Each approach has its own inherent limitations. The human terrain approach was a 'quick-fix'. But maybe the US Air Force's model of cross-cultural competence offers more promise.

The article of record may be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15027570.2015.1068499 ; In this article, I examine the extent to which military officers are morally responsible for the actions of others by virtue of shared membership in various groups. I argue that career military officers share membership in morally relevant groups that include their branch of service, Department of Defense and the entire Executive Branch of Government, and I outline the circumstances under which career officers bear moral culpability for the actions of members of this group. A number of implications arise from these findings. The first and most important is that military officers have an interest in ensuring the moral rectitude of government agents specifically as it pertains to their official capacities. Additionally, military officers have a duty not only to be informed about problematic government policies but also to educate themselves on the pertinent legal jurisprudence or ethical considerations. Finally, the Constitutional Paradigm of Military Ethics may be an insufficient guide for the particular sort of moral dilemma dealt with in this article.

La obra de Clausewitz "De la guerra" ha tenido y tiene una importancia extraordinaria en el pensamiento estratégico militar occidental. Muchas ideas se han generado sobre el fenómeno de la guerra que han tenido su origen en este militar y pensador alemán. Sin embargo, las reflexiones y análisis asociados a la ética militar y procedentes de su obra han sido de mucho menor alcance. En este artículo se pretende mostrar que, aunque Clausewitz no introdujo en sus análisis las consideraciones y reflexiones éticas sobre la guerra, dentro de su obra se pueden encontrar importantes elementos que forman parte de la tradición occidental de legitimar el uso de la fuerza (ius ad bellum) y de conducir las operaciones de acuerdo con los usos y reglas de la guerra (ius in bello). ; Clausewitz´s work On War has had and still has an extraordinary importance in the western strategic military thinking. Many thoughts have been generated about the war phenomenon whose origin come from this military and German thinker. Nonetheless, reflections and analysis associated to military ethics and coming from his work are much less widespread. In this paper it is expected to show that although Clausewitz did not include on his analysis the ethical considerations and reflections on warfare, important elements which contribute to the Western tradition in the legitimation of the use of force (ius ad bellum) and the way to conduct the battlefield operations according to the customs and rules of war (ius in bello), can be found inside his work.

This research is aimed to explore and find out the effect of military ethics and motivation on the national commitment of the soldiers of the Indonesian Army. The research is conducted on the soldiers in the rank of non-commissioned and enlisted soldiers at one of the Indonesian Army units in Jakarta. The data is collected with the survey method on the sample that comprises of 83 respondents which are taken with a simple random sampling technique. The data is analyzed quantitatively from an organizational behavior perspective with the Path Analysis technique utilizing SPSS 22 software. The test of normality and linearity of each regression between variables results in a normal distribution of residual and linearly related. The results of this research show that (1) military ethics has a positively direct effect on national commitment; (2) military ethics has a positively direct effect on motivation; (3) motivation has a positively direct effect on national commitment; (4) military ethics has an indirect effect on national commitment through motivation.

Current developments in the area of neuroenhancement pose multiple ethical and societal questions. Improvements in general cognitive capacities can have important positive effects. With the use of several interventions, ranging from pharmaceutics through microsurgery to non-invasive and invasive methods, new possibilities of enhancing human abilities can be achieved. Yet, they have to be critically evaluated from the point of view of both individual and societal consequences that are involved. The aim of this paper is to address societal benefits and challenges that are related to these interventions. These new developments, especially in the specific area of their military application, pose important questions with regard to safety of their use, long-term results, coercion to use them, and issues of inequality. Often, these consequences are unforeseeable at the present moment and can greatly interfere with development of both individuals and societies. Therefore, as in both areas – civilian and military – the long-term consequences are still difficult to predict, prudency is prescribed. Consequently, any use of the methods of enhancement should be under exceptional scrutiny from the ethical as well as legal and social point of view.

The military commander in the field earns his position because he has the mental strength and moral power to enable him to dominate the battlefield. Off the field that responsibility carries civic obligations as well.

There is considerable support for the idea that an atmosphere of safety can foster learning in groups, especially during ethics training courses. However, the question how safety dynamics works during ethics courses is still understudied. This article aims to investigate safety dynamics by examining a critical incident during a military ethics train-the trainer course during which safety was threatened. We examine this incident by means of a four-factor analysis model from the field of Theme-Centered Interaction (TCI). We show that during ethics training courses a safety paradox can occur, involving a tension between honesty and openness to other perspectives and values. Finally, we discuss how trainers can foster safety during ethics training.

In Sixteenth Century Europe, the chivalric values which were in the core of military aristocracy ethics became enriched with court-like ideals. In this paper we study the diffusion of those ideals among army officers of the Hispanic Monarchy in the various kingdoms on the Eastern coasts of Spain. We think that this linking of moral principles made up the basis for a growing discipline among military commanders. ; En la Europa del siglo XVI los valores caballerescos, fundamento de la ética de la aristocracia militar, se enriquecieron con los ideales cortesanos. En este artículo estudiamos la difusión de esos ideales entre los oficiales del ejército de la Monarquía hispánica en los diversos reinos de la España Mediterránea. Estimamos que esta conjunción de principios morales proporcionó la base para una incipiente disciplina de los mandos militares.
