This study describes the inner design of military forces in a
German democracy-Innere Fuehrung-in the face of new challenges.
"Transformation" and its various manifestations, including EBAO and
NCW/NCO are contrasted with Innere Fuehrung. Differences of
contemporary NATO, U.S., and German concepts are discussed and
possible connection points for Innere Fuehrung are highlighted.Some
of the approaches examined are dominated by the extensive use of
technology. The analysis is focused on a possible contradiction
between technology and Innere Fuehrung as an enabler of successful
interagency cooperation. The study concludes that Innere Fuehrung
is a guiding principle based on the application of the German
constitution, the Basic Law, to the reality of soldierly service.
In contrast to Transformation or RMA, Innere Fuehrung emphasizes
the human being as a citizen rather than technology as tools of
war. Innere Fuehrung constitutes the heart of the Bundeswehr's
institutional culture and remains applicable in the present.
Citizens in uniform at home in the pluralism of state and society
are best able to adapt to the security and defense challenges of
the present-in contrast to an exclusive military caste or an
outsourced mercenary horde.
