Abstract:

The Armed Forces should manage the process of education and training of personnel to increase the level of readiness to execute tasks in a potential operating environment. This could be ensured by careful planning, but mainly by conducting education and training of staff so that it is high quality, effective, focused on the final state, and at the same time to reflect the threats arising from the operating environment.

The aim of the paper is to identify what characteristics of engineer officers should be developed by education, due to their necessity for the comprehensive performance of engineering tasks, especially aimed at enhancement of the mobility.

With regard to the above aspects, the paper is therefore focused at designing the basic parameters of the specific education of engineer officers so that they could complexly perform tasks in the contemporary and future operating environment after its completion. The paper builds on the knowledge gained from domestic and foreign scientific and professional publications focused on the training and education of engineer officers.

Based on the results of the research, it is visible that without professionally trained staff, especially engineer officers, the performance of engineering tasks may not be optimal, which may affect the end state of operations.

The presented set of necessary characteristics of engineer officers and the way of their systematic development could improve and strengthen their competence to act. The development of this competence also increases the effectiveness of mobility support, by improving its sustainability and versatility.
