The Egyptian army was the actor whose decisions during the Egyptian uprising of 2011 mattered most. Should the army have decided to support the regime, the revolution might have ended, at best, with thousands of casualties; at worst, it might have followed the bloody Syrian scenario of a civil war. Yet, after a long period of waiting and hesitation the military leadership eventually opted to support the demonstrators. In this respects, the underlying aim of this study is to scrutinize the key decision of the Egyptian military not to intervene in favor of Mubarak's regime. By exploring the borader context of the military's role in the Egyptian political and economic life, this study seeks to illuminate not only the army's decision to "betray" Mubarak's regime, but also the controversial performance of the army after the revolution., Helena Burgrová., and Obsahuje bibliografii
Jednotlivé funkce maticeC4ISTAR jsou tradiční součástí činnosti armád. Jejich vzájemnou integrací je dosaženo systémové architektury C4ISTAR, která přináší zásadní multiplikační efekt schopností a možností vojenských jednotek. Nyní jsou tyto typy kompletů vyžadovány i pro malé jednotky NATO. Jejich použití je v rámci zahraničních misí nutností, a proto je zavedla do výzbroje i Armáda České republiky (AČR). Článek se zabývá komplety PK JTAC, RK FAC a OK FO, které jsou nasazeny v rámci českých týmů OMLT a PRT na území Afghánistánu a tvoří společně soupravu PS TACP. Jejich hlavním posláním je podporovat užití prostředků palebné podpory NATO (letectvo, dělostřelectvo) a působit ve prospěch vojskového zpravodajství. Obě tyto funkce jsou klíčové i pro využití těchto kompletů při obraně území České republiky. and The particular functions of the C4ISTAR kit are traditional part of the armed forces activities. By their reciprocal integration is reached the C4ISTAR systematic architecture, which is bringing the principal multiplication effect of military units´ abilities and possibilities. Nowadays, these types of the sets are required for the small NATO units too. Their use within the foreign missions scope is necessary and this is the reason why the Army of the Czech Republic also has incorporated them into its weaponry. The article deals with the PK JTAC, RK FAC and OK FO kits, which are deployed in the Afghanistan area within the Czech OMLT and PRT teams. The primary task of these kits is both the support of use of the NATO Fire Support resources (the aircraft, the artillery) and being beneficial to the military intelligence. Both these functions also are crucial for the utilisation of these kits in the Czech Republic area.
