Uncertainty is a constant in war. Militaries regularly go into conflicts with operational concepts that are not relevant in the face of the enemy and his plans. The authors propose a way to reduce uncertainty and rapidly check, then adapt, the operational concept — designed learning operations at the beginning of campaigns. These relatively small operations will create friction with the enemy, giving learning teams crucial information to assess their operational concepts. Learning operations offer conventional militaries a way to maximize their advantages over sub-state enemies, by concentrating learning at the outset of the fight and adapting first.

The motivation and professional values of soldiers involved in Other People's Wars is one of the most important knowledge necessary for effective command and control. Those were main reasons for an extensive questionnaire survey among soldiers, deployed in PRT ISAF in 2010-2011. One of the key topics was motivation to leave for Afghanistan, professional expectations and evaluations of external and internal environment of the mission. The purpose of this paper is to present the basic outlines of values of today's Czech soldiers, their professional motives and expectations. The results are interpreted in the context of Moskos' theory of the contradiction between institutional and occupational orientations of present armed forces and adapted to the actual social and political state of affairs.

Motivace a profesní hodnotová orientace vojáků v tzv. other people's wars je jednou z nejdůležitějších informací nutných pro efektivní velení a řízení. Jedním z témat rozsáhlého výzkumu mezi vojáky AČR nasazenými v ISAF PRT v afghánské provincii Lógar v letech 2010-2011 byla proto motivace k odjezdu do mise, jejich profesní očekávání a hodnocení vnitřního i vnějšího prostředí mise. Cílem textu je na základě dat z empirického výzkumu uskutečněného mezi členy PRT (provinčního rekonstrukčního týmu) představit čtenáři alespoň základní kontury obrazu hodnotového světa dnešního příslušníka AČR, jeho profesních očekávání a motivů. Výsledky jsou interpretovány v kontextu Moskosovy teorie o rozporu mezi institucionálním a zaměstnaneckým charakterem ozbrojených sil v současnosti a adaptovány na reálnou společensko-politickou situaci.
