the construction of masculinities and femininities; approaches to gender identity in popular news media, film and television. Through these approaches I have sought to bring together the history of women in the military institutions of Australia and the United States, and examine the nexus between the expansion of women’s military roles and the emergence of the female warrior hero in popular culture. I have, as a result, analysed the constructions of masculinity and femininity that inform the ongoing association of the military with ‘quintessential masculinity’, and deconstructed the real and the mythic corporeal capacities of the gendered body so important to warrior identity. Regardless, or perhaps because of, the importance of gender politics played out in and through the representations of soldier identity, all their bodies must be considered speculative.

Abstract:
This study aims to investigate how social media are used to communicate organizational identity and image. The studied research question is how do young adults perceive the identity and image of the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF) through the organization's use of social media. The research on organizational identity within government agencies and people’s perception on organizations is limited. Therefore, we aim to expand the research on this subject using organizational identity as a theoretical concept. As organizations exists in the social context of today’s digital society, it is valuable to investigate how an organization’s identity and image is perceived externally. We conducted semi-structured reflective interviews with young adults and with an organization representative. Our findings show that young adults view the SAF’s social media use to improve their image and for recruitment purposes. In conclusion, our findings show that this social media use and perceptions of it, are reflective with the theories of organizational identity and image and highlights the importance of the external organizational image.

Full text
Abstract:
On the 12 June 1996, the Australian Special Forces were conducting night-time counterterrorism training when two Black Hawk helicopters transporting Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) troops collided mid-air. Eighteen personnel were killed, including members from the elite SASR and crew from the 5th Aviation Regiment. In the aftermath of this accident a charity, the Special Air Service Resources Trust, was established to provide ongoing support to the dependants of those killed. This trust is now the Special Air Service Resources Fund (SASRF), and it continues to support the dependants of those killed and the injured from the accident. There is significant research on the outcomes of sudden and violent deaths; however, there is a paucity of available literature that articulates the lived experiences of those impacted by the Black Hawk accident. There is also no known available literature that articulates the lived experiences of the dependants of the killed soldiers and the injured survivors in terms of the SASRF model of support. The aim of this qualitative research was to understand the lived experiences of those individuals impacted by the Black Hawk accident. This included the experiences of those provided support by the SASRF. For this purpose, the Bronfenbrenner (1986) socio-ecological model of development was utilised as the framework to guide the study. This model emphasises the importance of expanding bereavement studies to include significant others as participants and a wide range of systems as influencing factors on bereavement outcomes. The methodology for this study involved the descriptive approach of transcendental phenomenology, selected for its encouragement to put aside the personal experiences and biases of the researcher. Data collection involved an analysis of documents sourced from media sources, television documentaries, government records, historical records and books. A five question online survey was also conducted with participants recruited through social media and email invitation. This method of recruitment reflected the need for creative strategies when researching hard-to- reach populations such as Special Forces. A total of 162 documents and 24 survey responses using purposive sampling were collected. Using the Moustakas modified van Kaam method for data analysis, five emergent themes and one predetermined theme were identified. These themes indicated that bereavement outcomes, the impact of bureaucracy, meaning-making, survivor experiences and bereavement support formed the essence of the lived experiences. The pre-determined theme of SASRF indicated social support as an important characteristic of the lived experiences. The significance of this study is grounded in its contributions to understanding bereavement in the context of Special Forces’ sudden and violent deaths. It is the first qualitative study that specifically sought to understand the lived experiences of those impacted by the Black Hawk accident, and the first known study involving Australian Special Forces non-combat deaths. It contributes to the SASRF mission by defining the central elements of bereavement support in the specific sociocultural context. The findings demonstrate a need for significant change in the field of military bereavement support and the education of social workers. The evidence base enables social workers as agents of change to contribute to the enhancement of relevant policies. The evidence also contributes to the knowledge base of political entities, bureaucracies and community support agencies that do, or might wish to, provide bereavement support in the context of Special Forces accidents.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the phenomenon of child-soldiering from a different perspective. It seeks to challenge, using a novel approach, earlier studies on the roles of former child-soldiers in post-war societies. It focuses on the subjectivity of young veterans, that is war veterans formerly associated with armed forces and groups as children during the 14-year gruesome civil war which bedevilled Liberia between 1989 and 2003. This civil war claimed roughly 250,000 lives, and saw the active participation of approximately 21,000 child-soldiers. This thesis departs from previous works which mostly painted an apocalyptic picture of young veterans, and explores the nexus between their self-agency, Foucauldian technologies of the self and their transformation in the post-war society. The majority of previous scholarly works which have dominated the field of child-soldiering dwelt on the impact of armed conflict on the child-soldiers, the negative consequences, the causes of child-soldiering, and the rehabilitation and reintegration of the young veterans after their disarmament and demobilization. What this thesis seeks to do however, is to establish that, rather than considering the young veterans simply as social misfits, distraught and dispirited human beings, it should be noted that young veterans through their agency, are capable of ensuring their reintegration into their war-ravaged societies. Sadly, these young former fighters’ self-agency and technologies of the self in defining their civilian trajectories have often been overshadowed by vaunted humanitarian aid and multilayered war-profiteering. This study is underpinned by interpretive constructivism, symbolic interactionism, social identity theory, sociometer theory and expectancy theory, and sheds light on how young veterans’ self-agency, instrumental coalitions, and decision-making processes, synergistically shifted the negative identities foisted on them as a result of their participation in the war.

Abstract:
Au cours de ces dernières années, les forces armées de différents pays ont de plus en plus été amenées à travailler sur les mêmes théâtres d’opérations. Cette collaboration militaire multinationale, même si elle n’est pas souhaitée par tous, s’est généralisée à l’ensemble des missions militaires. C’est ce cadre multinational et de spécialisation croissante, mais aussi le caractère interagence à travers les contacts entretenus avec les intervenants civils et les populations locales qui caractérisent les missions actuelles. Et, même si les décisions d’engagement restent fixées en dernier ressort par les gouvernements nationaux, la configuration multinationale et modulaire des forces armées est devenue inévitable. Aussi, en choisissant comme objet d’étude les militaires belges déployés dans des opérations militaires multinationales, on s’est attaché à analyser, d’une part, comment se passe le travail dans ces environnements à risques et fortement diversifiés et, d’autre part, le type de collaboration observée entre les contingents nationaux.

Tout comme les autres organisations, les armées de différents pays se regroupent au sein de task forces spécifiques et temporaires qui nécessitent une configuration organisationnelle plus flexible ainsi qu’une culture d’organisation davantage adaptée à ces nouveaux cadres de travail. Aussi, l’objectif de la première partie est, précisément, de se pencher sur ces deux dimensions, structurelle et culturelle, de l’organisation militaire belge pour comprendre ensuite les interactions sociales observées dans les milieux opérationnels étudiés. Dans un premier chapitre, on s’attache à montrer les changements rencontrés dans la plupart des organisations militaires des pays industrialisés mais aussi, plus spécifiquement, les réformes institutionnelles entreprises pour moderniser les forces armées belges. Le deuxième chapitre aborde ensuite les éléments culturels que l’on retrouve au cœur de l’organisation militaire. Traditionnellement considérée comme un ensemble homogénéisé par une culture organisationnelle forte et cohésive, dans une perspective de différenciation, on relèvera les éléments croissants de diversité culturelle interne qui rendent l’organisation plus diverse tout en rendant la coordination de l’ensemble plus délicate.

La deuxième partie- empirique- aborde trois études de cas qui ont été menées dans un contexte géographique et institutionnel particulier :en Afghanistan pour la mission ISAF, au Liban pour la mission UNIFIL et en Bosnie-Herzégovine pour la mission Althea. Au niveau de la récolte des données, l’approche méthodologique suivie est de nature essentiellement inductive et combine différentes méthodes de récolte de données (observation et entretiens sur le terrain, questionnaires quantitatifs, rapports de lessons learned, articles de presse, etc.). En procédant par analyses comparatives et en se basant sur les récits, les pratiques observées, les conversations informelles, ces approches permettent de mieux comprendre la perception subjective de la réalité sociale par les militaires ainsi que les interactions observées. Les données relatives à la mission menée par l’OTAN en Afghanistan ont été collectées à Kaboul où les militaires belges étaient déployés sur l’aéroport aux côtés d’une trentaine de nations. Ces données ont notamment servi de base pour appliquer le modèle des rôles managériaux de Mintzberg à des managers belges opérant dans des circonstances exceptionnelles. Dans un second temps, on s’est également penché sur l’étude des équipes de reconstruction provinciale qui ont été déployées dans la plupart des provinces afghanes et sur la délicate collaboration entre les acteurs civils et militaires à Kunduz. La deuxième étude de cas, relative à la mission de l’ONU au sud-Liban, s’intéresse d’une part à la cohabitation belgo-polonaise au camp de Tibnine et, d’autre part, au fonctionnement de l’état-major multinational de la force à Naqoura. Enfin, le séjour en Bosnie-Herzégovine a permis d’étudier le déploiement de militaires belges dans un cadre européen, sous l’égide de l’EUFOR. Le troisième et dernier chapitre de cette partie fait, en quelque sorte, la synthèse des différents éléments, théoriques et empiriques, relevé et les combine dans une tentative de modélisation théorique des principaux facteurs de coopération militaire multinationale.

Sur base de nombreux extraits des données recueillies in situ, ce travail s’attache à montrer que la multinationalisation des milieux militaires opérationnels présente non seulement des avantages mais aussi de nouveaux challenges. Elle est ainsi fortement appréciée par les ‘petits’ pays, comme la Belgique, qui peuvent ainsi prendre part simultanément à différentes missions en mettant à disposition des capacités limitées mais spécialisées dans certaines niches de compétences. A travers les synergies opérées, ces formes de collaboration permettent de limiter les coûts liés aux déploiements opérationnels tout en assurant une certaine crédibilité par rapport aux engagements internationaux. Toutefois, même si cette multinationalisation est plus fréquente que par le passé, en raison de difficultés diverses (linguistiques, logistiques, caveats, etc.), elle reste encore souvent marginale au niveau des plus petites unités organisationnelles. C’est généralement à partie d’un certain niveau hiérarchique ou de spécialisation que l’on retrouve des militaires étrangers travaillant dans des équipes multinationales. Le fait que la majorité des militaires belges continuent surtout à travailler avec des collègues nationaux n’implique pas pour autant qu’ils n’ont aucun contact avec les militaires étrangers. Vivant dans des espaces confinés et, à l’exception des contacts virtuels avec la famille et les proches, les relations avec les autres militaires représentent leur seule vie sociale pendant plusieurs mois et c’est donc aussi et surtout à ce niveau que l’influence du contexte multinational se fait sentir.

Dans la lignée de d’Iribarne qui parlait de logique de l’arrangement en faisant référence à la culture belge, les comportements des militaires semblent autant régulés par cette conception particulière de la coopération et cette recherche d’accords informels que par le respect des ordres. Mais c’est sans doute aussi le sentiment d’appartenir à une organisation militaire dont l’influence est plus limitée qui semble encourager ses membres à adopter des comportements propices au développement de relations inter-organisationnelles ou de ce que l’on a qualifié de logique de la débrouillardise.

Verksamhetens säkerhet är direkt beroende av hur personal inom verksamheten agerar utifrån ett säkerhetsperspektiv. Syftet är att belysa hur Försvarsmakten förmedlar informationssäkerheten kring smarta enheter och hur personalen påverkas utifrån det. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom en kvalitativ fallstudie i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer med två olika grupper. Resultatet analyseras med hjälp av ett teoretiskt ramverk bestående av Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) och General Deterrence Theory (GDT) i syfte att belysa vad det är som avgör personalens beteende. Teorierna utgår från att beteendet påverkas av rädsla för sanktioner eller för hot mot verksamhet och individ. Resultatet visar att aspekter från de båda teorierna är närvarande hos personalen och att det som påverkar den enskildes agerande beror på vilken information organisationen delgett och individernas personliga uppfattningar. Personalen är medveten om de risker som följer av användningen av smarta enheter, men enheterna används ändå i stor utsträckning. Faktorer som spelar in i intentionen är kunskapsnivån, befattningen individen besitteroch arbetsområdet individen verkar inom.
This paper examines the intention to use smart devices by staff in the Swedish Armed Forces,which is an organization with a high need for operational security. The security of the business isdependent on how staff within the business behave, in a security perspective. The purpose is toelucidate how the Swedish Armed Forces conveys information security regarding smart devicesand how their staff are affected. The empirical material has been collected through a qualitativecase study in the form of semi-structured interviews with two different groups. The results areanalyzed using a theoretical framework consisting of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) andGeneral Deterrence Theory (GDT) in order to elucidate what determines the behavior of the staff.The theories are based on the fact that behavior is affected by fear of sanctions or threats to thebusiness and individuals. The result shows that aspects in both theories are present in the staffbehavior. What influences the individual's actions depends on what information the organizationhas shared and the personal perceptions of the individuals. Factors that play into the intention arethe level of knowledge, the position the individual possesses and the area of work the individualoperates within.

Abstract:
The fast technology development for military unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) has led to a considerable demand to explore the soldier’s role in an interactive UGV system. This thesis explores how to design interactive systems for UGVs for infantry soldiers in the Swedish Armed Force. This was done through a user-centered design approach in three steps; (1) identifying the design drivers of the targeted military context through qualitative observations and user interviews, (2) using the design drivers to investigate concepts for controlling the UGV, and (3) create and evaluate a prototype of an interactive UGV system design. Results from interviews indicated that design drivers depend on the physical and psychological context of the intended soldiers. In addition, exploring the different concepts showed that early conceptual designs helped the user express their needs of a non-existing system. Furthermore, the results indicate that an interactive UGV system does not necessarily need to be at the highest level of autonomy in order to be useful for the soldiers on the field. The final prototype of an interactive UGV system was evaluated using a demonstration video, a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and semi-structured user interviews. Results from this evaluation suggested that the soldiers see the potential usefulness of an interactive UGV system but are not entirely convinced. In conclusion, this thesis argues that in order to design an interactive UGV system, the most critical aspect is the soldiers’ acceptance of the new system. Moreover, for soldiers to accept the concept of military UGVs, it is necessary to understand the context of use and the needs of the soldiers. This is done by involving the soldiers already in the conceptual design process and then throughout the development phases.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses specific aspects of palliative care related to veterans who are living with serious illness and those at end of life. Veterans of any country can be considered a special population because of their sacrifice and service to their nation, regardless of whether they served after volunteering or being drafted. This chapter, however, concentrates on veterans of the United States Armed Forces and profiles Vietnam-era veterans, who are the largest living cohort of veterans over age 65. The end-of-life experiences of post-Vietnam veterans have not been systematically studied and therefore not discussed extensively except to make readers aware of the person’s potential veteran status and to alert social workers to remain informed of veteran-specific resources to help that individual. Similarly, the experiences of veterans and the COVID-19 pandemic have not been studied, but the authors offer learning from their experiences working with veterans and their families who have been affected by the virus.
