In areas where military or small military conflicts occur or have occurred, there is a wide variety of standardized or improvised explosive mechanisms, which are still unexploded. Explosive mechanisms threaten both the forces and means that contribute to the accomplishment of the missions, freedom of movement / action, causing personal and fighting vehicles losses and making it difficult to use the logistical support means, but not in the end also affects civil society.Keywords: EOD; operational environment; neutralise; IED; UXO.

Implementing a Joint Fire Support Doctrine – Requirement for the Joint OperationAbstract: In this paper we wanted to highlight the importance of developing and implementing in the Romanian Army a jointfire support doctrine that will serve as foundation for common and coherent understanding of specific concepts and terminology forfire support in every branch of the armed forces. The unitary approach and understanding of these concepts constitute a fundamentalneed to provide timely, integrated and synchronized fire support in a joint operation.Although, at Land Forces level, "F.T.-6 – Fire support manual for group force operations" was developed in 2018, and comprisesfire support fundamentals, this manual cannot be sufficient and, in our opinion, a dedicated norm that implements fire support specificprinciples, tactics, techniques and procedures at every armed force branch is required, for responsible personnel with fire support andalso with joint targeting, no matter what force structures are generated for the joint operation. In order to achieve this requirement,we believe it is necessary to develop a dedicated doctrine at the highest national military authority regarding joint fire support, inorder to implement fire support fundamentals in every army branch of the Romanian Army – aspects that currently exist in the landforces manual, as every army branch can contribute with force structures or specialized elements to providing fire support in a jointoperation.

In ɑn erɑ where knowledge is diffusing ɑt ɑ relɑtively rɑpid rɑte, the nɑture ɑnd ex- tent of the relɑtionships enjoyed by ɑ country's militɑry forces with their counterpɑrts ɑbroɑd cɑn become ɑn importɑnt ingredient thɑt enɑbles more effective conversion of nɑtionɑl resources into usɑble militɑry power. Militɑry-to-militɑry relɑtions come in vɑrious forms. At the simplest level, the presence of defense ɑttɑchés in embɑssies ɑbroɑd, functions ɑs one conduit for monitoring new developments in technology, force structure, ɑnd orgɑnizɑtion.

Military geniuses like Hannibal, Caesar, Suvorov or Napoleon proved to the whole world how relatively small armies prevailed through complex battle strategies, ingenuity and courage, through scientific and military knowledge that can make a difference. The technological progress made in the last hundreds of years, based on technical-scientific discoveries, has led the armed struggle to such a high level that technological supremacy, the ratio of forces and military technique are extremely important in the assumption of a military conflict. However, combining conventional resources of combat with modern ones, the use of combined forms and methods of combat, are still issues of general interest, which require adaptable strategies and not least the ingenuity, flair and exuberance of leaders. The impact of new technologies on the military field still remains a dilemma that will probably never be clarified, precisely because of the constant challenges, which are increasingly complex and different.

Given modern warfare's complex and dynamic nature, military deception has become a vital tool in the contemporary operating environment for gaining strategic advantage and achieving operational success. For this reason, countering enemy deception operations has become an operational requirement to support mission accomplishment. Furthermore, with the increased use of modern technologies and information warfare tactics by adversaries, intelligence has become a critical asset in countering enemy deception operations and protecting the safety and security of military personnel and operations. The Russian-Ukrainian ongoing war has proven once again that deception remains a viable tool in the contemporary operating environment and can still have a huge impact on the battlefield. Considering its value, this article explores approaches to diminish and counter the impact of deception at the operational level of war. Moreover, our research explores how the joint function of intelligence can support the efforts of counter-deception throughout its entire process.

Având în vedere natura complexă și dinamică a războiului modern, inducerea în eroare a devenit un instrument vital în mediul de operare contemporan pentru realizarea succesului operațional și obținerea avantajelor strategice. Din acest motiv, contracararea acestor tipuri de acțiuni desfășurate de inamic reprezintă o cerință operațională crucială, în sprijinul realizării efectelor dorite și, în consecință, îndeplinirii misiunii. În plus, odată cu sporirea utilizării tehnologiilor moderne și a tacticilor de război informațional de către posibilii adversari, informațiile au devenit o resursă esențială în operațiile de contracarare a acțiunilor înșelătoare ale acestora, prin asigurarea unui nivel ridicat de protecție și siguranță a personalului și operațiilor militare proprii. Războiul ruso-ucrainean în desfășurare a dovedit încă o dată că inducerea în eroare rămâne un instrument viabil în mediul de operare contemporan și poate fi considerată, în continuare, un multiplicator uriaș al efectelor operaționale pe câmpul de luptă. Având în vedere aceste considerente, studiul de față explorează diferite abordări pentru diminuarea și contracararea impactului înșelăciunii la nivelul operativ al conflictului și identifică modalități concrete prin care funcția întrunită "Informații" poate sprijini eforturile de contracarare a inducerii în eroare a adversarului, pe parcursul întregului său proces

Genii militare, precum Hannibal, Cezar, Suvorov sau Napoleon, au dovedit lumii întregi cum armate relativ mici s-au impus prin strategii de luptă complexe, prin ingeniozitate și curaj, prin cunoștințe științifice și militare care pot face diferența. Progresul tehnologic, realizat, în ultimele sute de ani, pe baza descoperirilor tehnico-științifice, a condus lupta armată către un nivel atât de ridicat încât supremația tehnologică, raportul de forțe și tehnică militară sunt extrem de importante în asumarea unui conflict militar. Totuși, îmbinarea mijloacelor de luptă convenționale cu cele moderne, utilizarea unor forme și procedee de luptă combinate sunt încă probleme de interes general, care necesită strategii adaptabile și, nu în ultimul rând, ingeniozitatea, flerul și exuberanța conducătorilor. Impactul noilor tehnologii asupra domeniului militar rămâne încă o problemă care nu va fi clarificată, probabil, niciodată, tocmai din cauza provocărilor constante, care sunt din ce în ce mai complexe și diferite.

Deception has long been an essential component of military operations. It can be considered a tactic as old as warfare, having been used since immemorial times. From Sun Tzu's "Art of War" to the present days, military strategists have recognized its power to turn the tide of conflict. Although, over the years, the methods, means and techniques specific to it have continuously evolved, along with technological developments, its basic principle remains the same: portraying a false reality to the adversary that leads to the materialization of operational opportunities, by causing the adversary to adopt courses of action disadvantageous to him. As the battlefield has become increasingly complex, the ability to deceive the adversary has also become an increasingly important asset to the success of military operations. Today, in an era of instant and abundant information, deception has paradoxically become more difficult to achieve and more critical to operational success. The deceptive action of the Ukrainians at Kherson last September against the Russians once again demonstrated its importance on the modern battlefield. However, many military planners tend to overlook this key aspect of military strategy despite its importance. This oversight can lead to grave consequences in the modern battlefield, where the enemy's ability to gather intelligence can hinder operational success. For this reason, the present paper is an analysis of how deception actions can be integrated into the operational planning process at the operational level in order to maximize the chances of their success and, consequently, the military operation success. The need for such a scientific approach arises from the complexity of the deception process, which places a special emphasis not only on the thoroughness in planning these actions but also on the need to integrate and synchronize them with other military actions.
