Recreation has a firmly established place in the Armed Forces. As our military establishment has grown and become an important segment of our national life, recreation programs in the Armed Forces have also developed to the point where they are becoming accepted as an important but normal phase of the American recreation movement. Outdated philosophies of military recreation based on charitable considerations are being replaced by modem concepts of the function of free-time programs in military settings.

U.S. experience in raising the armed forces has resulted in persistent political and social tensions. Individual freedom has seldom been held subordinate to national security interests. Executive control and legislative oversight have frequently been in conflict, but with little judicial challenge to either branch. Finally, national controls have assured a continuing influence upon state manning and operation of the militia. Despite inherently conflicting objectives, the resulting balance has provided armed forces sufficient to preserve the nation while largely guaranteeing individual freedoms.

Since World War II we have felt compelled for the first time in our history to maintain large standing forces. It is technology though, not numbers, that provides our edge in the continuing military competition with the Soviet Union. Acquiring advanced weapons is a complex process greatly complicated by our governmental system, which intentionally fragments political power. Mechanisms for improving the efficiency of the weapons acquisition process, however, threaten the very values that we seek to protect with our military power.

For the first time in its recent history living in democracy (since 1975) Spain has been under acaretaker government for slightly over ten months (from December 2015 until October 2016).Therefore, as noted in the subtitle to this article, we could wonder, have the military forces beenin a caretaker role too? To try to answer this question we will focus on the main areas of thesecurity and defense policy developed during the 2011-2015 term, which have their continuityduring this strange and brief term [see Carlos Navajas Zubeldia, ¿Avances? La política deseguridad y defensa de Rajoy (2011-2015) [Advances? Rajoy's security and defense policy],Revista de Estudios en Seguridad Internacional, Vol. 2, No. 2 (2016), pp. 101-129]. Thus, we willanalyze, among other matters, the international missions of the Spanish Armed Forces, relationswith allies, material policy, relations with civil society, personnel policy, etc., all within theframework of the new model of Spanish Armed Forces established in the document El proceso detransformación de las Fuerzas Armadas [The process of transformation of the Armed Forces] ofJanuary 2014. In the epilogue of the paper we will also study the first measures of the new defenseminister, the conservative Maria Dolores de Cospedal, who in November 2016 replaced the alsoconservative Pedro Morenés, who until then held this department since 2011. From amethodological point of view, I would like to stress that I am a specialist in Contemporary History.As a consequence of this, I will use this methodology, but in the context of the field of the ArmedForces and Society

Introduction The united and strong Europe – reformed along the principles introduced previously (see Enlightened Europism) – is going to be able to defend and promote its achievements globally only through a wise and decisive foreign policy with clear strategic aims. However, in my view, the necessary precondition of a successful foreign policy and diplomacy […]
