Abstract:
Given Romania’s participation in multinational operations under the auspices of
the United Nations and the leadership of international security organizations such as the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union, in this article we have
addressed the issue of optimizing the selection process of personnel participating in such
military actions, which, in our opinion, is not only a necessity, but also a functional reality
that influences the way the entire process is organized. The purpose of this article is to
highlight a series of aspects that influence the management, planning and selection of
military personnel participating in multinational operations outside the country. In the
study conducted, we used the SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and
Threats) as a research method, to identify the normative acts that should be modified at
the level of the military institution, to assess the impact of these changes on the selection
process of military personnel for participation in multinational operations. Through the
research conducted, we analyzed the extent to which the existing regulatory framework
in the analyzed field ensures permanent adaptation to the realities of the new geopolitical
and geostrategic environment, respectively the way in which the management structures
of the personnel in the Romanian army manage to manage the legislative changes specific
to this field.
