Responding to Change.
A review of the major factors that have affected major West European armed forces in the past 30 years reveals two types of administrative response taking account of the need for consistency with defense objectives. One response consists of bridging the gap with society, becoming more democratic and open to outside influences, curtailing hierarchical authority and instilling new attitudes. In the second type of response, ‘civilianization' jeopardizes the stability and identity of the armed forces. Advanced technology, administrative reforms and consumer thinking have encouraged critical awareness in the population that reduces the appeal of the military profession to vocational training that paves the way for a lucrative civilian career. Responding to change involves coping with two extremes without sliding from adequate self-sufficiency into militarism or from minimum subsistence levels into operational effectiveness that would deprive the armed forces of their raison d'être.
