Developing Competences and Attitudes among Territorial Defence Personnel

Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 27

Abstract

This article presents aspects of developing the competences of the soldiers of Territorial Defence Forces (TDF) – albeit, due to the vastness of the subject matter, it only partially explores this topic. Particular attention has been paid to the wide spectrum of the competences of a Territorial Defence officer who performs the roles of a commander-educator and instructor, but the competences of the subordinate – a private soldier of this service of the Armed Forces have also been discussed. Additionally, this article indicates rather important aspects of forming soldiers’ personalities and, in consequence, also their attitudes (civic, patriotic, national defence-oriented etc.) which combine to form their professional-personal characteristics.<br/><br/>
